[Ham-Mac] iMac Intel - HAM Applications - first experiences

[Steve - VA3SPH]

Hi Dick,

Glad this helped.

I haven't tried LoTW system. Not even when I was on PowerPC.  I  
suspect it would require a recompile from the source code.
It obviously runs on Linux on Intel so I think chances are good it  
could compile on Darwin Intel. Darwin is the Open Source BSD/MACH  
core of Mac OS X.
Perhaps Steve N9YTY could shed some light on that as not sure how  
difficult it was to compile on non-linux kernel.  I am not sign him  
up to do that just he may have the best insight on the topic.  It  
might run under Rosetta currently.  I get the impression is not a big  
processor intensive thing running LoTW software.  Is this correct?

MS Office Entourage works fine. In fact the whole MS Office package  
works very well.  Sources tell me there was special attention given  
to that from Apple with respect to Rosetta during the developer beta.

73,

Steve VA3SPH
