Hello list,
I'm looking for the "must have" of PB software. Can any one point me to a web page listing or provide a list of their "top 10"?
Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
R. McFarlane
Let's see, if you're going to include utils and things, in no particular order:
1. Liteswitch - Provides a Windows-like Command-Tab. IMHO this is one thing about the Windows UI that is quite nice.
2. Appleworks - Even version 5 still works fine on 68ks and all the way back to System 7.1. Great Word Processor/etc
3. Eudora Lite/Pro/etc - Great e-mailer, admittedly the more recent versions are getting a bit big but 2-4 and probably 5 are great.
4. iCab - Pretty well publicized on the lists, but a great, fast web browser. www.icab.de
5. Mozilla and variants - If your 'book is fast enough to handle it, Mozilla is a great, standards-based web browser. Should handle most sites that iCab doesn't. If you're on OS X, Mozilla Firebird is a good option too.
6. MacTelnet/MacSSH - Either would be your most used or least used, depending on whether you do much telnetting/sshing. I do myself, but you may not.
7. Mt. Everything - When that stupid CD ROM won't mount again
8. Disk First Aid from 8.5+ - If you're running 8.1 or lower, the DFA from 8.5+ works somewhat better and even still runs on 68k. The biggie being able to repair the startup disk and such.
9. StuffIt/Dropstuff 5.5+ - If a 68k pbook, Stuffit 5.5. If PPC, either still 5.5 or the latest one, depending on your needs and wants. Dropstuff is handy if you want to make archives.
10. ResEdit - This is more of a hobbyist thing, but you can do various fun things with it.
That's probably my top 10 :)
