Looking for Mac products is simple. All you gotta do is google. Say you want an FTP client, just google "ftp mac". IRC client? then google for "IRC mac". It's that simple. All you need to do is add a "mac" word behind what you're looking for. Try out the apps and see which one fits your needs. Don't like a certain app? Just dump it into Trash. No harm done. I hope this answers your question to Mac products. Cheers.

Matte vs glossy: there isn't a clear winner, it is usually up to the user. From what I gather, glossy screens have deeper colours hence look a lil better but the problem with glossy is reflection when you use your laptop outdoors. Personally, I use Matte.
And yes, there is NO Microsoft Access on Mac. If you really need to use MS Access then you could try BootCamp, Parallels or CrossOver. If you prefer to work natively on MacOS X then you could try NeoOffice, an aqua port for OpenOffice. So far there's no sign of Access coming into Office 2007 for Mac, reason being the difficulty to port over because Access uses the Jet database that is built into Windows. Hope this helps, cheers. |

@goldfries: SFTP app ? Yummy FTP ftw!
 I bought it for 9.97usd when it was offered on MacZOT. Beats Transmit IMO! But of course... Transmit has better bookmarking features.... Btw, Yummy FTP was given away for free on MacAppADay few days ago... So I guess you could try ask around your friends for a copy... |

Ahhh.. too bad then. 25usd is a lil pricey for an FTP software I gotta admit. Maybe you can give Cyberduck a go?

You can still open .docx documents on mac but it is not a straightforward method. This issue is being discussed here:

Here's a hint... Midnight PST is equivalent to 4pm Malaysian time.
