Thanks jrobb - that's what I thought, but given the amount of money some of these sites rake in, you'd think that the benefit would greatly exceed the more-or-less one time cost of implementing Mac software. But apparently it doesn't, and thanks for your insight.

I believe PokerRoom is web-based. That would work.

Pacific also has a Java client I believe.

Even with a monopoly on the Mac players, you don't see VC or PokerRoom overtaking Party any time soon.

These sites barely have the expertise to program windows software competently, I can't imagine what the mac software would be like. Plus it's not a one-time cost. There is certaintly maintenence costs of the software, keeping it up do date with the windows version, etc.

I only and ever owned a PC, but lately I've really been interested in getting a mac. Without poker abilities I am really hesitant to get one though. Anyone think I should get one anyway just because they are so sweet and own both a pc laptop and a powerbook? I think some people would think this is pointless and make me look even more spoiled [even though it would be from my own poker money.]
