FlickrFan is a simple application built on an open platform and using Open API's. As more people connect their living room to the internet, these types of applications will flourish and we'll all benefit!

"_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?
