Depends on the prof. we have one that uses TSP/GiveWin. Then we have Gams, Gauss, SPSS, SAS, limdep, NLogit, STATA, and R (which I think is the only one that runs on mac).

literally all of those except limdep and nlogit work on mac

again, weird argument that i obviously care about

I can hardly get TSP to work without using some weird workaround on Windows. Well, they might work on Mac but that's a lot of licenses to offer, they can buy the software on their own if they want it to work with Mac. I spend over 10K on license every year, I don't have the budget to offer more than one platform. I have no idea why we just can't use R, I'm just the tech guy and not an economist but it seems like it does what the others do (hard core SAS programming aside).
