Q: boot camp vs. parallels
I've been running Windows using boot camp on a Mac Mini with Snow Leopard. I just got a new iMac, trying to decide if I should continue to use boot camp or if I should try Parallels. Any thoughts, ideas, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

You remember this thread better than I do, but:
You can close SL back over to your iMac, but Bootcamp must be a separate partition setup by the Bootcamp assistant.
There is a program, called Winclone, I think, that you can use to clone your Bootcamp partition and after a new, fresh Bootcamp partition is established on your iMac, you can then use Winclone to restore your files from one Bootcamp to the other... in theory! I have never successfully used Winclone; but probably no harm in trying.
