Get your hands on a new Mac and a fine piece of software copy of Bento by Filemaker
MacFormat has teamed up with FileMaker to offer one lucky reader the chance to win a brand new MacBook and a copy of the company's superb new personal database software, Bento.
Bento is the best attempt we have seen at creating a personal database system for a Mac that you can just sit down and use without needing a degree in IT (see our full review in the last issue). It brings together files created by youriLife apps and favourite Mac software tools in one cleanly organised place. With it you can manage your contacts and calendars, coordinate events, track projects, and prioritise tasks faster and easier than ever before.
So much of the headache of running a database is removed by Bento. For instance, this powerful program works with the same raw data as Address Book and iCal, so changes to either app are instantly reflected in Bento and vice versa.Beyond the usual contact information options, in no time you can also create media wells to hold photos, movies and even DRM-restricted AAC files from the iTunes Store. Creating new fields is as simple as dragging and dropping.
If your life is growing beyond your inbuilt levels of organisation and could use a database to handle it all, then look no further. Really. For more information on Bento and FileMaker, go to www.filemaker.co.uk.
