You can only use Unity on one monitor at a time, though. There is no way to move a Windows window from one monitor to the other. Yes, Fusion’s Unity feature works with dual monitors to some extent.

My 17" is 1280x1024, so it's not so bad. Not widescreen, though. I do use the Apple Wireless keyboard (the new one without the keypad) and I love it. I don't care for the mighty mouse, though. I haven't found a bluetooth mouse I like, so I still use a wired Logitech. Thanks for the feedback, Brad.

As a second display, I recently got a 24" LCD with the same resolution as my MacBook Pro. I use it at work all the time, along with Apple's wireless keyboard and mouse. It's a great desktop setup, and the MBP by itself is still fantastic when working at home or on the road. Paul,

Your new reality is scripted and played in my mind every day of my life as I go through the mechanics of showing-up at the day job. You inspire me and give me hope that one day I will execute the script just like you have. Hi Paul,

A couple of the Aetna ones were HSA-compatible but still seemed to have rather high premiums. Thanks for the feedback! I’ve heard good things about HSA plans.

That's what I've got for my company. The coverage is through Blue Cross, and the account is set up through Chase. There may be lots more accounts available now, compared to when we set our up. It's amazing how much better doctors treat you when they know that their client+patient is sitting in front of them, compared to when it is just their patient sitting in front of them, and their client being the insurance company. Good luck. I second what Patrick said about the HSA. That’s what I’ve got for my company. The coverage is through Blue Cross, and the account is set up through Chase.
