Anybody have a good way to run SeeYou on a Apple Mac without

You need to have an Intel-based Mac or you will have pretty
unsatisfactory results - though I think it is possible. If you have an
Intel-based Mac there are basically two possibilities:
Run one of the WINE implementations that translates Windows OS calls
into Mac OS X equivalents. I have used Codeweavers Crossover:

It works pretty well for everything except 3D mode which is not
supported. I have not tested it extensively, but it works well enough
to play back a flight. They don't officially support SeeYou so you may
encounter occasional bugs, but my experience has been tolerable.
A more robust answer is to run Virtual Machine software (I use
Parallels, but there is also a product from VMWare):

In this case you will also need to obtain a copy of Windows (I run
Vista Home Basic, but lots of people run XP too). This is a more
expensive solution, but under $200 if you buy at the right places.
None of these approaches require a disk partition.
The third solution is to use Apple's BootCamp and load Windows to run
on the Mac's Intel hardware natively. This does require a partition
but supposedly has the benefit of running faster and more reliably
since there is no intermediate software translation layer. I tried it
for awhile but didn't notice a significant speed uptick at it lacks
the translation of Mac keyboard and trackpad shortcuts that the other
solutions have. Also the need to reboot to switch between Mac and
Window environments is a pain if you need to run both more or less at
the same time.
You might try Crossover first as there is a 30-day free trial. If you
feel you need more you can go the more sophisticated route of running
a VM implementation.
Good luck!
