Personally, not being a MAC user, my interest would be related to whether or not this would make a difference in terms of out ability to use Osirix with VistA. If Osirix can be interfaced successfully with a Linux based system, then the costs would likely be lower with that than with a 100% MAC system. Osirix can be seen at http://homepage.mac.com/rossetantoine/osirix/ .
