Lynn, have you thought about using EQ5 on your Mac via an emulator? If
you have an "older" Mac, Virtual PC will do the trick for you, as it
does for me. If you have one of the new Intel Macs, you'll probably want
to try Parallels. :)

Hi Sandy,
I do run it with Virtual PC from time to time, but it's kind of slow
and I find myself hesitant to go through the rigamarole of opening it
(silly, because it's no more than a minute delay I'm sure, but that's
the truth). I suppose it also annoys me to emulate the system that I
didn't want in the first place! :) But, you're right, it does at least
allow me to use it. I keep thinking about buying QuiltPro, mostly just
because I feel like I want to reward them for mking a Mac version.
Thanks for the tip about the Intel Macs...hmm, perhaps my ibook needs a
trade-in!

LOL! I have an iBook, too. Very reliable, very easy to use -- but I'd
love to update to an Intel Mac, though it's not in the cards at the
moment. As for VPC, which version of Windows are you using? I was using
'98 for a long time, but I've noticed that with VPC 7 and Win2000,
things have gotten noticeably faster. :)

Oops! Forgot to tell you that I also have QP -- I've had that longer
than I've had EQ5, simply because it runs natively on the Mac. I like it
just as much as EQ5, because they both approach designing in different
ways. Sometimes it's better to use QP, sometimes EQ5.

Does she know about the Directory? Perhaps she can at least get to the form
to fill it in if she so desires.
