Back in the late 1980's, early 1990's they had a Unix based Mac in the Forestry Faculty at UNB that ran their GIS software. To run GIS, you pretty much need Linux or PC operating systems now-a-days. There is no commercial Mac OS GIS software that I know of.

The current Mac OS is sort of a blend of Unix and Linux.  Some of the Linux program will run on it native with only minor coding changes.

I am sure you would get along real well with my 29 year old son (birthday today). He speaks a language I didn't think existed till he got his hand and brain into a computer. Now I just node my head and agree cause even though i get the drift i cant understand what the heck he is talking about. But then he is a computer systems/robotics engineer and I just got 2 years of college and that was agronomy.

And a HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your  son, Bandmill Bandit.  My 20-year old son is studying computer engineering at the Milwaukee School of Engineering a little to the north of me.  He has never lived in a house without at least one computer, as we bought our first Mac a month before he was born.  I can sort of keep up with him as I had my first class in computers in 1968-69 in high school.  Now he is designing the computer network for the ship that I am trying to buy, along with running the computer network for his dorm floor.

Should get the two of them together sometime.
