Parallels: Running Windows on my MacBook!

In summary, DH bought me Parallels for Christmas. It arrived today. I'm running P3 on my MacBook without having to go through Boot Camp. It's weird to see both the Dock on the right and the Windows task bar on the bottom of the screen. Hehe!

Hehe! Yes, that's nerdy that you're excited about that! ;) My brother helped my parents pick out their new iMac over the holidays, and he got them Parallels, too. It's pretty cool stuff! Now, if only they could find the Windows software they bought a few years ago...!! (My parents are packrats, but of course, they can't find a $250 software cd!!!). Enjoy your new stuff!!
 
Okay... now I'm jealous! I'll have to check this out tonight! ;)
