ETKA on Mac

Not necesarily. My friend Tim Mcevoy runs his ETKA on Yellow Dog Linux on a 
mac, within VMWare, emulating an Intel x86, running WINE.

See above.

I thought a general discussion was better for the people who dont' know the 
difference between an emulator and a "program that maps APIs"..Wasn't looking 
to geek-out here, obvjously, I'm the only one.

I swear, it's like peeing on a hydrant sometimes....
