Time to Buy a Mac!
You've got an iPod on your PC and you've heard all about iLife, where your photos, music, home movies, calendars and more work together seamlessly. Unfortunately, your job is still stuck on Windows and you need to run something that doesn't run on the Mac (even though Microsoft Office runs great on a Mac and works perfectly with Office files created on Windows computers), so you still need a PC.
Luckily, buying a new Mac is like buying two computers in one.
Here's how:
1) The Mac works well on a network with Windows computers. Since most networks use open standards for communication, each computer speaks a common language to each other. If you already have a home network at home, plugging in your new Mac and getting on line is a breeze.
2) Apple recently released BootCamp, which allows new Macs built with Intel processors to boot into either the Mac or Windows operating system. You can use BootCamp to set up your Mac to do the boring stuff with Windows, then reboot to Mac OS X for the stuff you'd rather be doing.
Soon, I'll post an article on setting this up for yourself. Until then, get a Mac!
