applications OS X could use that Windows has

[waiting_for_OSX]

1. Norton Ghost ( www.symantec.com )

2. Tiny Personal Firewall ( www.tinysoftware.com )

3. TextPad ( www.textpad.com )

4. cuteFTP ( www.globalscape.com )

and ( I know I'm dreaming )

5. Oracle Enterprise Server ( 8.0.5 would be sufficient ) for Darwin

[voice-]

Is that as in there is one app working for both OSs, or is there an OS X version and a Windows version and those are pretty equal to each others?

OS X has a built in Firewall. If you don't want to deal with the comman line, you can download one of the GUI admin utilities from VersionTracker.

I would love it if Textpad shows up on OS X... It's my favorite text editor. But I have to admit BBEdit is quickly growing on me. It's a VERY good text editor.

My dream would be seeing BEA WebLogic ported to Darwin... Won't happen until Apple has more server market share ofcourse...

Take a look on versiontracker for autogalaxy satelights.

Oh, and as far as I know, access has never existed for the Mac period.

And it looks like it never will. The Microsoft Macintosh Business Unit stated that it would take more than 2 years of dedicated effort to port Access to Macs, so it's just not going to happen.

It really isn't that big of a deal, considering OS X has tons of good databases for it... FileMaker Pro, FrontBase, OpenBase, MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc., etc., etc..

That Really is a Shame!

... although the other Database Programs may be "Suffcient" .. Access is like "the Big one" ... and i'd imagine a vast majority of courses (@ College) Deal With Access, and barely touch upon these "other" Applications! ...this is probably one argument, in my eyes, for which PC Users may NOT want to Switch to Mac, Especially if Access ties in with "work".
this isn't to stop me! ... Thats why its probably best to have Both! (PC 'n' iMac! )
