castle link and mac?
 
Any chance the updating and programming will be apple friendly anytime soon?

Highly doubtful. Too time consuming and the expense is usually not worth it. Mac users are roughly 3% of the computer market. Now take mac users using Castle products and you are probably talking less than 1% of their customers.

Use Boot Camp and install a Windows partition, or run a virtual machine software like Parallels or VMware. Personally I prefer Boot Camp and running Windows natively on its own partition, but that's because I mainly use it for games, the virtual machine would be OK for just using Castlelink, and you wouldn't have to reboot the system each time you wanted to switch between OS X and Windows.

Try VMware fusion. I'm sure you can get it for "free" :p

I use VMWare fusion without issue. Gotta love booting up into XP inside OSX.

I would definitely take the emulation route if I was only using Windows for CastleLink and other simple programs, but since I like to play games running Windows natively with Boot Camp is pretty much a necessity.

I'm a mac user and would love a mac version, even know I know the difficulties. So I guess were at about 2% mac users here on RC Monster now?

I love my Mac for daily use. I needed Windows to run my CAD programs and my employers proprietary design software. Boot Camp is what I use.

I wish they had a mac friendly Castl link as well! I'm currently stuck using a field link card. I can't wait to get a netbook and be able to fine tune everything again. I'm torn between getting the Traxxas Titan boat or a netbook, amongst the many thngs I want to do to my new 1:1 truck

+1. I'd love a Mac version. I hate having to run Fusion.
