eSanta delivers the mail
By ron carlson, Insanely Great Mac

Send a message to Jolly St. Nick and get a customized reply
eSanta is a small AppleScript-studio application that allows children to e-mail Santa
Claus with one catch -- it doesn't use the internet. The program simply simulates
connecting, including connection progress bars, to the "Santaputer" at the North Pole,
and will then send your children back a customized letter that he or she can print, or
even use the onboard speech to speak.
According to eSanta's creators, the app was designed because of a story that appeared
on Wired.com this past week about the many internet Santa sites that never return an
e-mail to children. eSanta solves that problem by formulating a response to the
children each and every time (and is even worded slightly different, should you have
mulitple children using the program). The program also displays the remaining days
until Christmas.
Editor's note: Just one of the millions of reasons the Mac is so cool.
