Thanks.

Or you can use "boot camp". It's a program that comes on your mac. Step by step instructions. You basically boot up the computer in either OSX or Windows (one or the other). Parallels, like blue described, allows you to run both at once.

He probably will as he's a good coach from a good coaching family.

Thanks! Someone suggested crossover, as well. I'm using that for easy bid. But, I don't think it's working too well for my HP printer. Seems as though I have the only HP printer that doesn't work with Mac's.

How lucky is that?

If you guys can remember back to the interview process, one of the things "To bring" is official college transcripts. Did you have your school mail them to Delta, or bring them in yourself?

I have an HP printer that pretty much does not work well with anything. It does however, work surprisingly well with my MAC running boot-camp. This system really does work great - your MAC essentially becomes a PC with a few minor differences (mostly related to your keyboard).

Running bootcamp does have two shortfalls as I see it:

Inconvenience - I often have to reboot from a MAC to a PC to run some MIL programs and this will often require me to not only reboot but also to log in again on a wireless network - all of which can turn a 30 second task into a 10 minute penalty.

Cost - You have to have a copy of windows to install.

Once running the systems will run windows as good if not better than most windows machines.

I had the school mail me my official transcripts which came in sealed envelopes back then. I would have some ready and when you are setting up your interview you can always ask if anything else is required.

I don't remember having them sent directly to DAL, but am not 100% sure about that.

I brought them in myself with all my documents. In my case, they just looked to see that I had brought them but didn't go over in detail. Other guys/gals they went over in detail...

Well, back in the Dark Ages, I brought mine in (in the sealed envelope). I was too paranoid that it would get lost in the mail or miss filed by the Company. Just one less thing I had to worry about...

Hey! It's not called paranoia when you KNOW everyone is out to get you!!
