Hi Folks,

Thought I'd run this by you folks for any thoughts.

Have a WinRadio G-31 Excalibur which i really liked.

Trying to use it with my new iMac, (with the SSD option to speed things up, supposedly)
via Bootcamp and a full version of W10 (via Bootcamp).

As I've found out, the Excalibur is not usable under the Parallels program (which i also have)
for a bunch of reasons. The folks at WinRadio also confirmed this. Won't work under these virtual partitions.

So, it's apparently Bootcamp, or forget it.

a. Anyone using perhaps under VMFusion ?

b. Anyway,

Really disappointed with Bootcamp (Running High Sierra).

Bootcamp is just about totally unusable for me.
It "works," but-

When it starts in the new Windows mode, it asks for not only a Password each time,
but also you have to pick your internet connection as a second option.

This really slows everything to a crawl.
Even if it didn't stop for these two options, would be very, very, slow.

**Any way of avoiding all of this ?
I'm a sole user, and would love to eliminate any and all passwords, etc.

Then, when going back to the OS, it is also very slow.

Not only that, but once back, I have all of those bouncing icons in the Dock
that I have to wait to quiet down. MS WORD and EXCEL are the worst, sometimes
taking, honest, no exaggeration, a full 5 minutes.

Any tricks to making Bootcamp actually usable ?
How to obtain relatively fast switching both ways, without all the nonsense requests each time ?

Would sure like to use.

**BTW: Mojave (likely) any better ? Running High Sierra now.

Thanks,
Bob
