There is a market out there, but it is VERY small and would Never justify the cost of building a product for it. And though i am a total PC man myself, I would not go so far as to slander the MAC OS to the extent that you have. What the MAC does well, it usually does Very Well. And once we get the MAC Abyss done, I am sure that it will do Dive Planning just fine. Christopher M Parrett President Abysmal Diving Inc.
