Hi, everyone...

I have a question for the Mac folks...  I'm interested in exploring LEGO CAD,
but I don't want to have to buy a PC.

I thought that I might be able to go buy a copy of "Virtual PC" for my Mac and
try the various Windows CAD tools, like LDD or MLCad.  Has anyone tried this?
Does it work?

I don't want to go spend $150 (or whatever) on Virtual PC only to find out that
they don't work under the emulation.

Thanks!

Hi Sean,

I did the first Trainposter on a Rev B iMac running VPC. I did the building and
L3P converting under Windows and the rendering under MacOS.
Yes, it is tiresome build things under VPC (hey, I have an 233MHz G3!), but I
don't think you will find a better LDraw-program under MacOS.

Don't shoot me, I am a Mac-addict.
