macbook compatible?

hi, can i get into a chatroom using my macbook?

I think if you google parallel with Mac or find a way to install ie on the Mac too. The chatrooms only work with ie or ie addons for browsers. That is what I suggest. I heard rumors about the site owners upgrading so the chatrooms can use Mac but not sure when that might happen.

As far as I know , you cannot install internet exploder on an operating system other than , Windows. You can use programs like virtual machine though or , Wine maybe. You would still need some kind of copy of windows. To the best of my knowledge.

try Boot Camp Demo: Run Windows on a Mac

Until or unless the site gets away from using ActiveX, you're options are:
1. Buy a copy of Windows and install it using Bootcamp.
2. Buy a copy of VMware and Windows, which will let you run both the Mac OS and Windows simultaneously.
3. Buy a copy of Parallels Desktop and Windows which is similar to VMware, but in my opinion is a better product.

If you use Bootcamp, Windows will run like a champ, but every time you need to run a Mac app, you'll have to reboot.

I'm writing this on a MacBook Pro which has limited access to Meetcam, i.e. forums. I have Parallels Desktop, so if I wish I can boot Windows, run IE and have full access, but it's a pain in the ass. If you give Windows a large chunk of memory, Mac apps slow down drastically (including Windows, since it's just an app). If you don't give Windows a large enough amount of memory, Windows slows down. When I boot Windows, I close almost all Mac apps, and keep from running any Mac apps until I'm finished with Windows, at which time I suspend Windows and exit Parallels Desktop.

It is handy to be able to occasionally run windows apps, and they can both be ran simultaneously, but I only run Parallels/Windows when I really need to.

Also, if you haven't already, you should max out the amount of physical memory. I have 4MB, and allocate 2 to Windows. That seems to be the best combination for what I do.

Thanks for the info.

I like my PC never had a MAC.

Went to the Us Fest in 83 they were there.

Excellent summary, USN, and I agree. I also use Parallels on a Macbook and I also believe it's the best way to go. But just because you start a virtual machine, don't be misled into thinking you have a second computer. It don't work that way.

The use of the English language in this thread, it is uphauling. However, that was a rather impressive MAC write up USN. This "can I on a Mac" question is asked frequently and your post will be a solid reference point. +40 MC bucks to you Good Sir.
