As others have said, if the main purpose is to run XyWrite, I would
strongly advise against getting a Win 7 64-bit machine. The 32-bit
incarnation of Win 7 (any version, I believe) runs XyWrite perfectly in
a DOS window (some slight tweaking may be required, depending on your
screen preferences), without even having to resort to XP mode, and
without any of the various virtualization hoops that people with 64-bit
Windows seem to have to jump through.
That said, I recently bought a (second-hand) Macbook Air for a family
member, and these things sure are sexy. Why not get one and finally look
like 99.9 percent of all those cool people in movies and on TV doing
anything with a computer?
