can a mac do this ?

I run EUAE on my Intel Mac Mini. It can do it but, as has been mentioned, it is not as good as WinUAE. There's a lot of software for creative people on the Mac but they all have a price.

SamuraiCrow is right. Here is my take:
 
I ran different versions of UAE on different Macs. It worked fine. However the framerate and sound delay was significantly higher than on Windows XP on the same machine (with the intel Mac). But good enough for many games and all applications. There is a configuration tool called HiTorro that will give you basically the same options as WinUAE but has some quirks with the handling of multiple configuration files. UAE on the Mac runs stable and works well with the HFS+ filesystem, if you are using it instead of a HD-file.
 
Mac OS X used to be more open when it first arrived in 2000. It still has a lot of the UNIX DNA it came with. Apps have become significantly cheaper, but it has become quite patronizing lately, which made me use the mac less and less during the last two years.

In regard to Moviesetter animations.  Hollywood (the programming language) recently introduced support for Moviesetter animation playback - myself or any developer that owns Hollywood could create you a simple player in a heartbeat.

OS X is just smooth, it just works, iOS and OS X devices just communicate with each other to print, share files, share video, etc.  Everything is interconnected.  There's a polished feel.  Compare that to Windows 8, where you get this guy interface where everything get's a box no matter how insignificant it is and there's this jarring desktop that pops up when you run non-metro programs.  Not that you can actually do anything with the desktop, mind you, except drop some shortcuts, but it's still there.  The whole thing feels unwieldily.

Bit off topic, but I've always been of the opinion that popular OSs should have two interfaces one for the advanced user and one for the general public. I guess metro will be the start of that for MS

Advise not to buy a computer for a pending sfw release.

Hi,

@Iggy,

of course not,

You own a PC, and from what I see, a pretty modern one. With a pretty darn good graphics card, but come one "Windows Vista". That went out with the G4 MAC you are using, as a matter of fact if I had my druther's I would druther the G4 MAC.
Hey type in Windows 8 download on your search engine and give it a whirl, I took Windows Vista off my machine and totally use it now. Much better. Hope you know how to burn an ISO. If you don't give me a call, I will help you out.

But the Mac OS can start Wondows from within OSX, right? At least it could do it before (and that was kind of cool).

I almost made the loony decision of getting a Mac and then just to install Windows on because for a brief 2-3 month period the Intel C2D 64bit Mac had the most powerful GPU of any laptop in the world. Normal service soon resumed with Dell XPS 17" range wiping the floor with everyone (as usual) on GPU features on a laptop.
