This is just a list showing some alternative programs I am using in Mac OX (10.4).
Definitely, you can use all of them to do regular work instead of paying lots of money to buy all commercial software.
- Office
–> OpenOffice - Drawing
–> InkScape (installed, but removed. Not quit fit my needs)
–> Expression 3
–> Xara LX (Expecting, only Linux version is avilable now)
–> GIMP - FTP/SFTP
–> Duck - Web browser
–> FireFox
–> Opella - NMR data process and analysis
–> Sparky
–> NMRPipe
–> NMRView (aqua/ Java)
–> Cara - Molecular Viewer
–> PyMol (hybrid (using X11) / Aqua)
–> MOLMOL (using X11) - Math and Graphs
