Simply Budgets and Apple Macs.

There are now many people purchasing Apple Mac computers where in the past the majority of computers were of the IBM format.

Simply Budgets was originally developed for IBM computers only, however with the new operating systems installed on Mac computers it is now possible to install and run Simply Budgets using some inexpensive 'emulation' software.

There are a number of 'emulation' applications available. 'Virtual PC' and 'Parallels' will allow you to run Simply Budgets on a Mac.

The following relates to the use of 'Parallels' and was sent to me by a customer who is using Simply Budgets on his Mac:-

David, I am using Simply Budgets on my Mac using Parallels for Desktop

I am running Build 3186 and following are the system requirements:

A Macintosh computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core Duo or Core Solo

Mac OS X 10.4.6 or higher

768 MB of RAM (1 GB recommended) - (I have 2 gig)

40.5 MB of free hard disk space for Parallels Desktop and 15 GB
(recommended) space for each virtual machine

A full (not OEM) version of the operating system you wish to install (XP not
Vista)

I am running it successfully......at least as successfully as you can run XP! :-)

This information should enable you to make an informed decision as to whether you can run Simply Budgets on your Macintosh computer or not.
