This is wfm on win32 with SM and also Firefox (launches SM). Must be MAC only

Wiki doesn't have the link. Clicking on the contact link at http://www.hirlimann.net/islande/ works with Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.2.2pre) Gecko/20100314 Lanikai/3.1b2pre.

Resolving WFM feel free to reopen if your mileage varies.
