Does anyone know whether SeeYou can be run on a Mac?


On a pre-Intel Mac, your option would be to run it in Virtual PC - way,
way too slow for SeeYou.

I understand the new Intel Mac running Parallels is very fast, & I'm
looking forward to getting one soon (had to buy one for the
college-bound grandson first). You'd probably want as much RAM as
possible, and it still might not be able to handle all of SeeYou's
bells & whistles. But I intend to try.


I run SeeYou on a 1 Ghz G4 PowerBook (17"), with 1 GB of RAM. I use Virtual
PC 6 with W2K as the emulated Gates-ian environment. It's adequate for all
except 3D flight replays. For flight planning, task entry, waypoint
management, OLC optimization, etc it's adequately fast, if a little pokey,
but it beats buying a WinDoze machine. Even works fine for flight replays,
as long as you don't try for 3D.
