Ok.  I know on the FAQ page it says that there will never be a Mac port of Messenger Plus, but Patchou is wrong about Mac OS X not supporting APIs.  It may not support *his* APIs, but it obviously supports APIs.  How else would the OS function?   Anyway, OS X is very simple to use and learn, and it comes with free Developer Tools for Cocoa (Objective-C) and others, like Java and Carbon.  Unless there's something I don't know, a port to Mac OS X looks very possible.

it doesn't support the MSN Messenger APIs that he needs to function

and he doesn't have a mac.  buy him one, and he'll considder it (maybe)

Well if He buys Him one why doesnt the Forums start a Fund? We can all Pitch in I guess

A PowerMac G3 off of eBay isnt that expensive, and it will run the latest version of OS X, it just probably isn't fast enough for what he needs (a Blue and White is like six years old).

No a Brand New one but I'll help in anyway since I have a mac but no .Net on it

yet still, MSN Messenger for mac doesn't have the API functions to work with Plus!, so he wont do it

What about aMSN?

Yes...but he could make an Add-on Coudn't He?

That's what I'm thinking.  MS makes it to where MSN Messenger for Mac OS X stinks.  They could make it better, as seen with aMSN.  I personally hate aMSN's look, but I like its functionality.

I PM'd Patchou... We'll see how this tuns out.
