That surprises me, it really does. First of all cause Mac users have to be at least a third of the market, if not more. Corel doesn't easily pass up a buck. It's not all THAT hard to port to Mac. Linix is harder and they've done that, though I don't know if the versions are the same. Me, I'm still using Word Perfect Suite 8 and have no intention of upgrading. I like what I have and it does what I want. Is it really necessary to have the latest software to be happy with it? I understand your concern, and have never heard of Corel having that attitude before. Personally, if I was in the software business, I'd port products to Mac and Linux routinely. Cover the market. That's how you make money. But, like I said, while the company is a good company, the owner is a bit of a flake, almost show business kind of guy, with a model level wife. They're kind of caught up in the glitter. But the rest of the company is usually pretty good. Have you checked Corel's website to see if there are upgrades for your program posted there? Corel has always been really good about posting patches and upgrades, though I've never paid attention to Mac portings.
Talent is God's gift to you. Using it is your gift to God.
