I'm certain that this would have been covered here, but a search of the forum just isn't locating it for me. Is there a general list somewhere that will tell me what versions of popular software packages are OSX compatible?

Forgive my newbie-ness, but I'm trying to figure out what if any software I already have (Macromedia Studio MX for example which has both Win and Mac installers) is going to work for me on my new powerbook.

Just ordered the powerbook today, I can hardly wait. The last time I was using Mac OS on a daily basis was in the System 8 days. After my trip to the applestore this weekend, I am ready to have my paycheck directly deposited to apple :)

I'm sure there are better lists, but you can always just go to the Apple Store (http://store.apple.com) (see the 3rd party software there) or Apple's software list (http://www.apple.com/software/) (see Apple software) or Apple's 3rd party list (http://guide.apple.com/ussoftware.lasso) to get a pretty good idea.

Thanks.. I did see that before I posted, but I guess I didn't look hard enough. The Made4Mac link on that page did help though. Looks like I'll be needing to upgrade some things.
