Some of the programs I use only run on windows, so I had to install parallels Desktop and Windows Vista on my Macbook Pro, which is not what i bought my MAC for, but that’s life.

I ran into a problem typing in Arabic since Windows MAC uses a different keyboard layout, so much for standardization!  After suffering for so long I accidentally typed the correct word combination in Google and (drum roll) ……….. I found it!

The kindhearted people at Microsoft actually created a keyboard Arabic layout for MAC keyboards.  I downloaded it, followed the instructions, and now I can type without having to keep a windows keyboard next to me every time I need to type something in Arabic.  Life is good all over again
