Virtual PC

That would have been a perfect place to launch and use something like Virtual PC to open the EXE. Not that you'd want to, but man that would really frost them.

EXEs can be opened with VPC. Heck a mac can open almost ANY program

Really? I would think a Windows "Virtual Mac" would be pretty similar in function to Virtual PC-- Mac apps and all.

I've heard PC people say there is an emulator that can do Mac, but I've never heard a product name, much less any specifics.

mac emulator

MAE: ran on Solaris, Macintosh Application Environment, emulated the 680x0 chips, so it kinda died with 7.5 So that's the last of the real mac emus. technical difficulty combined with lack of market means we will probably never see another. I mean really, how many people with macs would want a PC with a Mac emulator? And with X, it's no longer a stability concern to run MacOS on top of a unix layer, we're kinda doing that already way faster than we could emulate it.

There were some Windows ones too, but they all died with the 680x0 architecture, nothing has emulated a PPC mac.

Oh, MDLarson...

Jesus will bring Hotline, Yahoo!, and IE?!? Good God man! What are you thinking with that phrase and your icon so close together. Maybe you're suggesting what Dogbert once suggested, that God is really the combined intelligence of all creation when linked together through the internet!

I hope your not offended, I just keep seeing your sig and it strikes me as funny.

LOL, I'm not offended, but I think I'll change it (again) I want people to know I'm a Christian, but not sound like a dork at the same time (too late!).

Anyway, thanks for the info too.

Umm, you do get it, don't you? H for Hotline*, E for Explorer, and Y for Yahoo! Messenger*. What does it spell?!?!?

*Applications which I do not use. I only installed them to get the icons!
