I run my own small business, equipped with a few Macintosh computers and Microsoft Office, which allow me to do most of what I want. However, it has come to my attention I could use a good 'basic' project-management tool. Do you know of anything suitable for the Mac?

DQ: When one considers how difficult it can be to suggest a simple word-processor to a mate, imagine how hard it is to recommend a project-management tool? Microsoft's near-monopoly of the desktop market makes the choice a little easier, although there are a few decent alternatives these days.
Project management is a nebulous thing, however. This software can be simple or horrifically complex. For a small operation, simple is the way to go.
I have looked at a few sites offering Mac or multiple-operating-system versions of their product. I suggest you download the demo versions and try them out.
For project-management software, you need to understand the system well before you buy. Make sure you test those tasks that are essential to running your business. Don't forget to test for multilingual text entry, if needed.
