[comp.sys.mac.apps] Mac Business software

jsaker@zeus.unomaha.edu (Jamie Saker) (02/14/91)

Our student chapter of ACE (Association of Collegiate 
Entrepreneurs) is planning on purchasing Macintosh business software
for the chapter's SE.  Our intention is to provide a system for
our members to use in starting up their own business.  Not only
would spreadsheet software, inventory control, etc. be of importance
but also small business organizational software, management
software, etc. would be on our list.

I'd be interested in hearing net-user's experience with different
packages under this field of software.  Any "can't live without"
software in this catagory?  Any real lemons to avoid? Any real
standards the industry lives by?

Additionally, has anyone had positive experiences with particular
companies in terms of educational discounts? (I know that we've
been quite happy with the educational discount MicroSoft provides
on Word and Works).  Since many of our members will be moving out
into their own business and purchasing software based on their
experience within the organization, I would imagine that there 
might be some opportunities for educational pricing.

If you email your replies and there is interest, I will summerize and
post the results.

Thanks in advance!
