Does anyone know if there is a work around for this student?

I am using VMware Fusion (http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/overview.html) on my Mac, which allows me to run an incidence of Windows. Hence, I am able to run Beyond 20/20, GeoSuite, and other Windows-based software. Works well.

It is possible to turn the Windows B2020 app into a pseudo-native mac app using Wineskin, which is the way UBC distributes the Mac version of Beyond 20/20:

Answer 2
This has the advantage of not requiring drive partitioning or a full installation of a target OS. Using a similar technique, you can get B2020 to run on linux OSs.
You also don't technically need wineskin; you can just have a local installation of WINE and run it that way.
