    Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I just acquired myself an apple laptop. So I was wondering if there is any way I can run AU on my mac?

    Yep, well, I think you do. From what i've read about the topic, you'll need some sort of virtual desktop that is able to execute .exe files

    My mac's my lil' baby too. But ever since I got a mac, my neo cheating became non-existant except for some Java igloo ABer

    If you don't want to use Parallels or a virtual PC, you can always get a copy of Windows and use BootCamp. But in general, I would suggest a dual boot with Linux and Windows - on a custom built PC that costs much less $$ ;).

    That doesn't sound like the baby Freja is looking for...that sounds like a ... genetically enhanced robot unicorn or something.

    Psh, I just decided to get back into cheating :p
    I guess I can just use my old laptop to do it, it's pretty complicated to have to run two computers just for that xD But thanks for the feedback =)
