Qumana: Windows on a Mac?

Filed under: Rants — Dick Hardt @ 6:41 pm

I currently use MarsEdit to write blogs. I would likely write more if it was a better tool, but lots of things are much harder than I think they should be. (like dragging and dropping links and images).

I was just reading a post about Qumana and the promise of dragging and dropping images and links got me all excited. I went to the home page to see this graphic

Happy woman! Nice, cool looking pad! … and check that, she is using a PowerBook! Cool. I can use Qumana with a Mac! … well, that is if I can get the following system requirements listed to work on my PowerBook:

The Qumana application has the following system requirements:

  • Operating System: Windows(R) XP, Windows(R) 2000, Windows(R) 98
  • Processor: Intel Pentium or compatible
  • Memory: Minimum 128Mb
  • Additional space is needed to store any content you collect.
  • Internet: An Internet connection is needed for Qumana.
  • Well, the Intel processor is coming at least. But then my blogging tool (WordPress) is not supported anyways. Boo hoo.

    1. Good points. We will have a mac version in not too long. And we support WordPress - I have 3 WordPress blogs myself!

      But I agree our image/copy need work. We actually have a new design being produced as of today and my fingers were just rewriting copy as you posted this. Funny timing.

    2. Dick,

      We’re working on a Mac version and we fully support WordPress! Let me know if you’d like to be in the beta test for the Macs.

    3. Maybe ecto is worth a try for you. I am using it happily with 2 blogs. http://ecto.kung-foo.tv/

    5. Let me second the hint to ecto .
      It supports drag&drop of images, links, tagging and much much more. And it gets better all the time. Wordpress-support is a no-brainer.
      And it looks GOOD.
      (disclaimer: besides using ecto, I’m in no way affiliated.)

    6. Thanks for the feedback. I installed Ecto. I like the drag and drop. Too bad it does not always work (dragging a graphic from a website does the wrong thing)

    7. I see the nice picture is gone. Too bad. Looking forward to test driving the Mac version.
