I am one of those who BEGS for the SGI IRIX version. We also use Yellowdog Linux on the Mac platform because of it's stability, but cannot deploy our Rev apps on these machines because the engines haven't been provided since version 1.1.1. I feel that RunRev have all but abandoned the Unix community that gave birth to the great MetaCard engine. Instead of focusing on OS X specific metallic and pulsing doodads, they should be providing the supported 12 platforms that their marketing team used to convince me to buy Revolution in the first place. I have to say that I am disappointed.
