thanks everyone for answering all my questions. who knows what the future will bring, right? i may add another computer someday, downstairs where my workroom is, and that would be windows.
Parallels (which will run Windows on the Mac and is supported by EQ) is $79.99 from parallels, and you can get it a lot cheaper from ebay, especially if you buy a used version. It is possible to get EQ6 at 10% off, but list is about $150. So, I figure $230 would be an upper bound to get EQ6 running on your Mac. However it doesn't seem that you really need EQ if you are happy with the way you are doing things. We all find different tools to help us.
BTW, another thing I do with EQ6 is make my quilt labels. And Geta uses it to make the patterns for her wonderful shadow trapunto. It is really very versatile.
