Apple - Macintosh. Do not want to get into the semantic debate. Nor do I want to start the debate over Windows v. Mac OsX. However, I do have a Mac Powerbook and was curious if the software would run on this. I would be willing to pay the $20 USD to see it.

I have seen on other threads that when considering the Dolphin CCR it would be wise to take a KISS class and review the KISS manual and KISS the Dolphin. I am in NO WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM ready for this, but I would like to make the most of my Dolphin diving experience.

Knowledge and wisdom are the strongest deterrents to doing stupid things. I have done enough of those in my life. I just want to be safe and enjoy diving. I am sure that WE ALL got in Rebs because we want to make the most of diving and make it as safe and long as possible.

Well, this rant has gone on for long enough.

I hear you. I just doubt that they sell software for Mac, especially for something so specialized. You could probably do it through Bootcamp or VirutalPC, or wait until Jaguar comes out, and then run Windows apps natively through the MacOS. I know that one of my friend uses a Powerbook, and he has to go into VirtualPC everytime he wants to download his dive logs from Suunto. Suunto has a lot of resources and has never bothered to write MacOS software, so I doubt TDI would write any for Mac either. Diving just doesn't seem to be Mac friendly.
