Ack, been too long! Surely other cool freeware/shareware has come out!

Ones that I find essential are:
  • Synergy
    - iTunes remote in the menu bar, along with a cute 'MTV' style bar that shows the current track. Easily worth the 5 bucks.
  • Safari Menu
    - Puts all my Safari bookmarks in the menu bar. I found a different one that could also launch applications and files, but the interface sucked.
  • resexcellence hacks
    ------> Specifically:
    --------------> *Safari Tab 2, Safari Tab Highlight & Safari Fire Progress from here
    AND this -> as my boot image
  • LiteSwitchX
    - Basically cooler Alt-tabbing feature
  • MenuMeters
    - Shows a bunch of stats in the menu bar. I only use the processor usage one. I don't really use it, but it's fun to watch.
  • Tinkertool
    - Does a whole bunch of cools stuff with the preferences. Definately worth the d/l.
  • WindowshadeX
    - Allows windows to roll up, become transparent, or be minimized in an awesome way you can't believe until you see. Brings back a feature Apple shouldn't have cut.
  • Sophos Anti-Virus
    - I'm not very impressed with this program at all. Luckily, I got the free demo version first. I'm merely waiting for my real virus protection proggy to get in from eBay.
  • Acquisition
    - I love this P2P program. It has the number of Limewire, only it works.
  • Geneforge 2
    - I played the demo for both 1 and 2 of this game. I always get stuck, become frustrated, and quit out of anger. It's a great game though, if graphics don't matter to you.
  • Glider Pro
    - The author just distributed this game for free. I'm awful at it, but it was incredibly fun back in it's heyday, and it's just as fun now.
  • Periodic Table X
    - Heh. To tell the truth I haven't used this program once. I figured I'd need it for college though. I'm sure there is a better one out there that is freeware though, so I'll be searching for a new one soon.
  • ClearDock
    - It made my dock a neato lime green with a blue outline. You can't get cooler than that!

Phew, I think those are the only ones I use. For the record, all the red words are links to the product's page, and all were hand copy/pasted and all that. This post has taken almost twenty minutes. So ever if you hate Macs or these programs, click one so I don't feel like it was all a waste. :P

Hopefully there are other Mac fiends out there with just as fun apps. Don't be shy!
