RowPro is not Mac compatible. Does anyone know of any programs that are? Thanks.

I too would like to know what the options are. Just got a used Model D with PM4. I am a Mac user.
I find it odd that in this day and age with Apple being so popular no one has tackled re-creating the software so it works on both platforms. :?

RowPro V4.0 runs on a Mac using bootcamp or parallels.

Mac has a small market share compared to a PC and also those that are really keen on Running RowPro would just have bought a PC by now to run it on.

Looks like the RowPro software will be available on the Mac soon...no date given, but maybe later this year?

I have been Mac since 1995 so just jumping on buying an old PC/Windows machine to try out the software is a bit daunting, and pricey. That said, a friend of mine lent me their Windows 7 disc (so I can try before buying), downloaded a VM Fusion trial, and downloaded the RowPro trial. I have only run the RowPro software so far in demo mode (at work, erg at home) but so far it looks like it works, and looks pretty cool! If it continues to function ok on the Mac I'll just shell out the funds to stay on my beloved computer rather than getting yet another computer (I already have 2 Macs, one personal, one for work, lol).

Fingers crossed!

I'm probably too late for this discussion but I'm about to experiment with running VirtualBox on my Macbook Pro. VirtualBox is a free virtualization environment. You'll still need to buy a Windows license. I bought an OEM license on Amazon. It's cheaper than a regular license but supposedly you can't move it from one computer to another.
