Waving Goodbye to Windows
My wife's old XP box developed a bad sector problem on its hard drive, and it's old enough that it just wasn't worth it to fix - we dumped the data to a USB drive, and ordered a Mac Mini. She'll still need Windows access for some old apps, but that's what Parallels is for :)
The last non-VM Windows box in the house exists for only one reason now - to provide wired internet access to my XBox when I use the XBox in the exercise room :)
