All my "Genie" software requires a Windows Operating System.
Thus, Ideas Genie and the others will not run on the native MAC OS.
However, they (and other Windows programs) can run under a system called Parallels on a MAC.
Info here:

Have you now switched to MAC?

Ah, I see. Thanks for doing that good promotional work Eric!
I wonder if they would consider using Parallels?

Ask him or her to join the forum. No MAC problems here :D

I had an email enquiry from a lady by name of Jane, and I replied explaining how Parallels were required to use my software on a Mac. She kindly replied to say she would check it out.

Mitch from Canada is using Ideas Genie Pro on his Mac. Here's what he wrote in an email to me:

With improvements to the Mac virtualization software, I have no problems running any Windows program on our MacPro through Parallels.
Thanks again Eric!
