I wish I could go, but it's nice to know I'm not the only Mac-based ham 
out there.  I would very much like to have some sort of forum for Mac 
owners, particuarly those using the latest versions of OS 9 and OS X, 
because I'd like to see some way of getting together and convincing 
some of these manufacturers and publishers that it's worth including 
support for our machines in their products, and possibly making 
connections with people who have development tools and time to work on 
ham-related coding for OS X.  I've been wishing for so many concepts to 
be ported over to my platform, DigiPan for starters, and dreading 
having to get VirtualPC to run most of what's out there.  I'm sure 
you're familiar with the sort of frustration I mean, especially if 
you've ever tried to get ARRL to think about releasing Mac-related 
stuff ..
