Stephany,
I know the folks at Refractions Research are working hard at uDig
(User-friendly Desktop Internet GIS), and a goal seems to be to make it
fully functional on a Mac. I don't know exactly what the Mac status is
at present, but the development is moving extremely quickly. I expect
it will be a very useful tool when the final implementation is rolled
out (March 31 according to the Refractions website). Certainly
something to keep an eye on.
