Hi Robin, I use Lace8 on my MacBook Pro. I have something called VisualBox which brings up the Windows desktop and I can access Lace8 through it. Some things are a little temperamental at times but with help, I have managed to use it. I think I use the fn key and delete at the same time to delete an element. Previously I was using Lace RXP through the same VisualBox. Don't ask me how to install it all, my SIL did it for me a number of years ago. Exporting is a pain as I can never remember where to save it to and be able to access it in Mac. It takes me several attempts but I think old age has more to do with it than anything. :-) Janice
<Well I was kind of excited to check out the Lace8 program. I don't design bobbin lace, but I was sure I could use it for Tatting...And then the bomb dropped. I'm beyond disappointed that it only works on a windows machine. I'm not sure I know anyone personaly that even uses a windows based computer anymore. I mean I know people do, just not in my personal world of artists and graphic designers. (I have the same frustration with genealogy programs) With Mac being the largest computer company in the world I would think it would be in the best interest of the software people to make sure there was a Mac compatible version. *SIGH* Guess I'll stick with Illustrator.
