Macintosh Computer User Instructions 95 Percent Group’s online products are compatible with Macintosh computers, even the most recent version of the Mac operating system, OS-X 10.6.7, but the process works a little differently compared to a PC. Please follow these instructions when initially setting up your computer to use our online system. To find out what version of OS X you have, click the Apple icon in the top left corner of your screen, click "About this Mac". Under "Mac OS X," your version number will be listed.
