[QUOTE="Daddy Elmis, post: 204820, member: 16533"] The areas of software that, frankly, suck in Mac are: 1) Quicken (made by Intuit) 2) TurboTax (also made by Intuit) see a trend here? Intuit has ripped a page right out of Micro$oft's playbook in terms of not playing nice with their monopoly. I should also mention that Micro$oft is also a pain. They were nice enough to create Mac versions of Word, Excel and Powerpoint, but not Outlook. They create Entourage, which doesn't speak Outlook. Mac Word opens any *.doc file whether created with WinWord or MacWord -- same with Excel and Powerpoint. Entourage doesn't open *.pst files from WinOutlook, and this (for many people) is a gigantic PITA when switching from Win. The Mac's are still far and away better than PCs IMHO -- in terms of hardware design, ergonomics, and human interface. This after 25 years of Win based machines, which I could tear down and rebuild, and make Windows do anything I wanted. Problem was, you HAD to have that kind of knowledge to make Windows work.
