What good tools run on MACs??!

katm · 01-30-2010, 10:18 AM

Hi,

I would just like to know what good programs run natively on Macs.

I am the typical Mac user -- one who just wants programs that work, who does not know much about computers. I do not want to run a lot of semi-experimental stuff like VM Ware, Parallels, etc. I was looking at Brad Callen's stuff, and SE Nuke, but they're both only for Windows!

So, are there any good tools that run on Macs without having to emulate Windows, or should I just stick to the basics -- email list, pitch, repeat...

Thanks.

What kind of programs are you talking about? Games? IM software? Keyword research tools? More info is needed.

Also, just so you know, Parallels and VMware are hardly "semi-experimental" they are both great programs that allow me to run any Windows program I want without an issue.

Parallels is now on version 5, so not sure where the experimental part of that is. I run it on my MAC at least once a day. Get that program, and you won't have to be concerned about PC or Mac software anymore.

BTW, Market Samurai runs on the AIR platform which is for Macs and PCs.
