What about installing bootcamp old chap? I run pure macs due to having my career line set in the post production part of the media industry, just install windows xp or something similar they run quite smooth on bootcamp

I am taking that your Mac is intel based?, god knows why they changed from PPC the bloody idiots, intel is crap and highly unstable but I suppose it makes them cheaper and more appealing to the kids that are buying them as handbag accessories

For a simple cad program try sketchup.

hehe, they stopped doing PPC matey because they wanted to appeal to the mass market of fashion accessory prone kids
there was once a time when only the people who really needed them would have them
as to what andrew said yes sketchup works well

You can now get AutoCAD for Mac too. If you qualify as a student, you can get it for free for 3 years.
