10 ProVue Panorama 6
Macworld.com has this article about Panorama 6.
I haven't used Panorama in several years and wasn't even aware it
was available for OS X. The big difference between other databases
such as FileMaker is that it is RAM-based. That makes it much
quicker than the other ones which are hard drive based and
only load part of the database into memory at any given time.

the app with others.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
12 GraphicConverter 7.0
GraphicConverter seems to around almost as long as the Mac
with as many versions as Red Ryder. The author of that one would
do a new version over a weekend just to satisfy a user's request.
While the author of GraphicConvert doesn't do it as quickly as
that, he does have a pretty aggressive schedule for it.
But he hasn't changed the interface until now.
It appears that it is much easier to use.

17 Quotes about "Giving"
The best way to make your spouse and children feel secure
is not with big deposits in bank accounts,
but with little deposits of thoughtfulness and affection
in the "love account."
-- Zig Ziglar
The gifts that one receives for giving
are so immeasurable that it is almost an
injustice to accept them.
-- Rod McKuen
There are two kinds of people in the world:
the Givers and the Takers.
The difference between the two is that the
Takers eat well, and the Givers sleep well"
--Joy Mills
