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

[Jack Brindle]

You might also want to take a look at the Mac Keyboard and Mouse  
preferences. Checking "Use F1, F2, etc..." can make things run a lot  
smoother. It also forces you to press the fn key to make things like  
screen brightness, expose, and other functions that are associated  
with the standard Mac f-keys. Not a bad tradeoff when you want ot use  
the f-keys for other things (like Winders functions).
