Hello everybody.
Hopefully I didn't miss this anywhere in the thread, but I am hoping to find an interesting piece of software.
I work in a small business (really small, just two people for now) and we are looking to do some upgrades with how we communicate information. I'm looking for a piece of software that multiple users can log onto and make changes to contacts, add projects, add notes and do business-related things like that but also have the software be both Windows and Mac compatible.
We aren't looking to spend a ton of money, as the economy isn't really allowing that now, so we've already eliminated things such as Lotus Notes. If anyone has any ideas out there for ANYTHING that we can use that may be able to provide that for us it would be a great help.
Thanks.

I don't know, that's a good question. I searched for "Lotus Notes alternative" and got this web service, which claims to offer Mac support and looks pretty good:

Depending on your exact needs and ability to do some minor development of your own you might want to look at FileMaker Pro. While it is a little bit of a cost to get FileMaker on every computer, once you are are there you can then have multiple people in the database at the same time editing and they won't stop on each other. And as long as you choose a font that is on both platforms (and has the same size on both), you can do your development work on either platform and it will look right on the other.
A note that trips people up though: One computer has to have the database open, and then it shares the connection to the other one. If you try to have both open it at the same time (from a file-share) then you will get data corruption. But FileMaker has built-in sharing for groups under 10. Above that you really want to buy a copy of 'server.

Wow, those look great!
But how about Daylite? It's gotten so much better for a small 1-2 person shop and there's only a one time purchase fee.
