Encore Pro Software and the .Mac

[Julie]

Hi, I found out that the software isn't compatible with Macs, so I can't download it (website or no website!) - anyone else know something I don't? Mac users are such 2nd class citizens out here, and it's getting old!

Julie, I found this old thread discussing the Mac issue. It starts out discussing the SilverLining software for the PB machines, then goes to a question about Encore Pro for the Respironics machines. It doesn't sound too promising, but here's the link:

Anybody using Silverlining on a Macintosh?

Dog-gone I can't get it to work on my Commodore 64 either, and they sold many machines.

I think (haven't tried it myself) you could install Virtual PC, then load XP in the virtual then install the software you want in the virtual.

Thanks for quick replies - I put in Virtual PC last year, but took it out pretty soon when it interfered with my so-good Mac experience (and getting back into the whole virus/antivirus thing was a nightmare I had been so glad to get away from with the Mac). I do have access to a couple of PC's, so will think about that route instead. Thanks a lot.

I am happily running the Encore Pro and MyEncore applications on my dual processor G5 using Virtual PC. I agree that it is sad to have to use Windows at all, which has always been a buggy, lame ripoff of the Mac OS, but at least we have the option to run both.
