Requirements: G3 or faster Mac, Mac OS X 10.2 or later
This handy dandy app brings the location manager functionality of Mac OS 9 to OS X, and is a must-have for anyone with a PowerBook or iBook. Location X allows you to easily change your default network, time zone, email settings, default printer, connection speeds, run AppleScripts, and more all at once with one click, meaning if you’re away from home (at work, school, or even some place strange on business), you can create settings that reflect your current situation (and save them), and then easily change all settings to your default ones when you get home with a single click. With it, you can set up locations for all the places you visit frequently. It also supports third party plug-ins that will allow you to change even more settings.
Requirements: G3 or faster Mac, Mac OS X 10.1 or later, BSD subsystem
Got X (including Jaguar and Panther)? Here’s a trusty little maintenance buddy that’ll keep your OS running in tip-top condition. PCC provides access to many OS X maintenance and utility options via a simple point-and-click interface. It can improve system performance by tuning Internet and file caching settings and by implementing RAM disks, and improve startup performance by eliminating duplicate or orphaned Login Items. It also allows you to repair disk permissions for OS X and OS 9, rebuild application library prebindings, force delete files and folders, force empty the trash, optimize file cache and Internet settings, prioritize apps, clean “.DS_Store” window settings files, and more.
If you’re working in Mac OS X, you know what a pain it can be when you’re sharing files on your Mac with others—your fellow sharees can only see whatever is in your Public folder in your home directory. Thankfully, this nifty app allows you to share what you want, where you want. It also brings back users and group management to OS X.

This simple little tool lets you capture an image of whatever’s on your Mac’s screen. Just click a button to capture, and then drag the result from the interface to another app or to the Finder. You can have the app capture the entire screen, a window, or a selection. You can also choose to save the capture as a JPEG, PNG, or TIFF file. Works better than OS X’s Command-Shift-3 capture, and best of all—it’s free!
