My 2p Freeware: 1) Caffeine - so simple for keeping my Mac awake 2) Dropbox - just great. What iDisk should be like.
Paid: 1) LaunchBar - a brilliant alternative to Alfred and Quicksilver ;-) [ http://www.obdev.at/products/launchbar/index.html ] 2) 1Password - I'd be lost without this on my Mac, iPod touch and iPad [ http://agilebits.com/products/1Password/Mac ] 3) Leap - Powerful Tagging alternative to the Finder - very neat. It's probably much better on a faster Mac than mine. If not then Punakea is a very useful (very) cut down alternative [ http://www.ironicsoftware.com/leap/index.html ] [ http://www.nudgenudge.eu/punakea ] 4) OmniFocus - just one of the best ways to keep my life pointing in vaguely the right direction [ http://www.omnigroup.com/products/omnifocus ] Cheers, Stephen P.S. mac98aop - does MacTubes still work for you? It used to for me but now fails for everything I attempt to download. :-( On 11 May 2011, at 12:54, mac98aop wrote: > Dear all > > I wonder if it's worth sharing notes on those extensions, apps, > utilities that are 'must have.'
