You must be living in a time warp. MaxSea dropped Apple support several years 
ago. It is no longer available for Apple computers. However several other 
excellent navigation programs are available for the Macintosh. 

Further, the control that Apple retains over both hardware and operating 
systems permits them to provide the highest degree of reliability and user 
satisfaction in the marketplace according to CU. Apple computers have been 
plug-and-play for hardware add ons for a decade and pioneered the use of the USB and 
Firewire interfaces which permit just about any third party components to be used 
right out of the box. The new Intel based Apple computers come with software 
which lets them boot into Microsoft XP and run all PC programs. This 
capability will be incorporated natively in the new operating system. Finally a little 
do-it-yourself market research will show you that Apple computers are often 
less expensive than PCs with the same capabilities. 

No connection with the company but a very satisfied user.
