There is no Mac version but users reported use of the software with a Windows simulator.

Think of the demand this represents, 951 Mac customers got this far, just to see if a Mac version is available. Get it compiled eMachingShop.com, start making a 10.4 OSX version for Mac users. -WB

To Mac users: down load Bootcamp from Apple support, or install Parallel desktop for which you have to buy software, then install an original copy of your favorite Windows operating system. You computer must have the new Intel chip Duo Core in order for Windows to run on your Mac.
Would like to know whether this worked for you, or let me know if you need help. Yes, it did for me. Thank you.

Sun Oct 25, 2009 1:12 pm Acid Bath v. MS Windows |
|
|

To those of us still using Power PC chips based Macs, there used to be a version sof Wine /Parallels/VWare which allowed us to put on a hideous copy of Windows on our mac, but I don't think I want to find out hell well it works.
But on to the next (more important!) point, Mac users are not going to load up Windows (at $100/copy) on Parallels (how much? not sure) just to use eMachineShop.com. But seriously, Macintosh loyalists would sooner soak their Mac in boiling acid before they would consider loading Microsoft Windows.

Sun Oct 25, 2009 1:21 pm Plug-In Instead |
|
|
|
Instead of re-kindling the MS-Apple wars (the latest Vista battle droids were solidly defeated by the OSX force), any chance eMachineShop.com can be made into a Firefox (Camino, Chrome, Opera) plugin instead? Let the browser render the GUI.

Mon Oct 26, 2009 10:14 am The obvious solution for many--find a homeless PC |
|
|

Older PCs now appear at recycle stations along with perfectly good 23" CRT TV's. I keep my old HP in the back bedroom just for Emachineshop work. Someday the software may get so dated the produced files are not accepted. But until then, the price is right and it is working great. (Those latest Apple ads for Windows 7 are a riot.)
I hope to submit some brackets I made for my bike in the gallery and get a discount on the next order. Somebody actually noticed them this summer when I stopped for a break at Chinook Pass (WA). The quality of the emachineshop work make the other custom rack builders look brutish.
