Well I broke down and purchased a mac laptop with a 23 Apple monitor. I am about to add in the dual boot option and would appreciate any help I can get, doing it the correct way.
I'm a PC guy and the Apple thing is a little confusing so I being cautious. I am running all the windows apps like PSII, etc. I need office for my work as I live in Word, Powerpoint and Outlook.
I put all the memory the machine can handle (2 gig) and I expect it to be OK, not exceptional at running PS.
I have hooked up to the machine a Nikon 5000 scanner, Epson 4990 scanner and a HP DJ 90. I'm out of ports. Went with a mightly mouse to save a usb port.
Plan to add a external HD (firewire as I'm out of usb ports).
I have ton's of questions, such as,
how to best format windows partition (fat32 or)?,
can I install the windows on the external drive?,
can I partition the external drive?,
should I leave PSII on the windows side?,
other editing software on mac side?.
I calibrated the screen (x-rite Optix pro), 23" screen first, then I drug the dialog over to the laptop screen and calibrated it but it wanted me to overwrite the monitor profile file (a big no-no in windows). I don't understand haw to calibrate both monitors?
Lost in the Mac - Windows divide!!!!
