hi all,
i am a regular on the powerbooks forum, but stepped into new territory for a quick question on software:

i got a job in an architect office as a paid intern, and doing auto-cad, unfortunately on a dell, with a whopping 64 megs of ram, which cant stand any load i put on it.

i would love to do cad on my mac, but they are teaching me auto-cad, and thats all they know.

could someone tell me the CLOSEST mac cad program, as in practically a clone? this would be great.

recently, we had some computers stolen, for some reason the thieves were very stupid, and stole some of the cheap computers, not even ones worth anything to todays standards (Pentium 3s)

because of the thievery, and the constant crap of windows, they thought to switch to some inexpensive macs (like an imac, or ibooks), and said they would not mind a change in programs, as in no big leaps.

can anyone help me with this situation? (no virtual PC please, i might as well support microsoft by using their systems.)

with these picky guidelines (sorry bout that) what CAD program would be the best?

thanks in advance.

Software questions -- as stated in multiple locations -- belong in the Software forum.
