[Equest-users] eQuest on Mac

[Patrick J. O'Leary, Jr.]

vmware isn't that much, $50 
(http://www.vmware.com//vmwarestore/fusion-for-mac) and you can access 
shared directories on your mac from within it.  and you don't have to 
reboot to use all your mac apps which is handy when your email, office 
suite, web browsers, and everything else except equest is mac.
