How about running a virtual machine? The question is can the hardware support the virtual machines?<BR>
<BR>
I used to run OS X on VMWare on XP at XM for developmental work. I basically ran anything I wanted to on VMWare...so I can't imagine that your<BR>
friend couldn't run that on XP and load OS X. <BR>
<BR>
But why go to all that trouble? Surely there must be a most excellent Linux program that will do what he wants. This is what I teach people: unlearn thinking in terms of proprietary software and tools and start thinking about FLOSS replacements instead. Once they do that they are MUCH happier and truly appreciate the power of FLOSS systems!<BR>

a friend of mine saw my sig, and asked a question, that I have no answer
for... Anyone??
By the way I see you are a Linux user. Does that mean that is you only
OS. I am using a MAC and I wish I could afford to buy a new Mac laptop.
The Mac Laptop is very expensive.
Question?
Can I take my present Microsoft laptop (old) and put a Linux OS on it
and run MAC applications like "IBANK"?
