Thanks for the list.
I am new to the Mac World and I appreciate it. :)
Ah, you're a fan of MindManager! I knew there was something extra-special about you!
I've used it for almost 10 years on the PC. I'm sorry for you that the Mac version isn't as robust as the PC version.
I tried out DynDNS Updater on the PC but couldn't figure it out. I wanted to be able to access my home Apex installation from elsewhere but failed.
