Fans of OS X might be interested in this posting to the vision science lists
(below) which suggests that Mathworks are considering a MATLAB port to Mac
OS X which would of course make SPM available under Mac OS X. Those
interested are asked to write to the Mathworks VPs considering the question
([log in to unmask] and [log in to unmask]).
Best,
Geraint
