Q: is it possible to run two OS X on one macbook pro?
I just bought a new MacBook Pro with OS X Lion on it and discovered it would not read the plugins of an oline, text based, MUD I play. I cannot afford to, nor do I wish to, run Windows on my laptop.
My game ran perfectly well on the previous laptop I was using, which I do not have access to now, and I was wondering if it is possible to run both Lion and Snow Leopard on the same HD.
Okay if that is doable, for the previous laptop I bought the Snow Leopard upgrade but will that be sufficient to get OS X 6 up and running in what would concievably be a non apple space?
I hope I am making enough sense here. I am not an IT technician and just thinking about doing this makes my brain fizz.
Btw I have been informed by other mac players in my game that Lion does not support the plugins of the Front End I use and the people who have upgraded and run into this problem have gone out and bought windows which they run on BootCamp or a parallel program and gone with a windows based Front End. I do not have the money to go this root and am looking for a solution which will is cheaper and will have nothing to do with windows.
I hope someone out there can help thanks.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
