Parallels ist doch schon lange "final" - deshalb benutze ich ja auch Fusion.

HIhi.

Gibts irgendwo einen brauchbaren Vergleich zwischen den beiden finalen Finalisten, also Parallels 3 und Fusion 1?

ich wäre auch an so einem testbericht interessiert

Noch nicht die finalsten Finalversionen, nehme ich an, aber doch schon ein ganz brauchbarer Anhaltspunkt. Auf neuere Berichte müssen wir wohl noch warten.

Warum macht MTN nicht einfach einen eigenen Test? Wäre mal innovativ, einen eigenen soliden Testbericht zu verfassen. (Außer Auspackzeremonien, meine ich)

Wäre ja mal was für MacRewind. Ich kann die gnzen Fototaschen und Rasierapparate schon nicht mehr sehen

Stefan S.

Hihi, da geht es dir wie mir

Stefan S.<br>
Lass ihn doch, er ist Foto-Fan und bei mir geht das Überfliegen der Rewind sehr viel schneller!

Ja, zum Überfliegen ist es klasse - manchmal kese ich aber auch ganz gerne Neues. Fototaschen kenne ich schon.

dieter

Du hast recht - er könnte andere Hobbys haben, die unpassender wären.

Also ich hätte nichts dagegen, wenn er jede Woche eine neue Biersorte testen würde
