Lunar Ephemeris

I am one of the special 5% (or is it 4%?) of Americans who use the Macintosh computer. My life is happy and I am awed with the ease of computing....for most things. But almost all astronomy software is written for Intel/Windows machines, especially lunar software. I have been tempted to buy a cheap PC box just to run the Virtual Moon Atlas, Lunar Observer's Toolkit, and Lunar Calculator. But for now, I just use Lunar Ephemeris, a 10 year old Mac program that shows me the phase and the geometry causing it. I would love to have a Mac version of any of the PC software mentioned above, or better yet a web site (therefore accessible to all computers) that provides the powerful tools of VMA, LOT or LC - anyone up to providing such a public service?
