- Your Mac's Specs
- OS X.3.9
Hi all,
I'm very new to all things Mac, my BIL has given me his Mac which is OS X.3.9 and has a PPC G4.
So as I understand from the sticky I would need to get an Iemulator to run windows on my mac. The thing is, from looking at the link provided this seems to enable the user to effectively have a windows PC; i get that you can then run Office programmes, but my question is why would you want to do this when word:mac, excel:mac etc are out there for mac use?
The only thing I can see from this that benefits is that I will finally be able to easily run a .exe file simply without having to get my mind around the advice and various downloads out there to get these to run on the system I have. (Currently can't download any games for myself or daughter to play at our leisure)
Its highly likely because I am so new to this, but am I missing something?
