Since making the (long awaited) switch to a Apple|Mac as my primary computer, I like many others have longed for some of the software available only for Microsoft Windows|Windows. Sure, I run Parallels and it's great on the go, but processing speed is frustrating day-to-day. So, now I have not one, not two, but three monitors on my geek inspired desk.
One of them controls a Windows desktop and I fly between each of them with ease using Synergy. One mouse, one keyboard, double love. Give this a go too if you find yourself in a similar "hate windows but need it to work" scenario: http://synergy2.sourceforge.net.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
