I've never used boot camp. I like fusion because I can do everything without a sighted person around. I don't have a pair of working eyes here except for the dog and cats, which aren't much help! All I need the windows side for is for running k 1000 and for a few games that don't have mac versions, anyway. As soon as I'm not in school anymore I can probably ditch the k1000 and just use it for the games, unless I can get some really good mac games. Caitlyn
