    Newer Macs

    should be able to run most PC programs.  Try using Bootcamp, or you may need to buy a PC emulator.



    If you have an Apple store near you stop in.  They are great at explaining how to make it work.

    But you need to buy Windows

    Even though Macs can run Windows, they don't come with Windows. You'll need to buy a Windows CD. If you know anyone who is a student or a teacher, you might be able to get a copy of the CD for 90% off.



    Maybe there's a calculator written in Java or something that would work for free on the Mac.

    Windows not always necessary

    I run HVAC-Calc for Windows on my (Intel) Mac using a helper application called Crossover

    http://www.codeweavers.com/products/

    ($40 - I believe there is a free trial period)

    many 'Windows' applications really don't need all the baggage of Windows, and will run fine in open source emulators based on 'Wine'.

    I had some difficulty getting Wine set up, so the $40 to Codeweavers was well worth it.

    YMMV - good luck!
