I'd have thought that "throw" rhymes with "plow"
I don't think it does, but that's because plow is pronounced plau. At least according to what I've learnt and what my dictionary says.
Ah - now that you say so, I think I should have known that...... Ha, learnt something newagain today!
Have joy in the Lord!

since moving to OS X, Accordance has been a Carbon-based App. Accordance wasn't rewritten for Cocoa, so it can't support the following:
- 64bit
- New OS X Technologies (OpenCL, GCD, Gestures, fullscreen, notifications, etc.)
To me this really doesn't matter one way or another (I believe Fr. Charles is right when he says all that matters is what works), but from what I can tell, Logos is not running as a 64 bit app either (and neither is MS Word 2011):
Again, I don't feel it matters in the end result. I just find it odd that this would be offered as a criticism of Accordance in comparison to Logos when the latter does not seem to be any different.

Sadly, my comparison wasn't that Logos had these capabilities (64bit, OpenCL, GCD) and Accordance didn't. Logos 4 certainly doesn't or might not support these capabilities given the Mono (.NET port) based architecture on the Mac. The comparison was directed to the folks at Accordance who still aren't writing a modern Mac App (and OS X is their primary platform).
It would be a nice win for all users if both Apps supported these base OS X technologies as we would see increased performance, better memory management/usage and improved graphics performance.

I think Bob has indicated that will happen with Logos when Pigs fly, Lipstick or not.
I think I just successfully made a joke.

Obviously I'm not a Mac person, but I'd assume if Accordance can run on an older Mac emunlator for Windows, that they're likely waiting for a Windows-specific offering before letting go of the older environment?

That has been much of the reasoning in the past, but v. 10 is the first version of Accordance that will not run in the emulator (it requires 10.6/Snow Leopard or higher). I've heard nothing specific, but I would guess that it is clearly an application in transition.

In regard to memory management, it's pretty interesting to compare the two products in the screen capture of Activity Monitor that I posted earlier.

Memory usage/consumption and management are two different things. Nevertheless, Accordance's memory requirements are lower than Logos, even on my Mac.
