Just got a new MAC. Tried Bridge Baron 20 fro the MAC. It sometime would quit with a error. The last time it crashed my system. System back up and returned software. I'm just looking for a simple program like Bridge Manager (PC).

Thanks
:)

Mac is not an acronym (MAC), it's short for Macintosh. :-)

I'm surprised BB20 for the Mac is that unstable. The program's been around long enough I'd have thought they'd ironed all that out by now. :)

Unfortunately, I don't know of any other bridge software that has a Mac version.

i suspect the PC versions should run just fine under Parallels or Fusion, maybe even under Wine.

Yes it is: "Machine Always Crashes"
Another possibility: "Most Amazing Computer"

There's a big difference... :o

I would like to see Deep Finesse for Mac (and I don't mean running on virtual windows either)

Heh. The latter is closer to the truth than the former, though I wouldn't claim either is true.

I've had both Macs and PCs, the latter running both Windows and Linux, ever since about 1983 (before that I had an Apple II). The Windows boxes have been far more prone to crashes than either the same box running Linux or any Mac.
