I would love to use all of the value-added software that comes with my NX60 but many of the apps (Documents To Go) can only be installed using a PC .exe program (i know, that's redundant).

Any thoughts? Suggestions? TIA

Any thoughts? Suggestions? TIA first, you would get better answers by asking this question in the clie-mac section.

second, to use dtg you need to upgrade to the professional mac version. this will get you the version that syncs the ms office files (no amount of work will make the version you have on the sony cd work on a mac setup).

as for other VA software you can simply run the install programs on a buddy's windoze machine and then find the .prc and .prb files that are put in some arcane folder on the c: drive. email them as attachments to you and save them on your mac. double click on them and install them on the clie. one small problem: if the programs depend on syncing you will need to go the the web site of the program and see if there is a mac version. i believe the programs on the cd that need syncing are probably win-dohs only.

Good point. But thank you for answering my question!
