Running Newton 2 on my MAC

I'm currently(maybe temporarily) on Mini mac 10.4.2. I want to start using Newton 2 and try it out but I'm kinda clueless on what emulators to use or use bootcamp, I don't wanna pay for anything though. Any suggestions?

Get a PC.

I'm not wasting my money on a PC. I got this for free. This is not a PC topic, so please do not discuss them here.

Get Windows 7.

yeah put widows on your mac. If you still have the OS discs for a Windows OS, then put that on your mac and download newton

It's my mom's work computer, I don't want to love it up lol

You want to love everything up literally. What makes this any different?

What makes you think you're going to love anything up? Download some virtual machine software, install Windows, and BAM you can run Newton2. I run VMWare Fusion with a Windows 7 and a Windows XP virtual machine. I have Newton2, Inventor, 3dsMax, and Autocad running on them. They run beautifully. Nothings love up. It makes my roommate jealous, and he's a PC fanboy. Plus, it's really easy to set up.

VMWare Fusion is probably the best VM ware for the Mac, but it's not free. Virtual Box is also a good virtual machine and it's free. You can also get XP pretty cheap or if you don't try to verify it you can use any old cd. You just wan to make sure it's a version of XP with SP1 included.

Sadly..... I'm clueless when it comes to computer stuff like this. I don't know how to install windows on my computer. Should I use bootcamp?

sucks for you

If it someone else's work machine you might not want to bootcamp it, especially if you're not really comfortable with computers. VM ware is safer.

The VM ware we listed comes with help files and instructions on how to install different operating systems with them. They're not that hard. Usually you just tell the software to create a new virtual machine and what operating system you want on it and it will create the file and then prompt you on how to go about installing the OS.
