Re: When Available for Mac?

I believe that the plan is to get Pimlical directly on a Mac by sometime in 2011, but of course only CESD knows for sure.

Additionally, I would like to see if you could please clarify something, however, because I, too, expect to get my first Mac sometime in the future and I expect to run Pimlical on the Mac in a virtual environment (in order to give me the option of calendaring on a PalmOS handheld).

I of course understand what you wrote about processing power and battery life (even though those two concerns do not trouble me in the slightest because to this day I still do not believe that anyone has ever created a laptop that can actually be used when it is not plugged in), but what do you mean by the statement that running Windows in a virtual environment solely for Pimlical amounts to "overkill"?

The reason that I ask for this clarification is because I fully expect to purchase Parallels SOLELY for the use of Pimlical, so I am not sure why this would be overkill.


Thanks in advance for any clarification,

HyperScheduler
