BlueCup asks: "I've wanted to switch to Linux for quite a while, but my work requires a lot of automated tasks. For these tasks I have global macros set up using Toolsworks and Macro Express. So far I've looked for equivalents for Linux, but have been unsuccessful. Does anyone know of a similar program that reaches the same level of complexity of the above programs for Linux?"

    I've wanted to switch to Macintosh for quite a while, but my work requires a lot of GUI-intensive tasks. For these tasks I use my mouse to click on links in Internet Explorer. So far I've looked for equivalents for Macintosh, but have been unsuccessful. Does anyone know if the Macintosh will support a GUI?
