Convincing her to go from the 20" to the 24" won't be a problem, the extra $$ may be though, but that's the price of getting what you need!

Wow, glad there are so many Mac people in here. I am a total Mac Addict and have owned many Apple products (Remember the Apple Lisa?) ;D
Anyway, I am getting ready to purchase a new MacBook Pro and also would like opinions on wether to go with Parallels or VMware Fusion.

The best thing is to download a trial of each and see how which one you prefer
I personally prefer the Parallels interface and as I only use it for Internet Explore testing and use a gaming client, its *lack of robust features* compared to VMware aren't a major problem.

You misunderstood, it was a gaming client, not a game itself. Basically, its a tunneling software allowing me to run my Xbox console through the internet as if it were LAN.
I dislike playing games on my computer, compared to my Xbox, Halo3 anyone
When I do play games on my computer, there are strategy and I prefer non-full screen mode for that. - James Spencer / Developer & Support / Hull, UK

- Parallels works for what I use Windows for. Bootcamp is cool but requires valuable harddrive space I didn't want to give up. It also requires shutting down and if I use Windows, I need dual access to both Operating Systems.
