When it was released they said that Mac software would follow shortly. When my local user's group talked to Apple about it they said that they had decided NOT to release the software for Macs. Why? For about $35 I can buy software and run it on my Apple IIe, but I have to be a retailer to get the software for my Mac? Would anyone at Apple like to comment on this? Chris ps. For technical minded people: No, you cannot use just any terminal program, AppleLink sends some binary information to drive that graphical interface. Without documentation of some sort you aren't going to be able to write a Mac interface.
