OK: Time to update my loyal readership (are you out there?) on my MacBook. Probably the MOST IMPORTANT application of all is my checkbook program. Historically it was MS-Money which was an awesome program. I went to get a native Mac application to replace it, because of course we can't have any of that evil Microsoft stuff running anymore, but this is where the wrinkles began... It appears that Apple has not really got enough of a user base to entice application programmers to develop decent tools... Moving from MS-Money, which clearly has been used and tweaked based on "zillions" of users complaining and moaning has thus resulted in a quite a fine and highly tuned user interface has made just about anything else very sad in comparison. It appears there is a Quicken available, but the reviews indicate the Apple version is a pale imitation of its regular product and I was finding nothing but complaints. I ended up buying (and at $60 bucks, not cheap) iBANK from IGGSoftware, which LOOKS nice, until you find out that they DO NOT have zillions of users complaining, but rather about five of us... While I remain committed to my MAC-only SW policy, I really hope there are more of us MAC users out there and that someone takes up the gauntlet of providing decent personal productivity apps... PLEASE!! ??

Huh?
good luck getting any sort of decent applications for a mac. I mean, there IS a reason that Windows still dominates the OS market... what was it again?... Oh i remember, they don't suck
