Re: Non UNO Mac Editor... Anyone?



I tried Parrallels once, didnt work well enough for me, If I ever REALLY need to do a Windows thing, Ill do the Windows partition thing...
But its good to hear that iFCB is OK, Ill prob buy the firmware, thanks for all the advice guys...

You know, there are ways of running windows software in OS X.  I use

partition (another option if you have a spare windows licence
collecting dust).
