TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
At work, I use a MacBook Pro with the Parallels desktop that runs Windows 7
as a virtual machine. It runs extremely well, and I only have one computer
and monitor to deal with. (When running more than one Windows program,
though, I don't like the Coherence mode--quickly gets too confusing when
some windows are PC, some Mac.)
It's handy in unexpected ways, too. I recently had a problem with some PC
software, so I was easily able to "spin up" a new Windows virtual machine,
reinstall the software, and diagnose the problem in the new environment.
Harder to do this with physical boxes!
Best of both worlds for me...
