xStand is the single best kiosk application for the Mac. Enough reason to switch to Mac for us

I am evaluating xStand for visitor centers for the National Park Service and have it installed here in Minnesota. The visitors and the staff give it a good recommendation. In fact, we could use Safari instead of, but prefer yours graphically
