hi hackmac,
Before you make your purchase why don't you visit an apple store. They should have an imac with parallels on it. Ask if you can take a look at it, possibly with one of the apple associates that is a trainer. Or someone that is familiar with the software.
For me Parallels works great. My only suggestions are to make sure that you read the installation manuel, (or at least have it handy) and as a new user I might not try a Custom Installation the first time out.
Good luck with apple, I hope you find Parallels as useful as I have. It's a really great product.
