Thanks

Hi Jef,
I am a mac user and do not believe that there is a segment planner designed for the mac. However, I do run one by using Virtual PC to run the Windows XP Operating System. If you have one of the newer Intel-based Macs, you should be able to run a Windows Operating system without using Virtual PC to emulate the PC environment. As of today, I believe that those are your choices-hope that you find this helpful.

The Excel spread sheet method works. But a dedicated program no... if I had time I would write one in RealBasic....
Thanks for the help guys. I sort of figured those were the only options. I guess I will have to break down and get the virtual PC software. Maybe this year I can talk the wife into a intel Mac.

Jeff,
There is another option available, if you want to try installing Linux on your computer. You can put it on a seperate partition, without affecting the existing install of Mac OS assuming you have enough disk space (3 or more gigabytes).
There are at least 3 different Windows emulators available for Linux, with one (Wine) you can run Windows programs within Linux and with others (Qemu and VmWare) you can boot a Windows system inside of Linux just like VirtualPC.
I recommend Ubuntu Linux as the most user-friendly system.
It may even be possible to run one or all of these 3 programs in Mac OSX, I'm not sure. I know Qemu can, you might want to look into that first. These are all open-source programs, and free.
