    More than I expected

    I got this program just to move files over quickly to my new Mac like the sales person told me it would do.

    I was really happy about the lessons that taught me about my new Mac. I didn't think I'd rely on those videos as much as I did.

    3 products in one. A must have.

    Keeps crashing

    Written by BC from honolulu

    Nov 14, 2009

    I bought this program after switching to a MacBook thinking I could use it like a WIndows machine. It worked for about a week, but then it kept on crashing like my Windows machine would. I now use VMWare Fusion which is much more stable but takes up at least 8Gb for a full insatllation of Windows XP Pro. More
