apps to be ported to Macos X (10.4 or 10.5): wishlist!
do you think that the switch to intel will make more apps ported to macos X (10.4 or 10.5)??, if so, provide a list of the apps you would like to see them ported to Macos X.
I would like products from Ansys, PTC, Fluent and MSC.Software to run in a mac... that would be awesome!!! no more Windows or Linux boxes at work

1 - Family Tree Maker
2 - Quicken
3 - Access
Notes:
1 - Reunion is a genealogy application that has been on the Mac for many years, but my mom uses Family Tree Maker and it would be easier, theoretically, (see Quicken), to share/update/merge information/reports if there was a Mac version of FTM.
2 - Yes, there is a Mac version of Quicken, but I was not able to open/import my Quicken 2001 file with Quicken 2004 for Mac. The Windows extension is .qdf and the Mac extension is .qdfm so I had to start over and lose fours years of data. I still have data files and I would like to get the information into my Mac, but I am not going to lose any sleep over it.
3 - As much as I would like to have Access on my iBook I am going to have to accept Microsoft will not release a Mac version. Hopefully, Apple will have a database in the next version of iWork that is relational. Until then, I guess I can learn MySQL and add it to my resume`.
Not on my wishlist though. We already have the best. Maya. Lightwave.
Shove Xsi and Max, I say.
Xara. It beats Illustrator all ends up on speed. Xara. That would be on my wish list.
I can't think of anything else. We have the best of almost everything else.
Oh. A version of City of Heroes for the Mac. THE online experience...too addictive though...

As per a specific program, i would like to see The Font Thing, a free font viewer that can display an example of non-installed fonts.
MSBlast, Mellisa, Iluvu, and of course, who could forget the virus with the coolest payload ever..WORM_cisum.a (this .mp3 file was played oncer per 5 seconds)

You can get an example of a non-installed font by double clicking on it! It opens in FontBook and shows you a sample. Or is that not what you mean?

No. I want the program to print a list of any sample text from every font in a folder of 3,000+ fonts

OS X includes an AppleScript that does just that.

Step 1) Export your Quicken Windows data to .qif format.
Step 2) Import into Quicken Mac.
Step 3) There is no step 3.
Worked for me when I moved to Mac. Exported by my wife and my file without problems.

Thanks for the advice. I will work on it this weekend. Hopefully, it will not be too much trouble to get the two files merged.

Windows Media Player, MSN, AIM, IE, and umm KaZaA. Or other P2P.
os x already runs WMP,AIM,IE,and Limewire (far superior P2P than Kazaa)

I think Thinkdifferent was being a tad ironic there...
