I installed it (SPSS v11.0.4 for Mac) right away and it seems to be  
running fine.

By the way, I had contacted SPSS re: SPSS being behind with the Mac  
version. I was concerned about their releasing v14 for Windows while  
the Mac version was still at v11. I got a reply back that I'm  
enclosing below so others on this list will have an idea what's planned.
