A very timely question! Support for OS X is not in our plan for 3.1 but
we have taken a keen interest in it, and have been attempting to gauge
demand as an official product. Let me ask the list -- And for the sake
of discussion, assume the same model as our Windows & Linux releases
(free version w/ banner, and $-per-seat version without banner)

If Performer supported OS X:

  - How many of you would likely use it?
    (e.g. what's our OS X population among existing users?)

  - How many would likely purchase no-banner ($) seats?
    (& how many seats?)

If folks don't mind, please reply back privately (allan++at++sgi.com)
