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.<br>I like Omnigraffle on my Mac. way better than simpler drawing programs, but not near as complicated as AutoCad.<br>I consider it optimal for one line diagrams and simple layout stuff. Its quick to use.<br><br>R.

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.<br>>
