Would really appreciate any help with this!

Recently the office I work at just switched to mac mini's, a friend of mine uses a pc at home but wanted to make the switch to a mac mini, but he has a few requirements, he asked me but as i am a complete novice at the moment i told him i'd find out for him, so... He has 3 main requirements,

1.He needs to be able to run microsoft office on his new mac
2.He has to be able to run Sage Accounting software on his new mac
3.His daughter has LOADS'S of games that she plays on the pc at the moment, some of which say PC/MAC, some don,t.

CAN ANYONE HELP?

1. It will run you just need to purchase the mac version
2. From what I see on their site it is solely on PC's
3. The ones that don't say PC/MAC will most likely not work, only the PC/Mac

This is not a problem with MS Office for Mac

2.He has to be able to run Sage Accounting software on his new mac
Windows only

3.His daughter has LOADS'S of games that she plays on the pc at the moment, some of which say PC/MAC, some don,t.
Generally speaking, those games marked as Windows/PC only are just that, but there are many games that are Mac compatible

It sounds like his household is a perfect candidate for (2) machines. Just keep the daughters PC and get a Mini.

What the others said ----- but - some of those games are most likley not written for OS X - but for the older Mac OS's ---- would force them to run in "classic" mode ---- something I've never done :eek:
