I love my Mac but do have parallels installed so that I can run my Janome 11000 software and also my EQ7 as I had those before I bought the Mac. I only open the 'parallels/windows' partition when I use those applications.

Another Mac user here.Mine is 2 yrs old & SIL installed Windows on it, because he thought it'd be easier to gradually move to Mac.
He was always showing me what Mac could do....whole family is into Apple products....anyway, not sure I could use Windows if I wanted to, don't remember how.:) Apple all the way! :) :)

I can't stay and chat as I have to go remove the 7 thousand new viruses that have found a home on my hard drive in the last hour. :wink: :wink:

I'm a Mac user also. I installed the VM Fusion software on my Mac & it runs Windows programs. Have EQ6 and it runs fine. I think there's also Parallels software that will allow you to run Windows. There's a yahoo group for EQ Mac users that's very helpful.

If you have a quilting software answer, let me know. until then keep using our apples.

Love all these wonderful Mac comments! Now, how can we forward this thread to the designers of quilt softwear so they can wake up and smell the coffee? We want MAC based quilting software and aren't going to take it anymore! ;-)

I checked the laptop DH gave me, it's a 13-inch 256GB, Mac Air book. He uses a HP laptop so ? anyway, it's the prettiest laptop I've seen but the thing won't run my EQ software and I have about all of the programs. I guess if I had to use the computer to tote around for work I'd use the Mac. I use my IPad for portable computer use. It does all I need, internet and email.
