LOL

Well the Air is here to now

Darn thing is FAST. Even though the clock speed is almost a GHZ slower than my new iMac, it feels as fast if not faster - odd.

Anyway. If I do go with two Airs on the desk they will be bolted, cabled and velcroed down. I fear a customer stealing more than a to be ex employee.

I only have the trial for Parallels to test this all out for now. So far so good.

One reason I may keep the Dell server is that I dont like cables anywhere on the counter. But the main reason is that I can create a disk image of the PC volume and easily copy/backup that image. If something goes wacky with the virtual machine, just dump that image and copy a known good one in place. If one of the Airs is indeed the server, that is not going to be as flexible. Although I suppose I could create a separate volume just for the data?
