I just brought me a new apple mac and I can't find any trading platform that will work with my mac. The only way I see possible for any platform to work with it, is to purchase a software call virtual pc. Should I just purchase that or do anyone know a platform that will work for me?

I use InvestorRT from www.linnsoft.com They produce their real time software in both Windows and Mac. They are good people and have a nice community of users. The software is solid on my OSX Panther. There aren't many choices for us Mac users for trading software. If you do end up trying Virtual PC with the Windows programs, let me (us) know how it goes. I've wondered about whether it would work well, given the fact that Virtual PC isn't very fast. It could slow the data down too much. But, like I said, I haven't tried it. Give IRT a try. It's very good. jd
Very happy you guys made the program cross platform with Java. I use the combo of the IB TWS and AutoTrader on my Mac. Works well. jd
