Just to be clear, I agree with you! I find myself jealous of colleagues for whom the whole Apple suite of applications works well. It's like Michael Jordan trying to play baseball.doesn't work. I've seen no companies that have jumped into other platforms only to see the quality of ALL their apps drop. They are a rare breed of companies that excel within the Mac ecosystem. They've done well for each other without having to chase every other platform out there. Omni is a company that I can recommend knowing that their focus is on delivering best of breed Mac and iPhone software. do you see the big pile of dog crap I almost stepped in!"
