Macs don't support "autoplay" like Windows does (though later versions  
of Windows don't support it either - it was disabled as a security  
risk) - but the Mac version of BeebEm does support "booting" an SSD  
image just by double-clicking it.

Doesn't get much simpler than that.

(Though I think Mac users are a pretty savvy bunch anyway. ;)
