I work mostly with FP2.6 on the Mac, but we have a few apps written in VFP including one in development right now. If you are running on the newer Macs G3 or G4, speed is not a problem. There are a few quirks with the development environment but no too many. The biggest pain is not having a right mouse button on the silly Mac. I also found that if you move the memory settings to 3 or 4 times the default that helps alot. There is virtually no support for any Mac specific programming issues, since very few use it. And it is VFP 3.0, which is has its limits and bugs. Have fun.
