I like the idea of checking into Bento. It ties in very well with OS X's features. You can take a free trial. If you like it, and as a general purpose database package, you could end up using it for other purposes too. But to clarify a point, it does not have the same DNA as FileMaker Pro. There is no commonality in the software. http://www.macworld.com/article/136062/2008/10/bento2.html http://www.macworld.com/article/132121/2008/02/bento.html The comments to these articles express many complaints about version 2 not being free to most of those who bought version 1. And there are complaints about Bento not doing more than it does, like it does not match industrial weight software like the Pro.
