Re: st: Stata on Mac or PC

["Bunny, lautloscrew.com" <bunny@lautloscrew.com>]

Hi Stefano,

i used stata 10 SE on my  2 year old G4 powerbook, which worked well.  
Though i must admit i am pretty sure my applications and little  
scripts didn�t test stata to the heart, i can truly recommend it.
I do feel like it worked better than a lot of other applications that  
were not really meant to work on a mac back in their origin, such as  
microsoft office.
As of now, i have a new 4 GB Mac Book Pro running on Leopard. I haven 
�t installed Stata yet. The system is running very well, everytime i  
work with it, i wonder how anyone in the world can use windows by his/ 
her will. Especially since parallels is running well too for some  
windows applications that still dont run on a mac.

Get your mac book pro (with as much  RAM as possible) and be happy  
with the decision everyday or get windows vista and tons of updates  
and virus scanners - its your choice
