With the preview of Leopard, many of the mac blogging community have been highlighting programs that are available now that do the same sort of things as those shown.
Because of this I recently discovered VirtueDesktops. It's sort of what Apple showed "Spaces" to be, a way of having several virtual desktops running at the same time, thus keeping you more organized. I think that I'm really going to like this app the more i use it. Right now i've got a "desktop" or "space" set up for communications (mail, ichat, etc.), for internet (safari, firefox, a bittorrent client), one for the iLife apps, and one for school (MS office, schoolhouse, iCal, etc.) I've also set up one for just Windows running under Parallels, if I need that running. it makes switching between them all very easy. I think that it could really up the amount of productive work i get done to have things sectioned off like this... anyways, check it out... http://virtuedesktops.info/ small reviews: http://jamminman.wordpress.com/2006/08/11/spaces-in-leopard- virtuedesktops-in-tiger/ http://www.tuaw.com/2006/08/10/why-wait-for-leopard-get-a-virtual- desktop-manager-now/ | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be August 22 at Pitt Academy, 6010 Preston Highway. | The LCS Web page is <http://www.kymac.org>. | List posting address: <mailto:macgroup at erdos.math.louisville.edu> | List Web page: <http://erdos.math.louisville.edu/macgroup>
