Are there other rather inexpensive PC based software developers with features you think would enhance the Mac based software on this site?

Anyone recommend a good vessel/yacht management application for the Mac? Something easy to use and inexpensive like First Mate Yacht Management - http://www.first-mate-software.com. It has:
- yacht Info
- Vendors
- Tasks
- Maintenance
- Inventory
- Fuel Log
- Captains log.
Well, I think I find the answer to my own question. BoatLogix. Great program at a very reasonable price, and you can not beat the one-on-one support from Jon!
Try the marinewright free demo.

The Basic version is inexpensive and has an excellent Inventory system.
I am using Bento a lot now, for inventory and almost anything. It is so easy to tailor to one's own needs that there is little point in looking for a marine template for it - just set it up as you want.

It also has an iPhone/iPad version, which syncs with the OS/X version, so you can carry your information in your pocket.

Only drawback I can see is that it does not interface with NMEA data so will not log your position, but you can import the usual CSV type data so could get navigation data in retrospectively.
Bento is very good with lots of user generated = NOT guaranteed, but useful, templates. Wink

My own favorite for graphically keeping track with future planning is iMindMap, or similar. Mac; Win or Linux.
This may need its own topic: odd software for special purposes. :o

I'm enjoying Keynote, and using it for generating animations in 2D. 3D when time is included. But animation is not the primary purpose for Keynote. Does anyone have recommendations or ideas for diagram / drawing to animation software?

Mostly moving a shape or grouped shapes along a path. + Usual effects...? The Apple Store did suggest drawing in Keynote then exporting to iMovie.
