55. Databases

In the Mac universe, FileMaker Pro (www.filemaker.com, $299.00) dominates the database landscape. Why? First, whereas Access is available for PCs only, FileMaker is available both for Macs and PCs. For workgroups using both operating systems, FileMaker supports seamless, cross-platform data exchange.

If your database needs to incorporate web data or interactivity, FileMaker's exclusive Web Viewer pulls dynamic web content directly into your database; in addition, the ability to post databases to the web is built right in.
