I am no help, but this could be good.  It may keep Brett Buck from going electric.

There should be a hard card set of instructions on basic programming for the ICE lite 50 included in the original packaging. That would require using an RC Tx and Rx to set the parameters.
If you are in the socal area I can meet you and set it up from my laptop.

Install something like VMWare Fusion if you feel like spending money, Oracle VM VirtualBox if you don't.

Both will let you run Windows programs on a Mac.

I have an I Mac that the guys at the Apple store partitioned to allow me to run windows. They said they do it all the time. They set up the Mac  and I loaded the windows 7 at the Apple store(they won't touch any MS stuff)

My set up works fine.  I simply start the computer in the windows side when I want to program the ICE 50

Suggest talking to the folks at the Apple store

Thanks Dick I though of that, But I would rather not put Windows in my Mac so I just talked my brother to down load the site, and I just use his PC , after all it's not that often after I get the ESC programed that I need to change anything, and what I do need is done with Hubins timer.. ::)
