This is the Windows forum for BB. So I'm assuming that you have the Windows version of Band-in-a-Box, and are wondering if you can run it on a Mac Mini.

Macs can run Windows, but only if you install Windows on them. To do this, you
1. Run the BootCamp program that comes with every Mac. This partitions your hard drive into a Mac parition and a Windows partition.

2. Buy a retail copy of Windows 7 (about $189 http://www.walmart.com/ip/Microsoft-Windows-7-Home-Premium-Full-PC/11331571 ) and install Windows 7 on the BootCamp Windows partition.

3. You can then run Band-in-a-Box For Windows on your MacMini. It will run as well as it does on Windows.

With this setup, you'd need to reboot the MacMini when you want to switch between Windows and Mac. If you didn't want to reboot when you switch OS's, you can install an additional program ( http://www.parallels.com/ ) which allows windows programs to run at the same time as Mac programs run (you still need to buy and install Windows though)

Have Fun!
