No the Sim isn't made for the Mac unless you use Bootcamp.
Office is made for it but not the same office that we use on a PC.

Your answer was better than mine, I was going to tell him to dial 1 800 MARINES and they would teach him all about it.

Ha ha, funny. Bootcamp lets you start up in windows or Mac OS X 10.5 on a mac. And any mac operating system it is compatable with... If you have an Intel procceser. My mac, the computer I am using right now, has a PowerPC G4 procceser. If it had an Intel procceser... FS, here I come! Right now I am limited to playing it on my PC in the basement.
