I'm in the "I don't care" crowd. I don't own a Mac, and I don't think about it one way or another. I assume Atari will push for a Mac port is they expect to make money with it, or to have a significant image gain.
If they think a mac port won't bring profits, they won't do it.
I continue to assume Atari will port the Gold Edition to mac, and they'll make it look like a whole new game. It should be an event in the small Mac gaming community (I was amazed seeing the "Mac Games" display at my store almost completely covered by Civ3 boxes, despite Civ3 having shipped one year earlier
)

ditto for the sound card. People buy cell phones with screens not because of video calls and such, but to play games. It's because you don't need a really powerful processer to do business work (at least not on your desktop or laptop), but you DO to play graphics- and/or computational-intensive games.
