In addition to all the PC suggestions, FLDIGI and cocoaModem 
work on Mac OS and support a bunch of digital modes. RUMlog and 
RUMped are decent logging programs.

It is also possible to run Windows directly on Mac hardware. 
Apple makes high quality hardware and I have met people who run 
Windows on MacBook computers because they want to take advantage 
of the hardware and don't like Mac OS.
