Greetings to all:

I'd also like to see a Macintosh-friendly version of MLO, though I realize that 
the common view is that Macs are less popular, and thus the potential market 
for software is smaller. However, consider the number of PCs that are used in 
corporate settings; I, for example, work for a city government, and I'm not 
allowed to load ANY software onto my company 'puter - that's what the IT 
department is for, and they don't want me messing up their delicate network. 
I'm sure my employer isn't the only one that guards its network and software 
installations carefully. That would mean a huge drop in the number of computers 
and computer owners that could buy MLO (or any other independent program). To 
be fair, there are also companies that uses Macs for, say, sound or video 
production, and those dedicated machines aren't likely to be in the market for  
MLO. I'm sure, however, that far fewer Macs are in corporate use where MLO 
wouldn't be allowed.

That would mean that PCs don't have quite the advantage of sheer numbers that 
most people think they do; and MLO sells better to the PC world than one might 
think from the sheer volume of PCs sold. I suspect that MLO might sell as well 
per privately-owned Mac as it does in the privately-owned PC world. After all, 
I'm a Mac addict, and I already use MLO on a Mac iPad...

At least, Im trying to use MLO. I purchased the iPad version of MLO about a 
month ago, and the MLO item I'd most love to see is a manual focused 
specifically on the iPad version - or better, an improved version for the iPad 
that can do as much as the PC version. It's frustrating to see the manual 
referring to a given function, and not be able to understand how to convince MY 
MLO to do it, or whether the iPad version has that function.

In the end, I understand the reluctance of MLO to move into the Mac market. 
After all, I'm only using MLO because a group of fans of Shadow Plan (a 
Mac/PC/Palm organizer) can't convince the programmer to create an iPad version! 
He's worried about market share and profitability too. The more things change, 
the more they stay the same...

Cheers,
Neil Slater
