Hi The hardware for just about any of them will run fine under OS-X. The software is not available as OS-X native program. The simple answers would be to run it under Boot Camp or in a Vmware shell. Neither one is really a Mac solution to the problem though, since you are running Windows on the Mac. None of it would work if you have a Power PC Mac.
Simply put - like a lot of technical stuff, you need Windows or a Windows clone. Bob On Jul 7, 2010, at 11:56 AM, Thomas A.
