  I figured it was just me.  I hope they write it so that it will run on
something OTHER than Windows as well as on Windows - I'm tired of having
to re-install the driver for something just because I unplugged it or
moved it to another USB port.  They can re-write it all they want, if I
can't run it on my Mac I'm not likely to be interested.  Once bitten,
twice scorned.

YMMV,
