Running Windows Programs on a Macintosh PC
By Tony Palmer

I now have a new Apple OS X 10.8.5 to replace my ailing old Microsoft
Windows.  Some said I wouldn't be able to transfer/download the
Spencer Chase E-System MIDI file onto an Apple.  Well, with help
from my Apple guru, I was able to do so and can now play the 500-roll
library on my 1920 Ampico grand piano.

I purchased a Microsoft Windows 7 OEM System Builder Pack ($199) and
put it into my Apple using Windows 7 under the Boot Camp multi-boot
utility.  Using Spencer's download disc on my Apple (his written
download instructions could have also been used) and then transferring
the library with a flash drive, I now have the library and virtual
keyboard playable on the new computer.
