Experience Running FrameMaker on the new MacIntel - and InDesign??

2006-09-27 Thread jb...@ricoh-europe.com
Hey Framers, 

What about InDesign on Mac? I'm planning on purchasing a new mac laptop 
and am interested in people using 
InDesign on a Mac. Are you noticing any problems?

I am running Frame on a MacBook Pro, using Parallels instead of Boot 
Camp.  Parallels lets me open a Windows window on the Mac, and run 
Frame in that.  I did have to cross-grade my OS 9 version of Frame to 
a windows version.

It works fairly well - the file structure is shared, and I treat 
Frame like any other application.  It's a little slow, and there are 
some cut and paste oddities between the systems, but since I needed a 
new Mac, this was about the only choice.

Until we get an OS X version of Frame, I can live with this.

Why should there be any problems in running InDesign on a Mac? I don't follow 
the reasoning here, although the association of 'Mac' and 'problems' makes me 
unhappy. Maybe you meant 'Has anyone run PC InD on Mac under Parallels/Boot 
Camp/Wahtever, and are there any problems?'?
