"_Unfortunately_, the program is only available for the Macintosh" -- precisely why I think you guys need to get out a little more!

If it's only available for the Mac let's keep it that way - Windoze has all the programs you'll ever need or so the MS fanboys keep telling me.
Why burden the poor darlings with something else?
