Looks awesome.
Lee, have you gotten Parallels to function right? We had that on some of the macs at my old job, and we could never get it to work 100%. My boss messed with the RAM settings (something about allocating a certain amount of RAM to XP or something), but even though that helped a bit, it still didn't work that great. We ended up using Boot Camp and switched between operating systems that way.
BTW, I love those thin keyboards.

Yup, I have all 3 Windows instances running right now Parallels 5 is the best yet... you may have been using 3 or 4 which I heard people had some grief with.
That's actually a keyboard i grabbed from another mac, I kept mine in its box along with the magic mouse.
I will be using an older style full size bluetooth keyboard I have at home

Have you had a chance to compare parallels with vmware? I'm using vmware exclusively and have always wondered if parallels is any better.
Btw your office uses cs4 or is that your own copy? (you lucky dog! I'm still on cs3 and definitely won't be buyin cs4 for a long time...)

No, I have never used VMWare... only ever used Parallels. Honestly, Parallels just plain works for me. Especially 5, 3 had a few weird bugs, 4 was a lot better, but 5 is an all-star for me so far. Maybe I'll give vmware a shot on one of the work macs.
Yeah my work uses cs4, we basically get whatever's new as soon as it comes out Very lucky to have a boss who wants the latest and greatest!
