Hi,

I just want to share this info for those people who have wishful thinking
that PE will update MAC software analysis to adjust start and stop points
for 3700 files.
 
PE response: "There are no plans to make any Mac-based software for the
3700."

At present, our lab is MAC based because of 377xl machines. We have 2 PCs,
but the other one is always tied up because 3700 machine is constantly
running. We analyze 3 or more batches of 3700 runs daily, the technicians
on MACs have to take notes on start and stop points and re-analyze the files
later on PC. Does any one have their own protocol to get around this issue?
(...besides buying a PC for each technician.)

Below is PE response
