[QUOTE="didymus, post: 943890, member: 98293"] You might try TextWrangler = [url=http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/textwranglertext.html]Bare Bones Software | TextWrangler Tour[/url] - I haven't used it myself, but it seems to be much like a Notepad on steroids :-) I've always used Homesite myself, ever since it was a shareware product, before it became the editing engine in Dreamweaver - and I haven't found another html editor to match it in either Windows or Mac. The GIMP comes highly recommended, although I find it pretty cumbersome to use, personally. If you have Photoshop, why not run Windows as a virtual machine through VMFusion - then you have both a Windows machine and a Mac and you can pick and choose among the best software for both os. Go with iTunes - it does what it says on the tin and it does it well enough for me - after all it's an Apple product, specifically designed to run on its hardware and interface with other Apple sofware, such as iMovie, for example - why pick something that will be inferior? I too used WS_FTP for years before switching - now I use Filezilla, which may not have all the bells and whistles of other programs, but it's free and it does the business. Another good reason for using VMFusion to run the Windows version - the only program that has caused problems on my Mac is good old Msoft Office - and Pages is a somewhat inferior alternative Not something I bother about, so can't help on that one. However, this lot have one: [url=http://homepage.mac.com/niteowl69/FileSharing10.html]NiteOwl Software[/url] [/quote] [/QUOTE]
