Well, there are far more Mac users than Palm users. Plus, I just read that fewer than 1% of all Palm users have EVER loaded 3rd-party software onto their Palm devices! There are programmers who specialize in porting software between Mac & Windows. I imagine it's a much easier job than creating the Palm version, which you did so nicely. It's also undoubtedly a much bigger market, with no significant competition at the high end (unless you count Chessmaster 6000). (PS: I have been known to port software between Mac & Windows myself, although it's always been programs that I myself have written.)
