- In the realm of virus protection, I like the Disinfectant INIT,
- part of Disinfectant which of course is not primarily an init, but
- *is* free :-)
-
- For sounds, I like SndControl a little better than SoundMaster.
- It's part of Ricardo Ettore's Sound Manager Package.
-
- ProSwitch is handy, lets me click on the System 7 application menu
- icon and switch apps System 6 style, with the added advantage of
- optionally hiding the frontmost application when doing so.
-
- Extensions Manager, lets you keep track of all the little buggers
- and turn them on/off individually. Version 1.8 also lets you
- track other things besides control panels and extensions, and lets
- you save worksets.
-
- Get More Info, brings up a different Finder box when option-Get
- Info is invoked, lets you view and edit things like file type and
- creator, and setting Finder flags.

- My $0.02
