Hi, its great to see you visiting our forum. Why not try Proton Compiler for FREE? Download the FREE version of Proton Compiler, Its called Amicus18 and its available from HERE Already using proton Compiler??? Get rid of these pesky messages... get LICENSED USER STATUS

I think you can run a emulator on a mac. But the cost of a mac you could have 2 dedicated PC's one for leisure one for just coding.

Absolutely its possible to run PDS on a mac. I run PDS via Parralels desktop for mac.

PDS is a Windows application...its not native to the MAC so either run under paralles desktop, VMware or Bootcamp and run Winodws native on the MAC hardware.

I agree with Tim. You could have two PC's that will blow the doors off a MAC for the same price. You'd have to build them yourself but that's half the fun. If you really shop around you can build a 6 core @ 3.2ghz, 8 gbDDR3 ram, 128GB SSD drive, 1 TB HHD, 6000 series ATI video, 1 DVD, 1 BlueRay, USB 3.0 , SATA III ,Top of the line motherboard & a 27" monitor for around $800 (no OS).

So you can build an extra one for the wife and have 3 pc's for the price of a MAC @ $2400 (and that's not a MAC with all the good stuff) add in the outrageous price of MAC software & hardware and you save even more.

That said if someone gave me a new iMAC I'd take it, The do look GREAT!!! but I need more than looks for the money.

Must confess Doug, the Apple is a rather nicely presented package at a crazy horrendous price for Politically correct appliance with limited use.

Even in notebooks, one could get 3 for the price of one, and still run all great software. I just do not understand the Apple users mentality as to value for money. ?
It is like buying the latest trainers (runners - yank) . to show you have the latest, but a cheap pair will deliver the goodies but may not be acceptable in the must have crowd....

Do you buy a tee shirt becuase it is 1$ or becuase it is 20$ with a brand name as a badge ?

If at the end of the day all you want is a tee shirt.........................

Yes, Proton runs well on a MAC using Parallels Desktop 6. No issues with Hardware or Software.

Note: running PDS on a MAC is an unsupported installation.
