text: how do you run mac software on a pc (dell)?   first off, why would you want to?  macintosh software (if it doesn't have a pc version) will run only on a macintosh os, and macos's will only run on apple computers. the os is designed to specifically run on apple hardware.  there are macos emulators out there, but i don't think there are any legal ones out there (apple supported).  there can't be that many mac-specific programs that don't have a pc equivalent, but not being a mac person, i wouldn't know.
