Just a heads up..........
I use AE on my MacBook Pro Laptop (intel processor) but you need VMware Fusion to run Windoz.

It works perfectly.

The newer MacBooks use Intel processors, but if you have a PowerBook it has the older processor and can't run windows on it. What laptop do you have? Are you running Leopard?

It's a Mac Book and it's only six months old. So i'm pretty sure it is. I know it's not snow leopard. But will that even help me run the program without adding new software? And I was wondering how long does it usually take on shipping for the program. And does it have an upgrade for OBD. My Lexus is 95 but the snap on tool used the OBDII connector and wasn't sure if it would work on it?

Your Mac will work, but you will have to buy Windows to load on it. You can use Boot Camp to run it, or VMFusion, Parallels. Shipping is the same day you order it usually.

I used bootcamp on mine. I just split my hard drive into my main mac HD and a 10GB portion for windows to run on.

FYI.. if you are a college student then Microsoft will give you a copy of windows for free!
