[Ham-Mac] contest software

Rem,

hope this isn't a repeat answer for you, but have you tried running 
Windows contesting software like N3FJP's modules under Virtual PC ON a 
Mac?? Works great for me, he supports nearly all th contests, and it 
runs flawlessly on the Mac G4 with Virtual PC! cheaper than a laptop!
