You can't run the ETKA or Bentley "eBahn" software on a Mac unless you
dual boot windows or run a virtual PC Windows session.

You can get into Linux or PC-BSD or something like that for a lot less
money if you're just sick of Windows.  Or you can pick up a used Mac
for little money, a G4 processor with enough RAM is still plenty
usable and runs OSX just fine.
