I think of it as practically magic. Not every programme works, but if you email the developers they are super helpful and may even sort something out specially for you (they did for my Dad for one programme he needed for his work). Even programmes they don't specifically support have worked out really well for me. It has a 30 day free trial, so you can install it and see if it works for you for free, and saves the hassle of installing a whole other operating system which is a total pain. I have used VMware Fusion and Virtual Box and both are a pain for graphics-intensive programmes unless you have silly amounts of RAM (I work with satellite imagery for my PhD, so I'm chained to my computer a lot!).<br /><br />PS I've read your blog for ages and I love it!gemma_chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11877459366718452995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248018001818356728.post-38167944921788095102012-08-16T15:17:56.723-04:002012-08-16T15:17:56.723-04:00Good

I'm assuming that you have an intel Mac, you will need to have a windows install disk to use virtual box/VMware fusion/bootcamp or parallels. <br /><br />VMware usually has some nice education discounts for their software.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02711188850091511057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248018001818356728.post-8696514255678940412012-08-15T23:21:33.991-04:002012-08-15T23:21:33.991-04:00Which operating system does your Mac have? Lion, M...Which operating system does your Mac have? Lion, Mountain Lion? Older?<br /><br />If you have already made the leap to Mountain Lion, you'll need a patch to make Parallels function on your Mac, available at http://kb.parallels.com/114449.<br /><br />The issue there is that you'll still need to purchase a Windows OS for the partition that Parallels creates. Actually, this is true for any software that would create a virtual Windows environment. That being said, I'd probably choose an option other than Parallels.<br /><br />VMware Fusion is also a possibility for you, other than Virtual PC. I know that VMware Fusion absolutely requires an Intel Mac, and I wouldn't be surprised if your other two options require the same.<br /><br />Honestly, rather than go through all of the cost of purchasing software that will create the virtual environment, as well as the Windows operating system, I'd see if I could return EQ7. It's an awful lot of investment to make for a single piece of software.<br /><br />Quilt-Pro 5 is available for Macs, and is regularly $99.95, versus the regular price tag of $189.95 on EQ7: http://www.quiltpro.com/page/QP5_mainpage_Mac<br /><br />Don't get me wrong - I love EQ7, but I'd hate to see this become an incredibly expensive investment for you. If you're truly dedicated to keeping EQ7, I'd suggest looking into purchasing a Netbook. You might be able to find one on clearance for about the same price of the software to make your Mac compatible with EQ7. Netbooks simply require that you install the software from a flash drive.<br /><br />Good luck!Grey Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13000609665113112519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248018001818356728.post-83230585375154292312012-08-15T22:22:40.623-04:002012-08-15T22:22:40.623-04:00My negative:
