My company will only support PCs with its internal internet. I have an iBook G4 and need to do some training at home and don't want to sit at work to do it. I have heard of an "Emulator" that will allow me to work on PC items using a Mac, has anyone heard of this before? Thanks for any advice, other than buying a MacBook or MacBook Pro.:confused:
 
If you're talking about Parallels, then I'm sorry to say but it does need an Intel Mac.

how, exactly, are they stopping the Intel Macs?
 
The software emulator you referred to is called Virtual PC. It is not cheap, but you can probably buy a used copy off ebay. However, it is ssssloooow. I used it on a G4 Powerbook 1.5GHz before, and it was like using a Pentium II computer. So I don't recommend it.

Parallel or Fusion with Macbook is a lot more feasible.

When I try to get on to the training program a window pops up "Internet Explorer 6.0 required" and close all blockers.

Open Safari
go to Preferences
Click on Advanced Tab
Check "Show Develop..."
Click on Develop in Menu Bar
User Agent > Internet Explorer 6.0

Try it.
