In another thread, Dennis & Max were wondering about getting "Tobar na Gaedhilge" running on a Mac. I had mentioned that I'd done it previously using Virtual PC & Windows 98 and that it seemed to work fine at that point.

I'm happy to report that it still works. Using Virtual PC 5 on MacOS9 or Virtual PC 7 on MacOSX and Windows XP as the OS, I successfully ran "Tobar na Gaedhilge" again today. Here are a couple of screen captures:

As you might imagine, running an OS on top of an OS slows things down considerably, but if you're a Mac user and really want to get some use from "Tobar na Gaedhilge", get yourself a copy of Virtual PC and you'll be able to do so.

The "Tobar na Gaedhilge" software is available here:
