Astrological Meanderings: March 2025

CrossOver

Wow, over one year since my last post that was also my only post of 2024. Recently I spent some time trying to get various free software programs to run Astrolog on my M1 Macbook Air. None of them worked. Finally I tried a trial version of CrossOver and I got Astrolog working perfectly.


The only problem is that it costs $64 USD to purchase which is expensive considering that I really only need to run Astrolog and no other Windows programs. Furthermore, you only get upgrades for one year following your purchase and after that any upgrades will cost you money. I'm not sure how much but, given that it is only Astrolog that I need to run, I really won't need any upgrades. My trial will expire soon so I'll have to make the decision whether to purchase it or not. 

If I do go ahead and make the purchase and I'm still using it after 64 months then the software has cost me $1 USD per month for that period of time. Viewed from that perspective, the cost isn't such an issue. Meanwhile I should make an effort to resuscitate this blog. I do make more frequent posts to my AstroWatch blog where I deal with astrological issues that affect me personally. The content of this blog was intended to relate to mundane astrology.
