So if you choose to try to do the course using a MAC, neither the instructor nor the lab technicians will provide technical support. Some students have had success running the software on a MAC using a Windows emulator, though many students have not had success using a MAC for this course. You must have a PC in order to do this course. NOTE to MAC Users: There is no MAC version of the software. NOTE: You CANNOT USE A SMARTPHONE to do this class. If you want to work at Northridge, you will need to see the lab techs in Room 3213 to get a user name and password.
