Will Parallels work to run the Windows software on Mac, or do you need full blown OS?

So can you use a Windows virtual machine (through something like VMware Fusion)? Bootcamp would work, but VMware Fusion might allow OP to use the software "within" the OSX side without having to reboot into Windows.

Although by this time you would be investing in both Fusion and a Windows license and it may be better to just buy a cheap laptop as mentioned by another poster earlier.

Bootcamp is probably the route I will go.

I am sure it would also work installing windows using parallels or vmware.

I've been racking my brain trying to figure out a clean way to support all this egg crate and I finally came up with a solution.

I got some black acrylic rods, cut them to size and added some groves on one end so that I could slip it into the squares. I added 9 rods per section (2ftx2ft) was the perfect amount to support the sheet.
