SANTA CLARA, Calif., —February 11, 2008—In
less than 4 weeks since shipping, Bento, the new personal database
for Mac OS X Leopard from FileMaker, Inc., has been crowned as the
“$50 database for the rest of us,” by
BusinessWeek (Tech and You, Feb. 6, 2008) and chosen as the
Editors’ Choice of MacWorld magazine (United Kingdom) and
the MacObserver.com, two leading Mac media outlets. In his Tech and You BusinessWeek column, Stephen Wildstrom

database-management program aimed at small- and midsize businesses,
and marries it to Mac's new Leopard operating system. The
result is a powerful organizing tool anyone can use.”
In selecting Bento as its Editors’ Choice (Feb. 2008),
MacWorld Magazine U.K. observes that “whether

league, or just want to track your music collection, Bento is the
ultimate application for managing your
