GIS for Mac Redux


[UPDATE July 17, 2008] c|net reports: "The Mac owns the US." and proceeds to tell us that Apple's Mac sales grew 38 percent in Q2 2008 in the US, while Windows has slowed to a 4.2 percent growth crawl in the US. Or, as Adena puts it in her comment below: "The tide is turning."



Generally I do not publish web traffic numbers for my websites, but this is a stat I want to share.

For what it’s worth, my GIS for Mac? blog post quickly shot to the top ten traffic getters on this blog, and has been there, firmly, for over a year now.  Getting a steady traffic stream from all over the world.  Last several hits – from the US, UK, Ireland, New Zealand, US, Italy, US, Canada…

I wonder if there is a message here that goes unheeded.  If I were a Mac developer, I would give GIS a serious thought.  If I were a GIS developer, I would give the Mac platform a serious thought.

For the record, I am still not a Mac user.  Perhaps because my GIS still does not run on a Mac…
