Mapping software on Mac

Brendan,
Thanks for your reply, I look forward to hearing how you go

Russell, I can't quite agree with that one mate. I have both a Mac (two years old) laptop and a Toshiba (6 months old). The Mac is a vastly easier machine to use, better quality and crash free using OS 10.2. Most major software is available on both platforms (MS Office/all Browsers etc). For the rare thing that isn't the Mac will emulate a PC (Connectix Virtual PC). On the Mac I can run any OS I choose (W98SE, XP Pro and Linux all simultaneously). I have used Auslig and Hema running under Virtual PC. I haven't run Oziexplorer as the GPS needs a serial port to plug into. Cleverer people than me have wired their own connections, so it can be done. OK, running Oziexplorer is important - but does that make the Mac useless? I think not.

Hi Bob
Does the Mac have a USB port, if so you can get a Serial Port to USB adapter from Harvey Normans for $55
