[Ham-Mac] SDR on Mac?

[Jack Brindle]

I can answer the first one. XP runs just fine on a Mac. Vista runs  
pretty well also. Lots of folks at Microsoft are buying Macs these  
days so they can run both OSes (Mac OSX and Vista)..

Second, apps are going Universal very quickly. The last ones to go  
will be the ones from the big boys (Microsoft Office and the Adobe  
suite). That will happen sometime during the year this next year.  
Until then, running them under Rosetta is amazing. Apple has done a  
great job moving from PPC to Intel. The machines just scream along.  
They do like lots of memory, though.
