I'm considering using easybid and would need windows to run their software. I'm considering Windows 7 Home Premium which goes for around $100. Then again, I'm also thinking of just staying with the PBS method. Suggestions? New iMac might be in the not too distant future--want a newer, speedier platform to edit home videos. This one will do the job, but it's show its age.
VMWare Fusion and whatever version of Windows you want. XP or Vista will run EasyBid and won't use a lot of ram.

Any of the emulators, (VMWare or Parallels) will use all the ram you can give them. The earlier versions of Windows will run better with less ram dedicated to the virtual machine.

I use VMWare Fusion with Vista on an 08 Macbook (4gb ram) daily and love it. I have 1 gb dedicated to VMWare.

I've used Parallels in the past and it works fine too. VMWare Fusion just works better when you want to have the Windows environment running together with other Apple OS programs. It's really easy and quick to switch back and forth. Learn what Hot Corners are and use them to switch from Windows back to Mac.

If you go through LHR, you've still got to pull out the Ipad. Different rules.

The T-rusted traveler program is slick as seal sweat...shoes,jackets on,bag thru the machine, no computer removal. Separate line away from the unwashed. Big time saver.

Will the B10 easily attach to your average LW roller bag? Saw the video demo of the B10 and it looks like a great bag. Most of the criticism seem to revolve around poor quality regarding the zippers.

Someone remind me again why they thought the 88 was overstaffed in ATL?

My app just got approved and I just have my interview left. I'm looking forward to the benefits. Is it less scrutiny, (spelling?), than what crew members are subjected to?

B10 easy attach to the roller bag. The zippers are my biggest problem with the bag since the company's warranty does not cover the wear and tear that these things are exposed to.

I understand this part of the warranty, but some of the zippers are on the outer edges of the bag and when dragged behind a roller bag it is the first part of the bag to come in contact with what ever it hits. A poor design for how the zippers are exposed and no coverage since this is your fault.
