Apple compatible software

[menashe]

I own a great Apple notebook light and quite powerful but I cannot use it to play in BBO.

How long before there will be an Apple compatible software?

To be fair I have a son that works for Apple:)

I just got a powerbook with virtual PC. It works fine on BBO. I needed VPC for other purposes so I could justify the cost as a business expense. Not sure that I would buy VPC for BBO use alone.

I got virtual PC just for BBO back when I was unenlightened and using cool, colourful apple stuff. I was one of those who kept asking Fred to do up a mac version! Now I just want things that work, and the mac has never worked for me. Bah!

 

I am unashamed, in my newfound maturity, to proclaim that I like windows + intel a lot more than any macs. Let the techies keep their linuxes and rainbow macs with lousy batteries. :-)

QEMU can be a free alternative to Virtual PC, but you have to test it (still work in progress, and I don't know Macs)

I also recommend Virtual PC to run BBO on a Mac. I originally got it to run OKWin, but these days I use the Java-based OKplus for that (although it's not as nice as OKwin).

 

It would be nice if we could convince more vendors to create Mac versions of applications, but it's mostly a losing battle. So get VPC and have the best of both worlds.
