I was a systems admin down there for a season. RPSC (Raytheon Polar Services Co.) is the current contractor for USAP (United States Antarctic Program) support services, though that may change this year. They're always hiring IT folks for the station and the ships that do research down there, though the main push is during late-spring and late-fall to get people for the next season. There's also a poorly-publicized job fair at RPSC headquarters in Centennial, CO every spring.
You can see what's available at http://rayjobs.com./ Just select "Antarctica-Polar Services" in the "Featured Location(s)" box; leave everything else blank. Most jobs will come up with a location in Centennial, however if they ask for a primary and alternate, the job is actually on station.
You'll need a little adapter box that sits between the mac and the KVM switch. I believe the Belkin version comes with the cables you need to connect it to the mac, so you'll just need to get the PC-style cables to connect the adapter to the switch. I don't believe they support using a mac monitor, mouse, or keyboard though.

How did you manage to get attorneys general of two states to take an interest in your complaint?

Good luck. It's a lot of fun and craziness.
