[Ham-Mac] new iMac: parallels vs. fusion?

[Rick Prather]

Nice Christmas present!

Seems to me it would be a lot easier to unplug and plug the USB cable to the microHam than to reboot!

Better yet, do as I have done, go with Mac programs only.  Between Macloggerdx, RUMlog, RUMped, Skookumlogger, Cocoamodem, Spot and the OSX version of the K3 utility I don't think I'm missing much.

Enjoy!
