    All the more reason to get a Mac!

      Would that I could! I'd do it in a heartbeat--but unfortunately, I work for a university (teaching online) and their platform requires PC's. Darn it!

      Yes, you can run Windows on a Mac and thus expose your Mac to Windows viruses.

      your BootCamp Windows partition cannot read or write to your Mac OS Extended partition. So while you might get a PC virus that will mess up your windows system, you will still be able to reboot into a clean, virus-free Mac OS.

      Thanks for the info! When I bought my PC two years ago, I was debating between a PC and Mac. Even though I really wanted the Mac, I went with a PC because I needed to run CAD on my computer. Now, I am wishing I had gone with a Mac and run a parallel platform.
