Hi Peggy,
I have not run PastPerfect on a Macintosh, but it would probably be wise to
perform a test run on another machine first. Do you have access to an Inte
l
mac (a friend or at work?)? Do you already have a copy of PastPerfect? If
so, you could give it a try and see how it performs.
In order to run PastPerfect on a mac, you'll need OS X 10.5 or 6 (Snow
Leopard). These OSs come with Apple's "boot camp" which allows you to
install Windows XP. You'll need a full installation copy of Windows XP in
order to get the OS up and running. Once XP is installed through boot camp
,
you'll be able to install PastPerfect.
I use OS X at home along with linux and would be happy to provide
mac-related information. I also run the PastPerfect workshops through WHS,
so I can try to help address any PastPerfect questions too.
Sincerely,
Craig
