Apple computer

I was wondering if anyone uses ATX software running on an Apple computer. I know you can run Windows on an Apple so I was wondering if anyone has tried this and if it works OK. Any input would be appreciated. . .thanks

I know there are a couple of people who use Macs for their tax prep software on this board. I've only done a little. I use a Mac for my main "personal" computer and a PC for my "work" computer. During the off-season, my PC spends a lot of time in the safe. I recently took a trip where it was more convenient to only take one computer. I have Parallels on my MacBook and loaded 2008 & 2009 ATX on it. When I used it, it was extremely slow. For example, when I realized I hadn't "printed" (to .pdf) part of a file I needed -- I rebooted Parallels & started ATX, opened file, and re-"printed," closed ATX & Parallels. All that took just under an hour. When I got home I bought 8 Gig of Ram for the Mac (found a good sale) and now that same process only takes under 10 minutes.

I hope you get responses from the ones who use ATX on Macs regularly.

I've been using an iMac running windows via bootcamp since 2008, all windows based software that I have installed (ATX 2006 - 2010), Quickbooks 2005-2011 and Quicken have worked fine, however you are not safe from virus on the window side. Send me a PM if you have specific questions or need help setting it up.
