 No, but you should feel special because I'm going through all this trouble for you.


EDITED because I accidentally hit the "Enter" button on the goddamn Blackberry without finishing the post, and it didn't give me the option to edit or delete.

I don't know about you, but parallels screams on my 17" iMac.  I haven't tested anything graphics intensive, but firefox and gaim and opera all run at near-native speeds.  Parallels (and other VM's) also have a lot of other advantages over dual booting.  If you're ultra paranoid about malware I don't see a better solution than running FreeBSD in a VM on a mac.  It's fast enough for day-to-day use for me. 

[EDIT] Damn it just occured to me that if you're really the tinfoil hat kind you could take all your sensitive data, move it to a VM and then encrypt the VM's hard disk image with GPG or something.  I don't know if there's a vm around that can boot from a GPG'd disk image, but it would be interesting to find out.   Someone should get on this.
