If they were easier than Microsoft, it would be worth thinking about.

A quick look brings up one major option, but it's heavily loaded with advertising, so I'm not very keen to install it here, as it will make the site look untidy.
I will keep looking and report back

Have been toying with the idea of Macs for a couple of years, but neet to run a windows (access) based network application at work, and bring stuff home. So been a bit reluctant to start the learnig curve on setting up a Windows emulating Mac network.
Rainbow motorcycles BM bike dealer I know use one as the BMW dealer network system was still on DOS, they have since moved onto windows, but I don't want to take up too much of Shaun's time sussing out how he did it.

MVS... Microsoft have a product called Virtual PC that will allow you do to this... also the Mac will happily sit on the PC network too.
Office for the Mac will cover your Word, Excel etc etc and of course email is there too (which is handy).
