Mac freeware?

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

So now that Angela has switched over to using the Mac as her main machine, we’ve discovered a couple of freeware programs she had loaded on her PC that she’d like to find replacements for. Namely a nice freeware Antivirus and non-command line FTP program! Having never used a Mac as my main machine I’m not as adept at finding good freeware for it. Anyone have any suggestions on these programs or who can point me to some good general Mac freeware sites?

I’d forgotten about how gawd-awful the Microsft Windows File Associations web service is. I don’t remember ever getting a file with no program associated and clicked the “click here to get information on the programs needed to open this file” and found actual useful information, most times it’s just like this: http://shell.windows.com/fileassoc/0409/xml/redir.asp?Ext=mdi The sad thing…

I went looking today for information on upgrading Angela to Panther and this little tidbit, at the top of the page, caught my eye: Mac OS X has evolved. The fourth major release in just three years, Panther offers breakthroughs in innovation, ease of use and reliability that wonÂ?t be seen in other operating systems…

Yeah, I know, I made a typing error and breakfast in bed turned into breakfast in BAD. I wasn’t trying to insinuate that there was anything but breakfast, I just have this typing/spelling problem. Usually I rely on a good spell check, but, obviously, bad didn’t turn up as a bad spelling so I missed…

Troubleshooting

With the problems that YACCS has been having, I finally decided that enough was enough and switched Angela’s blog over to a local commenting system, hosted on my domain. Everything worked out fine except, for some reason, she’s not getting the automatic emails that are generated when someone leaves a comment. I have it setup…
