I've looked at that, but what's not on the site is a comparitive
evaluation. It's not that there's nothing on the market it's that there's
a lot of PC solutions on the market which bodge in the Mac interface and
the ones that do it properly are more expensive than the computers I'm
trying to use. For example the prices I've been quoted for a Cybex
solution it would probably be cheaper to extend the office and buy
another desk. Seriously, somewhere in the region of 15000FF (you'll have
to convert to USD) for a single mac and single pc solution which uses the
Mac peripherals. That's a little nutso for a small home office solution.
What would be useful info is to hear from people who've tried the
solutions in a Mac PC configuration and can say whether it works well,
whether the video quality is up to scratch after going through the switch.
Thanks again
