2Remember

Price: $13 US
Site:
www.andreaegreta.com/andrea/2remember.php

They say the best works came from need, and 2Remember was done because I really needed it. I was frustrated by every todo manager around: it took by far less time to fetch a pen and a piece of paper, than to launch it, doubleclick, type, click, type, click, click... They wheren't available when I needed them, leaving them open required to manually show/hide their window, and i couldn't even set to be notified of an upcoming todo!

Well, I decided it was time to do something about it. First the Mac deserved a great-looking todo manager, second, it had to be usable. So forget those feature-rich programs, with a user interface you can't figure out, I try to make every feature easy to use... And fast! One click is all you need!

GooSearch is what you've always expected from a Google toolbar. Web, image, groups, directory, news search. Translate and submit webpages. Look at some of the features of GooSearch below.

GooSearch has been realized with RealBasic, one of the most popular application creator on the Macintosh. GooSearch will run on any computer running System 7 or newer including MacOs X.

What makes GooSearch so cool and useful is that it uses Google, the most popular search engine in the world that currently indexing more than 2,469,940,685 Web pages. The main window is very small (156x64 pixels), so it is very great to leave it always open on the desktop. With a 1024x768 screen resolution, GooSearch takes only less than 5% of all the screen so it is so small that you can leave it open on the desktop all day long.

Everyone requested it, everyone got it. The search window always remembers his position on the screen everytime you open it. You own a website and you wish that some people go on it ? No problem. By using the built-in submit webpage function, your webpage will be submitted to Google within seconds.

GooSearch features the possibility to search images with different sizes like icons, wallpapers, etc... Also you can search Mac-related content, U.S. Govrnement sites and even PC-related content...

BOOM is an arcade game in the grand tradition, bringing the playability and feel of the glorious 8-bit consoles on the Macintosh.

As a space marine your mission is to penetrate 8 alien infested areas, each one divided in 10 sub-zones, eliminate all enemies using your bombs and finally kick the Big Alien Boss back to where he came from.
