Although I don't use a Mac, I do have Virtual Box to run Windows XP so that I can use my trusty old HP scanner. I downloaded a free ISO image of Windows XP and used that for the install. It was a bit of a pain to set up as I didn't really know what I was doing, but I soon got the hang of it with a lot of help from Google & others and it works a treat!

Good point Mike, I was just using that as an example for using Virtualbox. Presumably you'd need Windows 7 or upwards on there to run FH V6.
