    OK I'm planning on downloading the wonderful StepMania for my MacBook when I get it...I already checked to see if StepMania is written for macs and indeed it is. My brother had an old Dell Inspiron that we used to hook our pad up to (Cobalt Flux, those DDR fans out there know what I'm talking about ;)). I haven't been able to get to talk to my brother for some time now and I'm wondering what cords/cables do you think I need in order to hook this pad up to my macbook so I can play all the stepmania songs?

    Probably an adapter which connects the Cobalt pads (and yes I know what they are) to the USB port.

    I'm not sure, I mean the old reason I can play DDR on my brother's old Dell Inspiron is because someone wrote a program called Stepmania which has all the DDR songs and you're supposed to use the arrow keys to play, except my brother found a way to hook our cobalt flux up to his laptop so we could play from there. But now that he's gone, I don't know how to hook it up to a macbook and there is a mac version of StepMania
