This is a basic address book application with space for a large number of contact details. Importing data from other applications can be a problem due to a poor choice of field definitions. In other respects, this is a competent address book, with many fields for each contact. URLs included in contact information are live links, and there is a separate general-purpose Internet bookmarks file. The phone can be dialled directly from a contact entry.

This is a free collection of favourite screensavers from the early Mac years, greatly enhanced by the modern Mac's processing power. Splines are there, as well as circles, fireworks, the wandering polygon, planets and Warp. A new one, Babelblox, is almost worth downloading on its own. There will be better Mac OS X screensavers than this, but in terms of nostalgia value, this could be the champ.

This program is a successor to Apple's NotePad desk accessory, but implements some key Mac OS X technologies such as the Color and Font palettes and a text ruler to make it much more elegant and flexible. Using Mac OS X's Services menu, text can be copied from any Carbon application directly to a note, even if the Notes application is not open at the time. Notes are individually named and text can be transferred between notes.
