I'm sure you, My Public, have been wondering if Frogman had hopped away from his blog responsibilities. Well Yes, but only because my twice-rebuilt, recently updated, AVG protected "Personal Computer" had a motherboard crash that sent the hard drive into a non-responsive safe mode akin to a high-tech spy satellite (recently shot out of the sky). It can only be rescued in autopsy, cannibalized for it's precious drafting files of our house and the germ of it's addition.
To err is human, alas it takes a computer to F' Up Big Time.
So I've been otherwise occupied, but found that the latest Leopard operating system on Mac's allow you to partition the hard drive through Boot Camp and load Windows on any Intel Apple. Best of both worlds! I went for this approach since we don't need Windows and OSX to talk to each other and I was wary of Parallels slowing down my drafting program. This way they both operate in their native environment and I can forget building up another Piece of Crap.
Anyone need a monitor the size of a couch?
There's still work to be done as I've got two weeks of constipated Power Tap files to dump and will have to re-protect the Windows side of the Mac. I am happy to get Windows running, but feel blasphemous, tarnishing the pristine beauty and elegance of an Apple with the clumsy and sickly Microsoft alien. Once under control I can focus on more important things like the house design and Trade Zone.

Hey Frogman,
Have you tried using VMware Fusion instead of Parallels? Some say Parallels has some quirks and my boss's Parallels is broken. I heard from my engineer that Fusion it's better and more stable. I get my MacBook this next week for work and will be running that configuration. I'm bit new to the Mac as I haven't really used one since the wife had one in grad school.
See you around one of these days.
Harry,
We partitioned the Mac to run Windows in it's native environment, however for some reason nothing works right-I can't even get an internet connection to download drivers, the crux of the problem. It may be that my version of Windows is OEM or doesn't have Service Pack 2 or both. If you're getting it for work, then get the latest XP. I hear you should avoid Vista.
Good luck. Mine sucked.
