I suggest looking for ones without worms. You never want to bite a macintosh and find a worm.

What!! There isn't an iStamp app. If I had apple shares I'd sell them!

You can of course use bootcamp or a virtual machine to run the plethora of Windows apps on your Mac

There should be a web based solution. Then the OS doesn't matter.

I remember being a Macintosh Only Person at one time. They were great... except... Trying to get software that runs on it. All my friends had lovely Windows applications and games... The time I would spend at their house watching them play a game that I couldn't run on my mac.

So... seduced by the dark side... I have a slightly inferior product... but it WORKS (Windows7 64bit is wonderful) AND... there is software I can actually run. And better yet, the hardware can be obtained for something approaching manuafacturing cost, rather than at least 2x what it took Steve to build it!!

I really did like my Mac, but I really like being able to run all sorts of programs on my pc. And, I think Bill finally got it right with Windows 7.

Of course, then there is my linux quad core server... hehe, now that is an awesome machine

Hey, I run a mix of Mac and Linux. I try to make sure no app I run only works on one OS. That way I am never trapped. Windows 7 is the first version of Windows that's a different way of doing things, rather than an inferior way of doing things.

I'm not saying mac's are bad, I still think they build a better overall package than the wintel consortium, just that what drove me to the dark side, is that lack of software in various areas. Sadly, often the less technically advanced platform sometimes wins. Think Beta in the old video world... yes, another better product that lost out (Ya, I was on the wrong side of that one too).

It's funny. Macs cost more, and there is less software. But, in the end, cheap PCs are going to kill themselves. I read a report that it takes HP 7 PC sales to make the same profit as the sale of one Mac. And HP doesn't sell 7 times as many PCs as Apple sells Macs. Hence why HP is trying to dump it's PC business. I think over the next 5 years, you'll see a shakeout among the major PC vendors and you'll see prices start to come up.

Sadly, even after that happens, you still won't see EZStamp come out for Mac...

I've been working in the IT business for over 25 years and the Mac v. Wintel debate has never ceased -- kind of like hinge v. mount

In the old days (before PCs were so popular), we used to buy our software FIRST, then select hardware to support that software.

Alas..

I remember those days. We had VAXes running just because the software required a VAX. Nowadays, if it doesn't run on a certain OS, a company won't even look at it...

There is a paid for service from Stanley Gibbons but I don't think many people rate it.
I find Google docs is good enough for what I want which is both free and multiplatform.
