I'm in the same boat.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Crossover is another to try. Dont know what developments have taken place with Parallels since I last checked but
Crossover is less processor and memory intensive than having to run a "virtual machine" like Parallels.

Check this out:

It is now a commercial app, but you can use it for free with any design that has less than 700 pins (according to the site). Haven't gotten around to really trying it yet, but it seems to have most of what you need to do PCB dev (Gerber and drill file output, etc).

i tried crossover and parallels and crossover gave me errors and didn't work , but it works great under parallels!

the tone stack calculator works great under crossover just to let ya know

Remember that OS X can run X11, so pop in your OS X install DVD, install X11, then you can run Eagle.

i found out that my dads wife has Parallels so i think i'll try that. i downloaded the free trial Crossover thingy but, couldn't figure it out so i got rid of it. most of my computer knowledge has come from kicking the hell out of the computer that i was trying to fix. we should probably get a sticky going with a list of programs for the different systems.

I use the DIY layout program with Parallels. Works perfectly.
