Well, Mr (cough, splutter, cough) dorayme - if it be so, should
really be Mr Dorayme. But anyway, to more weighty matters, manly
matters indeed: Bootcamp!
Sounds not very practical according to your info. //s sounds a
good way to go. I do get almost the same functionality by a
Winbox next to my Mac tower and both Mac and Winbox connected to
different ports on the 20", thus a simple button press to go to
the VGA gets me the Windows box on screen (the Mac, on that
particular screen is connected to the dvi port of the screen).
True, I have to fish the mouse and keyboard for the Winbox out
from the back of the monitor where they are kept. Silly me has
been cursing Windows and Bill Gates quite unfairly at times
because nothing appeared on the screen from key presses... it
helps to be using the right keyboard! (yes, I know about KVM
switches and stuff... I'm too lazy to set this up.)
