Hi John,

Many thanks for your answer, is there a plan to make a Mac version at some
point in the future? Any workaround short of buying a PC?

In the meantime, I am trying my luck on my PC at work (the Mac is my home
computer). I have installed R 2.13, but when I try to install RBloomberg I
get this:

> install.packages("RBloomberg",repos="http://r.findata.org/")
Installing package(s) into ‘c:/.../R/win-library/2.13’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning: unable to access index for repository
http://r.findata.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.13
Warning message:
In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) :
  package ‘RBloomberg’ is not available (for R version 2.13.2)

What's going on?
