Sure he could -- but it sounds like he is doing this for artistic
people as well as  business people.

I suspect that the artists are the ones with the Macs, and that they
would not tolerate the imposition of the windows desktop.

I use a Mac and, yes, VPC when necessary -- I just can't/won't use
windows unless there is no other alternative,

IMO, there is just no comparison (no flames please -- I said IMO)

  Subject: SOT: desktop application

  I have a question about what the best practice would be for creating a
  desktop application.��I do websites for some different bands, and they
  all have an e-mail sign-up on their website.��Most of them also have
  some kind of a paper sign-up at concerts for people to sign up for the
  email list.��I was considering building an app that would run on a
  desktop to allow people at concerts to enter their email address and
  write it to a text or xml file that could then be uploaded to the
  webserver and parsed into the database.

  My question is what would be the best method to do this?��I was
thinking
  of doing the front end in Flash but I'm not sure how to write to a file
  from there.��In theory, this app would need to work on a mac and a pc.
  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
