As a followup to my last post about Mac freeware applications that Apple’s new operating system (Leopard) has mauled I decided to list some freeware applications that Leopard has left untouched and that I rely on daily.

By Sam Davis on Dec 14, 2007 within Apple, Coffee Break | Comments
Some of the comments on Franklin’s latest post, titled “A List of Mac Freeware that Leopard has Mauled to Death”, has got me thinking philosophically.

Last night I was wrapping a Christmas present, and because I’m so frugal (that’s fancy talk for cheap), I broke out the ruler and measuring tape to ensure that I minimized wrapping paper waste.
