I'm preparing to convert from OS9 to OSX, and I will need to get an OSX
macro program. Comments on this list from several months back suggested
that iKeys might be better. But recently, it sounds like QuickKeys may
be regaining the upper hand. Any current comments would be appreciated.

One thing to note about quickeys, we're on MAC OSX 10.3 and already on Quickeys
X3, each version is a significant overhaul, these aren't minor increments, the
application is being very actively developed.
I can't comment on iKeys but I've been using Quickeys since OS9 and on OSX
