[Ham-Mac] PIC programing on a MAC?

[Lew Phelps]

yah, I am a Mac user and a big-time fan of OS X.  still at the beginner 
stage of learning how to compile unix programs, but there is soooo much 
available for hams that it seems worth the effort.

I have blown my budget for the next month or so on antenna-related 
stuff -- relays, switches,  cable, etc. to make a remote switching 
antenna device.  ameritron sells one for about $160.  I'm doing it for 
$70 or so, with 24v relays from the local surplus store.  most 
expensive item was the die cast aluminum box for the relays, up on the 
roof.  i thiink it's going to be really cool.   the four-position 
switch in the shack is done, and the cable routed to the roof, and the 
relays modified and ready to install.  i just need the box, which 
should arrive Friday. I found a good internet site that sells these 
things at a reasonable price.

the Phelps household has 5 macs -- my G4 desktop, a g4 15" titanium 
laptop, my wife's imac (old), and both daughers have 12" powerbooks.  
there's an old G3 in the basement that is going to end up running as a 
weather station server one of these days, up at our cabin in Big Bear, 
with aprs reporting of data.

I haven't forgotten the scope, but it will have to wait until I sell 
some more stuff on ebay.  my wife and I have an agreement about how 
much I spend on ham radio stuff, and I am right at the limit rightt 
now.
