New recipe organizer for Mac users: MacGourmet
Greetings,
I just wanted to let any Mac users here know about MacGourmet for OS X. MacGourmet is an application that lets Mac users create and edit recipes, wine notes and cooking notes, easily browse their collections, build their own custom lists, import their MasterCook, MasterCook Mac and Meal-Master recipes, and publish their favorite recipes and notes to their .Mac accounts for others to see and share, all in a way that is familiar and intuitive. MacGourmet also makes it very easy to "clip" recipes from web sites, and import them into their recipe boxes. MacGourmet 1.0 for Mac OS X is available for download as a free demo that can be used 20 times before expiring. During each session, all features are available to the user, with limits only on the number of times each feature can be used during a session. Registrations can be purchased for $24.95 on-line at http://store.esellerate.net/advenio/macgourmet, or by using the built-in purchasing module. MacGourmet is available for download at the Advenio web site: http://www.advenio.com/macgourmet/download.html. You might also want to check out MacGourmet.com. MacGourmet.com is a website for people who love to cook, love great wines, and who also maybe happen to love Apple Macintosh computers. At MacGourmet.com you will find recipes, cooking hints and gadget reviews, as well as information related to MacGourmet. Thanks, -- Michael |

I daresay you'll never have to deal with a Library, and just run Disk Utility once a month, to let it repair permissions on its own. That's it. Otherwise, it's the Mac OS, albeit with some twists. -- to respond, change "spamless.invalid" with "optonline.net" please mail OT responses only |

I had to boot up my old Mac a little while back, and OS 9 seemed cumbersome in comparison. My parents are utterly incapable of using computers, despite repeated instruction, so count yourself way ahead.  -- to respond, change "spamless.invalid" with "optonline.net" please mail OT responses only |

I'm a Macintosh loyalist > and proud of it. Me too. I have been a bleeding-edge Windows user (from V 1) and a long-time software developer for it. But, at home, I no longer use Windows at all. I use Mac OS X exclusively on three computers. It's a real operating system, not a cobbled-up barnacle-ridden throwback. Fixin' to smoke a butt. It will be good after a time with lump and some cherry-wood chips. A little rub of brown sugar, chipotle/adobo, salt, black pepper, canola oil. I only have a Weber kettle, so it'll be indirect heat and some infrequent peeking until it's ready. -- Jack |

I'm not sure OS X even requires that level of maintenance to run well,
though it helps. Pre-OS X, I was OK with OS 9. Now, going back to it, I can't believe how clunky and inelegant it feels. As a developer, OS X is a joy to work with, especially compared to OS 9. Cocoa, which is what MacGourmet was developed with, is just about as perfect a developer library as you'll find. There are a lot of things done in MacGourmet that just wouldn't as easy, or even possible in OS 9, which is why there is no OS 9 version. Not to mention, Steve Jobs wants OS 9 dead, and Apple is all about getting their developers to do Mac OS X only apps. Just my follow-up $.02. -- Michael (Advenio, LLC) |
