My dad is thinking about switching. He really hates his windows computer. I dont know why his computer is always acting up, i usually dont get the same problems he does. He only uses a few programs.
Listed in order of importance:
1. QuickBooks
2. AOL ;]
3. Microsoft Word
4. Microsoft Access
5. Adobe Photoshop
I know 4 out of 5 programs i can run on a mac... but how about microsoft access. Is that available for Mac OS X (or maybe a clone program that does the same thing and uses the same interface a la Microsoft Word and Microsoft Works Word porcessor).
I'm still wavering back and forth between switching. I think my next notebook will be a 15" powerbook or a Sager 5680. Either way i think i will be happy.
*edit* Although he doesnt use Microsoft Access frequently, he defenitely NEEEDDSS it. Is there a program for mac that opens access databases or converts the files to a format that a mac program can read ( i wont recreate a database of 4000+ customers again ;[ *edit*
thnx
