I second the vote for RUMLogNG for both general logging and many contests. It's a good way to get back in without spending the time required to learn the Windows contest programs.
BTW, RUMLogNG supports the WINkeyer and I usually use it but I have never had problem with my Mac using the onboard K3 Keyer ( an option with the RUM family ). BTW, the K3 and P3 control screens built in to RUMLogNG are great and very useful and I find myself really missing the P3 control screen if I am running something else. Unsupported or not I find CocoaModem to be very useful especially if you have the Sub receiver. It lets you monitor both receivers on one screen. Anyway, I suggest you start out with these Mac programs and if you later decide you are missing something then you can go through the hoops of setting up a VM and running Windows.
