I'm seriously considering crossing over and buying a Powerbook the end of this month.

Do have a few concerns though. I know that companies like Markspace and PocketMac give quality solutions for synching your basic PIM functions with Mac equivalents. But I have more synching to do than that.

I use SPB Finance to synch my Quicken.
I use MightySync to sync files to my SD card.
I just purchased Phatnotes and sync with a Phatnotes equivalent on my PC.

Should I just purchase Virtual PC and split my apps up?

I know you mac users are out there. Please enlighten me as to how you make these items work.

Okay, I know there are Mac/PPC users out there.

There are companies surrounding Mac users and PPC.

Surely someone can offer me insightful information about how they use them together.

Surely you all will not pass up an oppurtunity to prostylize a Windows user. :D

Joking aside... some advice please.

Thanks for the links.
It looks like they only resolve PIM (which I wasn't worried about) and maybe the syncing to an SD card.

Sounds like VirtualPC would be a staple for me if I crossed over. I guess that means I wouldn't be able to convert to a Mac version of Quicken. And maybe abandon my Phatnotes?

Hmmm.... guess I have more things to consider.
