Does Simba work on Mac? What about SMART? I have some spare time and would like to script again.. I've been gone for a bit because I sold my laptop and got an iMac for my birthday..

If there isn't anything for Mac, how do you guys think it would work with Wine? Thoughts?

Thanks!

My first and only thought would be to throw the mac away and buy a windows pc. that or just bootcamp windows 24/7.

Lol, I love my Mac.. Think bootcamp is the best? I still have windows 8/7

i dont like gaming on mac. but scripting is just the same if you use parallels desktop (virtual machine).

How well does this work? Ive got 32gb ram, one of the newer iMacs, would it run fine?

i got 8gb ram and split that into 2 (mac + windows) and its working good :)

Bootcamp and just use windows. Screw parallels and VMs.

yes bootcamp is better but you have to shut down your computer if you want to switch from windows to mac or mac to windows.

To elaborate, Bootcamp is running windows on its own, much like a standard windows computer
whereas parallels runs a windows VM along side mac.
