Every since switching to Mac two years ago, I have found myself to be much less productive on PCs. I particularly like the spaces feature for keeping my countless windows accessible.<br /><br />I also feel the need to give Accordance some love. I use a L4/Accordance combo and absolutely love it. Unfortunately the current iteration of L4 doesn't support PBB, but it is in the works for the future.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05882945319778736324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-39076868796131227102010-10-12T07:10:39.449-07:002010-10-12T07:10:39.449-07:00Logos 4 Mac files are located in ~home/Library/App...Logos 4 Mac files are located in ~home/Library/Application Support/Logos4 - the ~home means your home directory, the folder it starts you in when you first open Finder. I don't remember if the Mac version allows installation to a custom location.<br /><br />Alas, data files cannot be shared between the PC and Mac versions and I don't expect this will ever be possible. As for PBB's, they are coming, but it looks like it will be next year before they arrive.<br /><br />I love Logos 4 but have been frustrated with sluggish performance from the Mac version. I still boot up the PC version fairly often, particularly now with some of the features of the new 4.2 beta.Chris Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11230027273617652113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-65252670552866118572010-10-12T01:34:41.572-07:002010-10-12T01:34:41.572-07:00I have been a Quickverse user most of my life, but...I have been a Quickverse user most of my life, but all the while wishing I could afford Logos...Maybe one day...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-19533278667110653952010-10-11T21:02:26.435-07:002010-10-11T21:02:26.435-07:00I walked into a religious book store about a year ...I walked into a religious book store about a year after I was saved a and asked if they had any inexpensive bible software. They pointed me to a closeout shelf with a software for have price. I bought a copy of logos/libronix MacArthur Life Works for $25 back in 2005. I have upgraded to the latest life works(The Shepherds Conference discounts are great!) and added a few ebooks along the way. It took me a little while to get to really appreciate all the tools. I use it for all my bible study now. I also use eSword primarily to show people who don't want to buy software, how easy it is to move to the next level of bible study.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11524915737625412717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-63006552307016141082010-10-11T15:53:18.050-07:002010-10-11T15:53:18.050-07:00I quit windows about 7 years ago and started using...I quit windows about 7 years ago and started using linux.

There really are some excellent user videos too - awesome for streamlining your workflow.<br /><br />That being said for quick cut and paste operations I use The Online Bible http://www.onlinebible.net/. It really has a lot of features and is free although you may have to pay a royalty for several of the modern versions. Probably the most obscure one mentioned yet. :-)<br /><br />I have some issues with the cost of L4 also (it's like cable TV you really want 4 channels, but you have to buy 70 to get them!), but at some point I just said to myself, 'what is the cost verses the cost of other stuff I have?' Do I have electronic gadgets that cost that much, TV, book collections?<br /><br />So I sold one my high-end toys and bought the scholar edition. I haven't looked back since. It really is a powerful aid for Bible study and sermon prep. I would like to hear one of Greek scholars chime in, because I think their Greek tools are pretty amazing.Bill R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16938922140995146034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-12810553970335574722010-10-11T14:23:29.974-07:002010-10-11T14:23:29.974-07:00BTW, you can download certain resources from Logos...BTW, you can download certain resources from Logos 4 to your Ipad so they can be used offline. Alao, I'm sure you know by now, that most of the functionality of Logos 4 works offline for your laptop as well. <br /><br />I'm a former Quickverse user. When Logos 3 came out, I used both for a few years but finally moved exclusively to Logos.

I liked the way it hotlinked the cross references from <i>The Treasury of Scripture Knowledge</i> so you could click and go. (I liked it so much I stuck with an earlier release of Quickverse after their version 5 changed the way the program worked and destroyed some of my favorite features.) <br /><br />But eSword does all those same things superbly, and it's free, so it has superseded Quickverse in my usage. I also frequently use Biblesoft, the Encyclopedia Puritannica, and several of the Ages collections. I tried Bibleworks for a while. Didn't get it.

That way the drive will appear as an internal drive on the VM. This would work in windows on VmWare workstation, so I assume it would work on the Mac version (Fusion, Parallels,etc)<br /><br /><b>Am I the only one who uses QuickVerse?</b><br /><br />No, I use it too..but not nearly as much as Logos 4.
