"On a Mac you can run both both Mac and windows operating systems without partitioning the hard drive using parallels or VMware fusion. I use VMware fusion on both my iMac and MacBook without any loss of speed."

I need computer advice!

I'm curious to hear what professional Landscape Architects have to say... Should I split my mac hard drive to be able to run pc-only programs (I've heard this slows down your computer) or should I just buy a pc laptop to run certain programs on?I looked into conversion programs but my mac is either too old of a version or doesn't have enough memory. (osx 10.5, 3GB of free memory)I am also a student so money is an issue.Thanks!See More

To Email or To Mail

I recently attended the Land 8 Lounge webinar about getting jobs in the industry and standing out; the guest Lara said that emailing was they way to go these days for contacting people and especially herself. If I was applying to a post then I would follow what they request of course, but I am talking about approaching firms that may not have a job posting. My profs at university are insisting that if I were to apply to any of the baby boomer generation, those who head a large portion of…See More
