I am back and working on my new MacBook Pro. I think the best thing is that I am compiling KDE on Gentoo while installing MS Office on WinXP Pro (I already owned the copy of Office, why not?) and surfing on Firefox in Mac, typing a blog entry in ScribeFire (formerly known as Performancing.)<\/p>\n

The biggest difference I can see between Windows or Linux running VMWare and Mac running Parallels is that Parallels is a whole lot faster. With the same kind of OS settings I used in VMWare I am getting performance that blows away anything I have experienced prior to now. So far I have had no issues with pausing the VMs and putting the machine in ‘Sleep’ mode – although I have seen a few complaints about hanging in that instance on the boards.<\/p>\n

So the big thing over the next week or so will be data recovery from the old hard drives, installing all the tools I need, and getting my OSes set up the way I want to work.<\/p>\n

As far as the old rig goes, I’m not sure whether it has anything to do with it, but the motherboard looks discolored around the on-board video card, and powering it up and leaving it for 10 minutes or so to see if it would actually ever try to boot resulted in a lot of heat from the video card.<\/p>\n
