[Hidden-tech] Converting from PC to iMac

[Jan Werner]

Presumably you mean TRS-DOS, an 8-bit OS that could run in 28K, not 
Microsoft's MS-DOS, a 16-bit OS which required a minimum of 64K to run 
in its earliest incarnation, some years later.

As to Quicken on your Mac, you can install VMware Fusion (or Parallels) 
and run your current version in a virtual Windows machine until you are 
satisfied with a replacement that can run in a native OS-X environment.
