I hope not :twisted:

no, kidding.... don't make it complicate, and use BootCamp if you got a new Mac...

Otherwise there should be a possibility to emulate windows on older Macintosh systems ( => Google )
But don't aspect any performance wonders because of the emulation and the poor performance of older Mac's ^^


BTW: welcome back dude... long time not seen :wink:

It is possible with Darwine. http://darwine.opendarwin.org/ (Wine on Mac)
But only Indigo 06 and 07 up to t3 works. t4 and t5 crashes.

Try out Crossover from Codeweavers. It runs Indigo without installing Windows, and it runs great!!! I'm using it a lot now (well since the Sketchup plugin). It's well worth it. You can download a 60 day trial.

crossover from codeweavers is a slightly alterd version of wine, just more uptodate then the wine on mac project (they are still on 9.10 when latest is 9.31 i think)

eman, I didn't know that. So is it worth trying darwine for example, instead of spending 80 dollars on a slightly altered version of a free program? I'm using the beta/trial version, but I don't want to install it every 60 days or so.

Thanks!

Regards,

Peter

But a Mac version would be great btw. If you need beta-testers let me know Nick!

yes, defently worth it to give it a try. i have not used either myself, but part of corssover's alteration is a lack of technical savvy on the users part, just my two bits.
