Actually this isn't true. Mac has taken great strides to get Macs into schools. As a result the proportion of Macs to PCs in school systems is far greater than the proportion of Macs to PCs everywhere else. What this means is that a far greater percentage of kids are using macs than all computer users. Secondly, Macs are FAR more kid friendly and have been designated so by several Parenting Magazines as well as numerous child develpment scholars. Finally, Its not that many kids don't use Macs, its more that many parents don't buy Macs for their kids. In two seperate studies of child consumers, more children between the ages of 6 and 16 said they prefered, and would prefer to own, a Mac over a PC.
Also, you are making a huge assumption in thinking that TT Devs spent an inordinate amount of time getting this ready for us. As recent as Toonfest in August there were no plans by Devs to make TT for Mac. This question was asked in the TownHall meeting and the Devs said no. Some new compatibility feature for mac or windows must have been developed in this time that made it relatively easy for the Devs to make TT compatible for Mac.
