Hi everyone, Thank you for the comments. Unfortunately, we made a decision two years ago to work with an on-line information system that does not work with Macs. At the time, the word was that Netscape and IE were moving towards a common standard that would include the command set used with MIDI-Links. This hasn't happened and we are paying a price for it. With some of our limited time and resources, we are working towards a solution to this problem. The only solution that we presently have for Mac users is a Virtual PC/IE combination - not satisfying at all but it does work.
Here is the corporate website: <http://www.connectix.com/products/vpc4m.html> Here is a review of the software: <http://www.emulation.net/windoze/vpc/> The price is around $300.00. Please continue to complain and we will continue to find a reasonable solution. This is a high priority issue for us that we don't have the resources to remedy at the moment.
