that would allow you to run Adobe Creative Suites. All cost money, (although a hell of a lot less than buying into Adobe)... and all require some work.

Probably the best is using Parallels or VMware Fusion, (basically the same thing). This would mean creating a new partition on your Mac's hard drive, then installing one of these two as the OS. I used to use Parallels, some years back, and it was actually quite good...and allowed me to work with windows applications.... yet 'almost' seamlessly. Eventually I upgraded my apps so I didn't need the Windows applications any more so I nixed Parallels.

In your case... you would create an older version of the MAC OS, instead of Windows, that allows 32bit applications to run. Good news is Mac's OS is free, Windows is not. So the only cost to you is Parallels, or VMware Fusion. Don't hold me to this but I'm guessing around $80. - JamesJM
