    Default How To Use A Mac To View Si Recordings?

    Is anybody using a Mac computer to playback SI recordings? I have been on different sites and I still haven't found a way to do this. It sucks to have this technology and unable to use it the way you want. Please share what you do in simple detail. This dummy needs help!

    Thanks;

    Barry

    I have xp installed and tried to view through humviewer, a window comes up asking which window program to use or something like that and none have worked. But, I don't know squat about this stuff on the computer. Just a dummy trying to learn. lol

    look for linux software that will display/play the SI content. The recent MAC OS is just a modified version of free BSD or one of the other variants of Linux. Regardless linux compatible software will run on MAC.

    Buy a cheap PC. Mac is ONLY good for graphic editing programs, useless for everything else.
