Alex, 

I visited to your web page to check out the shareware DX Atlas.  After
downloading the file, I found your 'setup.exe' that means it will not run on
a Macintosh computer.  Yes, I am one of the minority hams that uses the
Macintosh OSX system so I was not able to check out your $30 shareware. It
has been removed from my HD. I should have read the whole blurb on the web
page because it says nothing about Mac OS under the Minimum system
requirements.

Macquarie Island is the only location I have not been able to find on the
good old hard copy of the Radio Amateurs World Atlas. I posted the comment
in hopes I was looking in the wrong place and someone would point me to the
right page and location.  Like the old brown ARRL Spiral Log Book, I still
use the Radio Amateurs World Atlas.

Computers are great but some things are good enough the old way.
