My organization has, I think, 14 licenses. I have been accumulating
probably three to four licenses per year over the past couple of years.
Only four of our licenses are for our Macs, but RSI has effectively lost
me as a customer with this decision. I will not be purchasing more
licenses, and I doubt we will renew our support contract. The irony is
that the Mathworks lost us to RSI in the same way when they dropped
Matlab development for the Mac. I will be letting my salesperson know
all this tomorrow.

What do people suggest as alternatives? I was looking at OpenDX a while
back - has anyone here used that? I would think it could be ported to
Mac OS X with a X windows interface without too much pain.
