    I need a Mac with Excel 2011 for a week to work out how to convert an Excel 2007 addin to Mac. There is poor documentation online on Mac VBA so I expect to need that time to resolve incompatibility issues.
    Where's there a reliable supplier ideally Dublin-Wicklow-Wexford axis?

    TIA

    I've never heard of "hiring a Mac". Only leasing for 12 months or more.

    Easiest would be to just install osx on a VM

    OK, but I'd also need to get an Excel 2011 license for a week, which why hiring is better.

    Then what do visitors do who need to use a machine for a week or two at a conference or other event?
    How much is leasing? Hire is about 200 euro for a week, including delivery & collection.

    Probably done at a bigger scale where it makes it more cost effective.

    Have you spoken to any of the colleges? They might be interested in helping in the research

    No, just taking my time to respond :-)

    I'll call Hire Intelligence (somebody must have thought that a cute name ;-))
