    Anyone using Master Cam on a Mac computer

    I am tired of dealing PC's, and I was wondering if anyone is using Master Cam on a Mac with a windows simulator? And if it works well?

    Just out of interest, what does a windows simulator offer that a windows machine does not? It may work but I think the graphics will be a problem

    To run Mastercam it has to run on Windows, the best way is to run bootcamp so it actually uses the systems components direct instead emulating on top of the IOS.
    I have a Mac Pro that I using at time for Mastercam training works great.
    I also don't suggest running MC9 as it is 15 years old. X9 is the latest of the versions of Mastercam.

    I state again do not run Mastercam emulated, it dose not use computer resources as they should be used direct.
