Not sure if it is an option for you (hardware) but if you install the latest OS (Leopard) and install Bootcamp???
If not... put more pressure on REMA`s team for the MAC version

Hello JKF,
I do not think that "putting more pressure" will solve the problem. Just take a moment and think about what you ask for:
1) It is different CPU type from Intel x86 architecture
2) It is Microsoft software stack that you want to run on your computer
By "putting more pressure" you want REMA team to provide you a solution for totally different hardware and software stack. On another side of this equasion is "what all these efforts will bring". You want them to put all the time just to serve very small segment of the market (iMac on Power CPU, which is not going to be supported even by Apple itself). Sounds like a "cul-de-sac". These days you can purchase decent PC (on Intel or AMD) for $600 from major players like Dell. Christmas sale season is coming, so you can get a good deal for sure.
It could be an option down the road to migrate REMA code to something more friendly to other environments (eg., web interfaces, MySQL backend, ...) but it will require a major redesign effors and few months of execution not to mention another developer platform.
My opinion is that it is more important for REMA team to spend time on cleaning code from mistakes (or as we use to call them "bugs") and adding some critical functionality that is missing at the moment.
Just to make you feel beeter. My personal preference is Linux. If something runs on Linux it runs everywhere.
Cheers,
Boris
