First off you have to purchase a copy of windows if you do not already have a copy.
Second - you must re-boot your computer to switch back and forth. This is not a big deal if you use it for an exclusive purpose, such as DAL work.
I recommend that you go to the DALPA forum and review the computer section. Lots of good information on this topic. There are a couple of programs that run windows as a program vice rebooting your whole system. I think they are called Parallels and Fusion. I opted for the boot-camp setup because I use my MacBook for a lot of Navy crap that needs windows and was not sure if either of those two would work.
Hopefully DAL will come up with stuff that works on MACs.
Hope this helps.

Thanks, it does. Just picked up Parallels 5. Of course, I also had to pay $200 for for Windows 7. I don't have log-in onfo for the dalpa forum. Not sure when we will get briefed by alpa in training.
