While I agree wholeheartedly with your sentiment, Graham, and I have told many people similar things at different conferences.  That being said, this only applies if you want to run Microsoft Windows.  Flex, as of yet, does not support any native Mac applications.

If you want a receiver only, you have some more choices for Mac heads.  Phil Covington is now supporting a pure Mac installation on his SDRMAX for QS1R.  RFSpace's CuteSdr is also a Qt app and supposedly runs on MacOS X Snow Leopard.  It supports their NetSDR and SDR-IQ boxes.  There's also a program called "DSP Radio" for Softrock type setups.
