If the Mac is PPC rather than intel, then I wouldn't recommend virtialization as it would be 'emulation', which is unproductively slow. You would be better off buying a low-end PC. However, if the Mac has an intel cpu, then start with the FREE Virtualbox, and see if it meets your needs. If not, VMware Fusion is very good, and also Parallels Desktop for Mac. If intel, and your OS is at least Leopard, SnowLeo, or Lion, you could install Windows using BootCamp (in Utililies). This would allow you to boot natively in Windows, and would be as close to the real thing as you can get while using Apple hardware. https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads https://www.vmware.com/tryvmware/ http://www.parallels.com/download/ http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3986 ˜Roger _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
