OK. Kind of new here. Been using my macs mostly with bootcamp running
Windows. Kind of thinking I should at least make an attempt to learn the mac
os at some point, right? I removed my bootcamp partition on my mac mini and
intend on using that as my learning computer as well as my broadcast machine
for my internet radio stuff. I'm starting to get somewhere, I do have the
basic of voiceover down, thanks to my iphone and my magic trackpad and such.
I do have what I think may be some more advanced questions.
ON my macbook pro, which I use for work, I was thinking of tossing the
windows xp partition. However, I have stored up a bunch of work related
emails in outlook 2003. Not to mention all my work documentation in my
documents folder. I am sure I could access the windows partition on the mac
side and copy the documents folder over and I would hope that there is a way
to open and work with excel spreadsheets, which contain time sheet that I'd
need to fill out as well as word documents. The main issue is extracting the
outlook mal that I have saved, which I need since there is a lot of work
related info I may need to reference. Anybody ever try this? Is there an
accessible spreadsheet app I can pick up that will allow me to work with
excel spreadsheets for time sheet info and a word processor that handles
word documents. I have adium as a messenger app, so will try to figure that
out soon.
If this doesn't work out, maybe it's a good idea to put vm fusion on the
Mac. I've been seeing people doing this, but haven't paid incredible
attention to detail as I was just getting my head into the mac os as it was.
So, how well does vm fusion work as compared to bootcamp. Is it a viable
option to use? I am running this on a mac book pro, 2008 vintage, 2.4 ghz
processor, 200gb hard drive, 4gb of ram, running snow leopard.
I'm mainly asking this as my xp partition which is now 2 years old is
slowing way down and honestly getting tired of switching back and forth when
I want to use the mac side of things. So, thought maybe vm fusion is a
better way to go for now, or if I can copy the stuff I need out of the pc,
just ditch windows entirely. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
