I'm ddicted to Corel but alas not with my apple mac arghh!!!!!!! Why and When?
Please please please - I've moved from PC to Mac after 15 years intensively using it daily on a PC.
I use CDX3 on a PC at work but am unable to use it at all at home! I was forced to buy some Adobe Indesign & AI stuff but AI just does not cut it!
Please will Corel move back to us Apple users? if not how can i use X3? on my intel imac (without soiling it with windows)
I'd pay double for Corel on the mac!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone concur?
Jules.
Hey now Jules,
soiling it with Windows? Windows 7 is brilliant; it is extremely stable, functional and reliable!
Best regards,Brian.

Also you can use VMware for this

Corel NEVER release a native Mac version
FosterCoburn said:that was a very poorly received port
... because don't work fine. I'm user and fan of CorelDRAW, but it was almost impossible to use CorelDRAW 11 under Mac in the same way that you use it under Windows. It was the same program, but doesn't work in the same way. If somebody like me, who loves CorelDRAW and use it everyday, ends to hate v.11 for Mac, can you imagine a simple user that try the program. If Corel think on launch other version like 11.0 for Mac, the best idea is not waste time and money. If some day Corel creates a nrçew release for Mac, it must be a NATIVE Mac version.
FosterCoburn said:I seriously doubt they will release a Mac version in the future.
Unfortunately, Mac is a small marketplace (less than 5%, according with Apple) and is not profitable to spend time and money on develop a new version. But, since a special marketplace for designrs, I hope to see very soon a new and powerful Mac version, perhaps with the native 64-bits for Windows
Thanks All for your comments but it's much as i feared.It would seem to only way to continue using Corel is to purchase a Cheap PC.I have used Corel Software for 15 years in the same design role - moving employment will mean they're looking for Adobe (mac) experience.
I can use the basic tools in ID and AI but it's a big relearning curve.
AI and ID it would take me one hour to do something i can do in Corel in 15mins.As you can appreciate after 15 years, I can be much more creative with Corel as I can do it with my eyes closed - but there's little market place (in the UK) for Corel experience...
Is this what you find?
Where can i peddle my design for print (and stuff) Corel experience?
Yours a fellow Corel Adict.
