[QUOTE="lil, post: 169735"] Has she actually sat down and really played with a Mac? I wouldn't call the BSD UNIX underpinnings too simple :flower: The answer to your question is no though, your Mac runs a PPC, Windows needs an x86 CPU which can be emulated as you identify. The only versions of Windows that will run natively on the PPC are versions older than and including NT 3.51 if I recall correctly, and even then it wouldn't work. Macs won't be for everybody but the best way to find out is to play with a Mac. Vicky [/QUOTE]
