This also indicated that the application was written using the RAD
environment that was pioneered by the NeXt folks (programmers at banks
really liked the NeXt Cube and, later, NeXtStep and OpenStep for that
reason.
So, look to see this application be a little "pokey" on the first generation
Intel-based Macs and then go through a speed up operation as it is
recompiled and reoptimized. Of course, since Macs seem to be lasting a good
6 to 7 years, you may find that the G7 (two generations on from the current
G5) Macs run it just fine.

I had a look at a MacOSX app the other day called iRatchet. Looked like
it might fit the bill?

Conversation: OT - Software requirement
Subject: OT - Software requirement
Hi all,
A friend of mine is setting up a business where he'll have a number of
assets available for hire. These assets might be products or people.
He needs some software that will:
1. Enable him to schedule the rental of his assets
2. Prepare and print invoices to his customers for the hire of
said assets
3. Allow him to set different rates for the different assets
4. Allow him to set different rates/discounts for different
customers
Lastly, he's not particularly computer literate so it needs to be simple
to understand and use.
Can anyone recommend a good package? I know that ScheduAll is often
recommended on this list for facilities management, but his activities
have nothing to do with our business.
Cheers,
Tone :)
