I had this game since it was released. Used to play the freeware version before the SI versions were released. I miss EHM. In the last year I switched to a Mac from a PC and can't get a Mac version anywhere. I don't run any conversion software currently. I have parallels but no OS to run anything. Anyone know where you can still get a Mac version. I would definitely be willing to pay again if need be. I paid my money for FHM and like OOTP 14 but there are so many little things that EHM had that are missing in FHM. I cannot begin to get engaged in FHM at this moment. I feel disconnected from the game. Not being able to hire a Head Coach, no feed back in trade offers or counter proposals (this is the single most annoying thing in OOTP as well), not being able to mass offer out a player for trade to gauge interest (I very very rarely receive an offer from AI on a trade block player regardless of rating level), and no game or overall rating (form). Yes stats are being used more in hockey than ever before however stats do not tell the whole story like they do in baseball. Just because a player have 0's across the board doesn't mean he hasn't played a good game or a bad game or even a ok game.
I understand there are a lot of people on here that like the historical feature (as I do as well). I just think that so much focus has been placed there and the game as a whole isn't running at max potential. I would much rather have to wait for a good comprehensive historical mode if I got a engaging modern game first. With a usable UI, engaging and realistic AI and a good base of running a hockey operation. Right now those 3 things are missing therefor I don't care that I can manage the 1964 Montreal Canadians (to beat the Leafs of course) because it's not engaging.

I apologize for the long rant but I've been resisting posting that for a while and finally stated to post something instead of just reading and I couldn't help myself.

So anyone know where I can get EHM07 for Mac?
