Speech therapy on your Macintosh...

All Bungalow programs will run on a Windows PC.  If you have a Macintosh, there are several options describe below.

One Bungalow Software program will run on both Windows and older Macintosh (O/S 8 and 9) :  Speech Sounds On Cue.

All other Bungalow programs run on Microsoft Windows.  You can also run them on your Macintosh, using VirtualPC if you have that installed (if you don't have Virtual PC installed already, we recommend buying an inexpensive used laptop instead.)

Virtual PC for the Macintosh

Virtual PC is available through several  companies and cost about $200 the last time we checked (8/2007):

• Mac Connection  
  1-888-213-0260
• Club Mac       [direct link to Virtual PC page]
  1-800-217-9153
• Mac Warehouse
  1-800-397-8508

We do not have the resources to provide support for Virtual PC or for the Macintosh. So for most users,  we recommend getting a used Windows Laptop instead of Virtual PC. It'll cost about the same but give you an extra computer (so the patient isn't hogging your Macintosh) and we can provide better tech support for our programs.

Economical Used Windows Laptop

We found the following company with low prices and a good reputation:
 

http://www.usedlaptops.com   1-800-642-6094, 9-5 PM Pacific

As of 5/2/07 they were a member in good standing with the Better Business Bureau. We have had at least one customer buy a laptop from them and have heard no complaints.

They provide a 90 warranty on their laptops.
They usually have laptops for under $300 plus $20 S & H.
 

Computer Requirements

Short Answer:

Most Windows PC computers made since 1998 will run our programs. If you're not sure, try them out with our trial CD.  Trials are identical to the full version, only time limited.  So if the trial works, so will the full program.  You can also buy programs with our Money Back Guarantee. 

Detailed Answer (for computer geeks)

• Windows 95 or higher required, Windows 2000 or above recommended.

  That means Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, XP, or Vista. 
  If your computer has a Start button in the lower left comer, you've got one of those versions. There are several options for your Macintosh.

• Sound Card

  If  your PC ever plays music (even  just at start up) it has a sound card.  If it has external speakers, it probably has a sound card.  Speakers plug into the sound card.

• CD-ROM drive

• Microphone

  Required only for programs that record speech (Sights'n Sounds, Numbers'n Sounds, and SpeechPrism) These are inexpensive. We sell them for $9.50.

• Screen that can display 256 or more colors.
• 20 MB Hard Drive space per program
