Logging software for the Mac?
Now that I'm back active again I feel as though I ought to start tracking countries and squares worked on VHF and the best way to do this has to be electronically.
I've been using Minos for my logging in a Windows virtual machine so I can export the logs in .EDI format (if that's any use) but I'd rather have some native OS X software that I can import those logs into and add entries manually. If I give away a few points in a contest then I'm not going to fire up Minos for that, I write them in my logbook. Yes, I still keep a paper log!
So is there any logging software for the Mac that I can use which will import my Minos log files and allow me to enter QSOs manually as well? I'd then like to be able to pull off stats such as squares and countries and even plot a map showing which squares I've worked over a set period of time (because it's good to know what I do each year).

I looked at that one but it's serious overkill for what I want.

Let me begin by saying I know nothing about Macs.
That said, surely it's an easy enough task to create a database purpose built?
One you can edit, add fields when needed, make it look all buttony and shiny?
Half the fun is making something you use frequently...
Google showed me this page, "Filemaker" seems to give the most hits.

Well I've grabbed the trial of Filemaker but I know really nothing about creating databases so it's going to be a pretty major learning curve.
/edit - I think Bento by the same people might be a better option, I'm downloading the trial for that now.
