VMWare Workstation is not free. VMware server is free (but NOT the ESX version). VMware works great, but Parallels has something VMware does not....Coherence. Coherence will let you run JUST the app you want in a Window and not the whole Windows XP instance. This will make it appear that the app is actually running right on top of Mac OS X when it really is not.

Well, this is good and bad. The bad thing is this device could have been a nice one to play with and I will miss the opportunity to try it. The good thing is, it wasn't well received for it's intended purpose. My feeling is a good Smartphone companion is a laptop. Foleo was too large.

I have to disagree with Tony and agree with everyone else on the aeron. 5 years ago when I went to Phoenix for my sysadmin certification cram/test, the hotel I was at had a aeron at the desk and let me tell you I was forever grateful as I spent alot of time in that chair pouring over the test material so I can pass (I did). I give credit to the chair! I even sat in it to watch TV when I first got in and it was more comfortable then any chair in the room.

Congrats Julie! My suggestion....lessee....how about more posts? I know, it's hard, but that's the thing that would make it better. Otherwise, everything's good.
