You handled that well. I was expecting far worse ;\)

I've had some experience...

I'm not saying the Boot Camp isn't a valid alternative (although he'd have to buy a Windows license, technically), but it simply cannot be called software for a Mac if you have to use Windows to run it.

So, Boot Camp really isn't going to help me then? I'm not trying to be funny, I really don't know. That's why I bought a Mac--so I don't have to think so much.

Boot Camp will help you if you're willing to buy Leopard and a copy of Windows.

You're in luck! Instead of continuing to fly blindly, I googled Room EQ Wizard and it's actually available as a Java program, which will run just fine on your Mac. Go to this page on the Home Theater Shack (you'll need to be registered) and download the wizardjarv4.00.zip version. Then just unzip and double-click the RoomEQ_Wizard_obf.jar file.

Boot Camp allows you to run Windows on your Mac, assuming it is a relatively recent one with an Intel processor. Running Windows allows you to access all the same software as any other PC.

Boot Camp may be "pure evil" in the eyes of long-time Mac owners, but it seems to have allowed Apple to attract a whole new group of users who always loved their design but were either afraid to move away from PCs or needed to use some specific program they couldn't get on the Mac.

I was sort of joking but only in the sense that there is probably a less drastic solution.

Oh, not pure evil by any means. Just not particularly convenient.

That said, I'd love to have a Mac with Boot Camp on it.

Very cool! Thanks for the link, Peter.

Of course this has to be the night my internet connection is going wonky. On top of that, it seems Axiom's server is having issues, too. I may have to wait until I can activate my account tomorrow. Had to use my work email.

More waiting. . .

I can't wait to try this out!
