Chuck,
Go Mac.
I am licensed 43 years now, and started with Macs in 1985.
There are plenty of first class HAM programs available for OSX.
Not as many as the PC community has to choose from, but how many 
great logging programs can you use?
My logging program is superb, MacLoggerDX from http://www.dogparksoftware.com
Also, the chief scientist at DogPark is Don Agro and he is a 
veritable wealth of knowledge concerning HAM software and Macintosh 
computers.
BTW, your Icom 781 is supported.

73, Ted N7QY
