Mac-compatible Ding ready for takeoff

"Ding", Southwest Airlines airfare-tracking application added Mac compatibility recently. Ding sits on your desktop, awaiting news from Southwest of any fare deals. When the airline sends out such a message, the application notifies you with a "ding".

Ding has been available to Windows users for a little more than a year leaving some Mac users feeling stranded at the gate by Southwest.

“My husband is an avid Mac user,” said Anne Murray, the airline’s senior director of Internet marketing. “So how would you like to have been me for the past year?”
