Some say "tested on a PC" some say "Not tested on a Mac" I have accidentaly bought some items without checking and some work on a Mac and some don't. I wish people would be more specific and just say "PC ONLY" or "Won't work on a Mac" or "PC and Mac compatible." It would make my life a lot easier.

Looks like you'll be asking alot of vendors if their product works with a Mac.  When in doubt email and ask the vendor.

I make stuff on a PC. I dont have a mac to test on.  This would be something for the store testing to do since they could clearly state what  system the product works with. Same with Poser - Daz studio. My system wont run studio 4 so I cant test.  I say this product works on windows xp and Poser 7 and thats all I can claim.  It should work with Studio and should work on a Mac but I cant test unless I find a beta tester with a mac.   

  I dont know of any stores who do that type of testing though.

apart from some python scripts what doesnt work on a mac ?

I think you may get the right viewers for this thread at the wishing well. :)

markschum is right - most vendors that use a pc don't have an additional Mac to test their things. So they have to say "not tested on Mac".  Some years ago I went and wrote "PC only". I was flooded with site messages asking why my products shouldn't work on a Mac - and out of the said reasons I was not able to answer the question. So I began to say "not tested", most of all because I was not able to give any support (I do not even know if all the keys are named the same).

Macintosh computers are extremely expensive (in other words: overprized) where I live. So: No chance to get one.

Meanwhile I found a user and customer who is not only willing to test my things on a Mac but to give support as well if questions raise up. But that is not an option for anyone. You have to know a person for a while to be sure that he/she is able and willing to support your products any time just for getting them for free - and of course you need an advanced user of the 3d-app you create for.

In my experience, 99% of things that work on a pc work on a Mac - i used to have a Mac and made products on my mac and they worked fine all round ....

i hope to one day own a mac again :)
