At the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, we too have had success with TMS on Macs. One setup from outside the building involves secure remote access, then connection to TMS from an Intel Mac using Parallels 3.0 and Windows XP. The only slowdown here is the secure remote one; a Mac inside the MFA would access TMS without delays.

Best,

TMS works fine (and fast) on the new Macs that have windows on what I  
like to think of as "the backside".  But you need windows based  
software on the back side to make life easier - in other words - its  
really useful to have photoshop, word and excel on both 'sides'.   
I've seen citrix used.  I've also used ezvue to log in  - it can be  
slow. - best go for the newer Macs.
