Instructions for installing WIS on MAC
Any MAC users here that bought the Ebay WIS on thumbdrive?
This worked great on my PC a few years back and I had no problems with unzipping/loading the program but on this MAC I've got no instructions.
I've contacted the seller but they only answer in short, one or two words. Never giving a full instruction and the directions they do give never work and this has been going on for two or three months now.
Anyone? Thanks!

Virtual box does not yet support windows arm, so there is no way to run the WIS on a mac arm series. Picking up a low cost windows laptop is your best solution (ebay used can be a decent deal) - might also want to check any local computer repair stores, they may have older laptops for very low cost. All you need is something that can run virtual box and give it 2gig of memory so just about any laptop that is in the 10 year old range will have no issues.
