Could you tell me a little more about this? danzac---at---gmail.com. Have you noticed any bugs? shorcomings? slowness in performance? I only very rarely need the whole windows OS running, so I'd rather use Fusion than booting the whole OS in Parallels. Dick,

I only very rarely need the whole windows OS running, so I’d rather use Fusion than booting the whole OS in Parallels.

I have found that both platforms work great when using Fusion so now I have the best of both worlds. Logos has produced some excellent syntactical tools which Accordance does not possess; thus I continue to use Logos for those purposes while continuing to use Accordance as my primary Bible software. I do not see the need for Logos to even produce a Mac version now that the Windows platform can be used alongside OS X with the intel processors I just recently purchased a macbook after using Accordance emulated on my PC along with my Logos software.

One slight clarification, which may just be my reading. <i>...some of the resources that Accordance doesn’t have and may never get (syntactical databases, opentext.org, etc)</i> It's not that Accordance may never get syntactical databases in general, but the specific ones already licensed by them, i.e., opentext.org. Nice post. One slight clarification, which may just be my reading.

I don't think that Accordance will go anywhere, just like BibleWorks hasn't gone anywhere. While Logos has made a strong and solid entry into the world of biblical scholarship with its developments and new electronic publications in the past couple years, I think the scholarly community still feels a little hesitant about Logos being a kind of fundie, Bible-thumping sort of software. And, let's be honest, they sure do have some of that stuff on Logos--and keep coming out with more, while they also come out with amazing scholarly resources like Hermeneia. Your first predication hit the nail on the head for me. When my current laptop goes kaput in a couple years, I will seriously consider a Mac now that Logos is available for it. Though I haven't used it, I've seen Accordance used several times and I think that it's better than BibleWorks. For what it does, I think it's better than Logos mainly because it's faster at it. But personally, I'd rather build my electronic library and have it all interlinked in one place. I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to afford a second Bible software package while I keep added resources to my Libronix library. So, I'm not sure your second prediction would apply to me. I guess we'll see! Sounds like a good assessment, Danny. I don’t think that Accordance will go anywhere, just like BibleWorks hasn’t gone anywhere.
