Bob, There IS a way if you want to try it. You can load VirtualBox on your Mac (http://www.virtualbox.org/), install Windows which you should be able to get from someone for free or next to nothing, and then install the Pepakura viewer or designer for that matter on the VirtualBox Virtual machine. Virtualization is really really really really cool! You won't be limited to a single app either. You can load any Windows software on a Virtual Machine and it's FREE! How cool is that?
