For those of you who run PC based framing programs but want to run them on a mac this program may be of use. I havent used the PC-MAC version but the UNIX-WINDOWS version works a treat. Not to expenseive at 49 bucks. Im not sure that it is availble for iPAd though.

Re: Running Windows on a Mac
Thank you for this!
You can run the Windows operating system on your Mac at native speed—without the performance penalty that comes with software emulation or "virtual machines." Windows applications have full access to multiple processors and multiple cores, accelerated 3D graphics, and high-speed ports and networking such as USB, FireWire, Wi-Fi, AirPort, and Gigabit Ethernet as well as drivers for audio and Bluetooth functionality.

Re: Running Windows on a Mac
I have a MacPro and have trawled the net to see if I can run a Gunnar on it if I put an RS232 card in it but can't get a definitive answer
I run Parallels on it with XP....

Re: Running Windows on a Mac
if your going to spend 16k on a cmc and you find you can't gunnar run it on your mac, surly £300 on a laptop won't break the bank.
Re: Running Windows on a Mac
i would suggest not using a laptop for 2 reasons
1. most new laptops dont have a serial port
2. laptop screens are generally way to small if you want to do any for of design on your cmc

Re: Running Windows on a Mac
my turn over rose by £500 per week shortly after buying my cmc. a loan over 5 years is cheaper or about the same as renting.
