Do the designers understand what they're asking?  i.e. that Macs  
don't have the ports they want to use?

If they're simply looking for a reliable and simple triggering  
mechanism, there are many great MIDI or USB input (e.g. http://www.x- 
keys.com/ ) options available.

But if they're looking for RS232 or "Game Ports", then I can only  
plead that QLab wasn't written for Windows.  ;)

(In other words, there seems to be some confusion about the  
difference between the goal and the tools...)
