Software not Mac compatible
William Brillinger:
I don't see minimum requirements anywhere either. I check the website, the manual and the FAQ.
This is all I find:
--- Quote ---Is your software to get pictures, sounds, etc, from the internet compatible with Microsoft Windows?
YES. Our software can run on Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 2000.
Is your software to get pictures, sounds, etc, from the internet compatible with Macintosh?
No. We currently do not have Macintosh compatible software. We have some Mac users that use bootcamp or parallels to run our PC software. We know there are some Mac users and at some point we may provide Mac compatible software. Our newest software was written from the ground up to be multiple platform friendly. So the software we plan to release soon will be easier to make Mac compatible than our older program.

Charles, I'd be very surprised if there is a machine that can't handle running the Railpro Assistant software. It is not graphics or processor intensive at all. Basically just a simple program but at this point written to work only with Windows. If the used computer you buy can turn on and connect to the internet, then it will work fine for Railpro.

I have a MacBook Pro and run Parallels on it which allows me to run Windows XP. I have a number of Windows programs that I run there and they work just fine. So, that is an easy way to run the RP software.
Or as others suggested, get an old Windows machine and go that route. Only problem is they are old for a reason and will probably require maintenance. I recommend the Parallels route.

I've never run Windows in parallel on a Mac, but will need to for Railpro, how do I go about doing that? What software do you use?
Thanks,
