Firmware update, HTC Sync, on a Mac?

I need to update to firmware 2.1. I can't get it directly from my phone, but it is available for download from the sprint website. To install it to the phone directly from a computer, I need to have HTC Sync, which is only available (so they tell me) for PCs. And yes, I have a mac. Is there a workaround? I'm sure I'm not the first person to have this problem..

Thanks!

Call a friend who has a pc, I have a mac myself and use my work laptop to run my stuff for the phone.

You could run Windows virtually on the Mac using Parallels. It will take a little bit of time to setup but once you do, you will be set. Search the internet for instructions if you want to go that route.
