Syd,

Specifications for the Olympus LS-10 state in part:

System Requirements (Minimum)
Windows: Intel Pentium or AMD Athlon 1.4 GHz processor, 512 MB RAM
Macintosh: Power Mac G4 1 GHz or Core Solo 1.5 GHz, 512 MB RAM


So the answer to your question is yes, this recorder will talk to a
Mac computer.

However I am not sure if you just put the SD card into a card reader
and drag-and-drop the recorded WAV files onto the computer desktop.
Or is there some other software that needs to be installed?  Can
anyone enlighten me?

I am using Mac OSX on an Intel Mac, while Syd is using OS9 on a older
G4 Mac.

All suggestions gratefully received!
