Prerequisites
You will need a copy of Windows (2000. XP, Vista)
Parallel requires that you buy a license
What I did was download Vitiualbox (free opensource software from Sun Microsystems).
http://www.virtualbox.org/
The install is very straightforward. Once you have Virtualbox loaded, it will allow you to load a Windows' image running under Virtualbox. You can now load VZAccess
Couple of pointers
Before you plug in your blackberry, in the Mac Finder app, make sure that your blackberry is not mounted (you will see blackberry under the left column if it is mounted. If it is mounted right click over blackberry and click on eject. When you start virtualbox,and have VZAccess installed, in the titlebar of Virtuabox, go under Devices and make sure that the RIM USB driver is not grayed out.
Synching Blackberry with Mac
You will need to down load the application (free) PocketMac along with its driver. Install the driver before installing PocketMac. The user interface is very straight forward.
Hope this helps
