A few tips for Mac users...

Dear fellow Mac types, a few things to make your life easier:

1. Use UnRarX or RAR Expander for RAR files.
2. DO NOT use Stuffit for RAR files, ever! It's OK on ZIPs, but even then, be careful.
3. Often keygens will be Windows files. They must be run in Parallels or Fusion or CrossOver on Intel Macs, Virtual PC on PPC Macs, or on an actual PC.
4. Read the .nfo file! Here's a great OS X program to read .nfo files: NFO Viewer
5. Ask for help before shouting that something doesn't work.
6. Enjoy life!

Crossover is the easiest as you don't require an installation of Doze (and all the time required to do such things as Partioning, burning a copy, i mean buying a copy of XP, 7 or ??? and then all/any problemns that nmay come with that).
If keygens are your only requirement of windows or you just want to get on with it right now go for Crossover (essentially it is as 'cider' is for games, Crossover is (wine) for applications but 'on the fly' aka a wrapper.)
NB - Intel only.
