Besides, given the utter lack of support (and even outright derision) 
within this group that came from Mac owners when PC owners (like myself) 
bemoaned the absence of QTR or IJM/OPC  for Windows (comments like: "now 
you know what we deal with all the time - too bad that we've got the 
software you want for once," "get a Mac," etc.), I wouldn't suggest Mac 
owners hold their breath expecting the PC crowd to support an effort to 
get Mike to release a Mac version of QImage. On the other hand, I won't 
engage in the same kind of commentary that was hurled in our direction 
(and equivalent would be "hey just hook a PC up to your existing network 
and you can run QImage fine."). We'd basically rather see him focus his 
efforts, as he has hitherto, on upgrades and fixes to the PC only version.

The inescapable fact is that the Mac market in toto IS substantially 
smaller. So, eventually the best products from smaller developers do get 
ported from Mac to Windows.  In the obverse, only the larger software 
manufacturers can generally afford the developmental work of porting in 
the opposite direction, when considering the much smaller potential market.
