Ok, not sure how many times this has been discussed but what're the various
character gen programs for Windows and are there any for Mac (either OS9 or
OSX) and which ones do you all think are best?

The NSRCG (http://matrix.dumpshock.com/mcmackie/) by mcmackie is the
best Windows-based SR character generator that I know of. In fact it's
the only one that's still being worked on. All 4 creation methods
(priorities, sum to 10, points, BeCKS) are supported, though BeCKS is
not really usable ATM.
You might also want to check out the Valkyrie Module
(http://valkyrie-module.sourceforge.net/), which is an excellent
cyberware managing utility. It's no longer maintained as its author has
been drafted to the Israeli army; however it's quite advanced and an
overall great program.

There doesn't seem to be a Mac OS-based SR character generator at the
moment (if I'm wrong, tell me where I can find it!). But a Linux CG
project started about 2 months ago (see the list archives for more
info). Once it's completed it shouldn't be very hard to port to OS X.
