Requirements Update
Intel®-based Macintosh® Support

October 10, 2006

Support Positions
PLATO® Learning courseware utilizes third-party plug-ins such as Flash®, Shockwave®, and Authorware® that are distributed and maintained by Adobe®. Because not all of Adobe's plug-ins run natively on Intel-based Macintosh computers, PLATO Learning requires customers using Intel-based Mac computers to run our courseware with Rosetta® enabled.

Additionally, a number of classic PLATO Learning products do not operate on the Intel-based Mac in Rosetta mode, specifically original PCD3 and MPAS courseware. Therefore, we have restricted support for those products and solutions to Mac computers with G4 and G5 processors.

A summary of support positions is outlined below:

Solution PLE PWLN CH-PWLN
Straight Curve™ Mathematics Series Supported Supported Not Available
Libraries, Collections, Sets Supported Supported Not Available
Lettered Packages (e.g., Package N) Not Available Not Supported* Not Supported*
*Lettered Packages will continue to be supported with Mac G4 and G5 (PowerPC) processors.

PLATO Learning will continue to support our products running in Rosetta mode on the Intel-based Mac as long as Apple® is actively supporting Rosetta.

For instructions to enable Rosetta for Macs running OSX 4.6 or OSX 4.7 with Safari™ 2.0.3 or 2.0.4 search our Knowledge Base using keyword Rosetta.
