Every single Mac user I've talked with about it says it's great. That is REALLY bizarre. The same web site explicity agrees with both claims. They state in no uncertain terms on one page that it's PC only and the Mac OS is not supported, while making Mac drivers available on another page. I don't have time now to investigate further, but are both referring to the same hardware device? -- Favorite yoga position: Rosh hashavasana, the high holy pose Mac and geek T-shirts & gifts <http://designsbymike.net/shop/mac.cgi> Prius shirts/bumper stickers <http://designsbymike.net/shop/prius.cgi>

Every single Mac user I've talked with about it says it's great. Looks like a left-hand vs. right hand thing. The ad campaign has been one of the strongest that I've seen in years here in the Houston area. May look at it in a few months when my combo uVerse contract is up. Thanks for the correction.
