MAC Pro for V5.6

Post by jsphillips »

I was contemplating buying a MacPro for Travel as lightweight and small.
Is there a Mac version I can use or do I have to partition disc with Windows etc.
Is anyone out there doing this please.

FH is a Windows only program.

You can run it using Parallels or VM-Ware with a virtual machine under iMac and you might be able to run it under CrossOver as well, but I don't know if any one has done that yet.

I'm using Bootcamp and Windows 7 on my iMac. Everything I want runs in Bootcamp, including FH, and I boot straight into Windows now. My iMac has been a great PC.

It sounds like your My Documents link is broken,  take a look at this one to see if it helps.
