My fav apps are: Eudora Pro email Microsoft Office Excel-spreadsheet for my small business plus investment tracking Entourage - track appointments and reminder to pay bills iphoto home movies and slideshows are easy with this. iDVD great to archive my home movies Front Row to watch my home movies Audacity freeware to process my 78,45, & 33 1/3, RPM records to digital Application functions I need are: 1. to make collages of my photos, not just edit them 2. to leave myself temporary note about data that I come across, not Stickies which are a pain to use like this, or a full blown word processor. One of the older OS had a good "note" program but it fell along the wayside. --- MUGLO information at <http://www.freewebs.com/muglo> Manage your account options at <//www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/lsg2.cgi>
