I selected this after reading a number of horror stories w/ Parallels and have had excellent success with it. I suspect that Parallels has worked the bugs out by now, but I don't plan to mess with success. I usually have a number of programs running on the Mac side and Photoshop CS3 on the Windows side. One caution ... make sure you have enough memory in the Powerbook. I recommend 2 GB minimum so that you can allocate 1 GB to the virtual machine. Feel free to email me if you have any questions. Good luck! FYI — after you get your computer back into the land of the living I suggest using VMWare Fusion as your virtual machine.
