  I'm going to be setting up two or three Mac SE's for a small
business, and I need some software reccomendations (last time I
shopped for PC software, it was dBase II).
  Here's what we need:
     -Networking hardware & software - something that doesn't require
      a dedicated fileserver would be VERY nice.

     -Tape backup hardware & software - we'll need some kind of network
      backup/restore capability.

     -Database - relational & programmable.  Something like R:Base 5000
      on the IBM PC would be perfect.

     -Word Processor - has to be easy to use (I've heard nasty things
      about Microsoft Word).  We'd also like to find a good spell checker
      and some kind of mail merge program.

     -Graphics - for simple CAD - PCB design and physical design of the boxes
      that the boards go in.  We need something that isn't too complicated to
      use (NOT a full-blown CAD system).

     -Accounting - I have no idea what we want because I don't even know
      what kind of accounting is involved in running a small business, but
      any help would be appreciated.

     -Any useful utilities/DAs you might know about.

Thanks in advance for any help!
