That many Macs, you're better off with something that works natively. Maybe
a search on Google will turn up something useful. As has been said,
Caligari's loss.
It's weird no one supports Mac anymore, since they're pretty much designed
for this specific kind of application: Macs and IBM based machines are a
good example of the Left-Brain/Right-Brain schism, Macs are meant for
artistic applications (Music, 3D, 2DCG, etc.) while PC's are meant for
business applications (Number crunching, mainly). Why these two don't
cooperate and focus on these strengths instead of fighting it out like two
starved dogs after a bone, I'll never know.
