Hi,

This won't be a complete answer. I don't use mac.
But I have Mathematica on two systems, win98 and linux. There is no
complication in exchanging the notebook files between systems. I read that
.nb files are system independent. They are ascii files. In my opinion, you
should do something. Try MathGroup.

bye, Borut
