Bring me muffins and bagels!

Parallels rocks

My laptop, my desktop and my phone all have one thing in common…They are all Apple and work very well together.

Unfortunately sometimes, much as I would rather avoid it, I have to use Windows based apps. Be it some crummy web app with embedded Sibel and a requirement for Explorer, or one of a handful of apps I use in my radio shack/lab at home to drive GPIB, USB, or RS232 based instruments, rotators, radiosĀ  or other accessories.

Some of those apps have been historically tied to hardware, requiring a healthy PC stuck under my desk that is otherwise dominated by a 27″ iMac.

No longer. Today I finished up moving everything over to the mac using Parallels. Now the apps I use quite a bit, Lady Heather, MyVNA, DG8SAQ VNA software, TRX-Manager, VE2ZAZ’s GPSDO controller, Labview and many other s all work right on my OS X desktop.

Victory is mine! Bring me the fines muffins and bagels in the land!
