Hello all,

I spend a good deal of time answering questions via email, but this one I was
unsure of. Could one of my fellow robotics experts be helpful with this
question, many thanks!

Q:

"I HAVE JUST BOUGHT THE MINDSTORM 2.0 (sorry for the shouting :-)) and
I am a Mac freak. I have Virtual Pc but am having problems with it. I
wonder if you can put me in contact with someone who runs Mindstorm
with a Mac ,maybe with NQC who could get me going please,
Mac"

A: {posting on the robotics group}

Any help would be great. Perhaps others could use this info as well.
Someone with knowledge on this subject, let us know!

THANK YOU!
