Question

Why is the Second Life Viewer all that downloaded on my computer?  Mine is a mac.

I'm not surwe I understood correctly what you said - you wonder why you downloaded a Windows version to your Mac?

i am kinda wondering too...

the viewer is all you need to download, install and run. when you're inworld you will have access to your avatar and inventory. was this perhaps not what you meant?

Not too sure what your problem is, but...

On your Mac, go to the downloads folder of your web browser. Open the Second Life download file (it is a .dmg file). It will create an image disk on your desktop. You must double click on it to open, then drag the viewer icon to your applications folder. Double click on the application icon to launch Second Life, enter your username (esiuolonavillus is your first name, you must type Resident as your last name), then click the login button.

Where you expecting Jimmy Hoffa to be downloaded with the viewer?  Mine is a Mac, too.

This deserves kudos for the laugh!

Don't understand what you want to say, but the Mac version is here: http://download.cloud.secondlife.com/Viewer-2-7/SecondLife_2_7_2_233432.dmg

You may be thinking that SL is a game where all the files are on your Mac, but that's not how it works. SL is an online community, and you use the viewer to connect to it. All you need is an account, an internet connection, and the viewer, and you will be able to log in and participate.
