My friend that's buying a Mac wants the program that runs Windows too-what do you recommend? I have only heard of Parallels-is that good?

Parallels is very good, but it would be my third choice. VMWare Fusion is even better, in particular making better use of multi-core machines. There is a very good deal on it at MacMall - macmall.com/ttsvr/p/VMware-Software/prod... 19.99 after rebate for the old version with a free upgrade to the current version.

There is also VirtualBox - perhaps not quite as polished as Fusion or Parallels, but still very good, and free - virtualbox.org.

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.
