• An Apple menu item called Stickies (formerly a third-party application called "PasteIt Notes") which provided virtual Post-It Notes.
• WindowShade, another former shareware control panel which provided the ability to condense a window down to its title bar.
• The Control Strip, a fast way to change the system volume, control the Apple Audio CD player, manage file sharing and printers, change the monitor resolution and color depth, etc.
• The Extensions Manager, another shareware control panel, which enabled the user to turn other extensions and control panels on and off.
• PowerTalk, the predecessor to Mac OS X's Keychain system and also a system-level system for handling email.
