Hello hello,

Well, i am new to this site, so here goes. I am going to soon make the move from PC to brand spanky new Mac. A designers dream. Is there a cheap/easy way to transfer my programs to my new Mac? I have heard about a really expensive disk you cant get...?

Cheers for any ideas,
J9

Hi J9,

This may be more appropriate in the "Other Operating Systems" forum, but here goes.
Data can be moved from Windows to Mac, but programs are a different story. Mac, as I'm sure you know, is much different than a PC. There are a number of different emulators (Darwine comes to mind, but it could just be for "hackintoshes") that you can use to run Windows programs on a Mac, but don't expect full/reliable function from those programs.
