Party Software for Mac?

[Bad Beat Coming]

Apparently party has no Mac software. Anyone go through some other site that mirrors party on a mac? Any other ideas if I (otherwise) want to buy an Apple? Thanks in advance.

I posted a mac survey a while back and got no responses. I'd love to know how virtual pc is working out for everyone, and how much hard drive space it takes, etc.

Virtual PC seems to get good reviews (check out this one from Macworld.)

Here are the system requirements from Microsoft:

You can buy it from Microsoft here, although I am sure there are other* ways to procure it.

For the price of VirtualPC, you could probably buy a used PC. I'm a Mac guy too, but I got a Dell P4 1.6 with a 21" Sony monitor for $140 off of Craigslist. Much better than going with Ebay, because you can check it out before you buy. Also, it's such a buyer's market for used PCs that you can negotiate a very reasonable price. If you have the space for an extra system, I'd go used.

I use VirtualPC on a G4 PowerBook. It's slow, but it's playable.

At home, I play on my laptop using remote desktop client connected to a real pc, or I play on a PC directly.
