for the love of all things holy, when will LEEDonline be available for OsX?
Any scoop on if they are working towards this?

All communication coming out of the group within USGBC that is developing v4 and the support documents is that improvements will be made and that the LEEDonline will become "browser agnostic" to use their term.

I'm able to access LEEDonline on my Mac through the Safari browser.

The problem isn't with browsers on PCs or Macs. The problem is Adobe not using open PDF format. The PDF format used by LEED Online only renders using Adobe plugins, and their software. That means the PDF format is proprietary.
I use a Mac. If I open a LEED Sample Form in Apple's Preview PDF Viewer this is the what the PDF shows:
"To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the PDF viewer. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html. For further support, go to www.adobe.com/support/products/acrreader.html."
Yes, an advertisement to buy Adobe's product is all that you get to see. The Reader is free, but I experienced difficulties using it and eventually had to upgrade my perfectly good older version of Acrobat to get the newest LEED Forms to work as offline work tools.
