[RE-wrenches] SLDs with Mac

[Keith Cronin]

Max, et al.

I've also found parallels to be clunky a couple of years ago as well. Rumored that the new version is catching up to VMWare.

Even when VMWare first came out, it was a little slow to boot the OS- aka, Windows XP.

They've made some great strides since then, so perhaps consider an upgrade or switch to VMWare.
 
Aloha,


Keith

I've got Parallels on my iMac also - yes it's too clunky to be useful. Draftsight is working out great for Cad Dwgs on the Mac, and, again, it's a free download...

I've been running Parallels on a Mac for 3 years, and I just bought a PC for the PC stuff. I like my Mac, but after waiting 1/2 an hour to boot and update everything each time, Parallels is just really clunky.
I like Omnigraffle on my Mac. way better than simpler drawing programs, but not near as complicated as AutoCad.
I consider it optimal for one line diagrams and simple layout stuff. Its quick to use.

> Nick, you can still use Visio/AutoCAD on the Mac if you install Parallels or VMWare, which allow you to run Windows programs. Either of those would run you about $80, which is cheaper than OmniGraffle. Each of these three software packages have trial versions so you can check them out before you commit.
