Folks-
This is most certainly a REMOTE forum above anything else, therefore one more MAC comment and we should cease the waste of threads...
A posting from a mac-user named Robin indicated that perhaps Philips "stole" the GUI for Pronto, and somehow the eliteist Apple people are deservith of a "MAC version of Pronto" etc etc. Well Robin, with the Mac market having a 6-8% marketshare, and most of that via the K-8th grade consumers via their school...where would a MAC version of Pronto been worth Philips' time and investment? Apple would not have, (and has NEVER) allowed access for developers to work with their platform by "opening it up for development" via SDK kits etc. So what Company would WANT to waste their time on such a platform??! Blame the dis-illusioned Marketing knuckleheads @ Apple. Besides, Apple likes to be the sole creater/seller of anything that will work with a MAC. Give them a call and see where they are with regard to development.
