[QUOTE="hclincha, post: 650265, member: 19887"] [B]LittleSnitch.[/B] Tells you what programs try to connect to the internet, and allows you to decide whether or not they do.' [B]NeoOffice[/B] Free, albeit somewhat unpolished, office suite for mac. Based on the OpenOffice.org code. I started using this after discovering that it's somewhat better with backwards compatibility than Office 08. Added bonus: it's stable as rock, at least in comparison with Office 08. And it supposedly has some VBA compatibility. [B]Quicksilver[/B] Already mentioned, but this is a great program. It's an app-launcher and much more. Saves up a lot of Dock space, and is simpler than using the Dock much of the time. [B]Fink and Macports[/B] Lots of great ports to Mac of open source programs. Requires some use of the Terminal though, so if you're not into that might as well leave it alone. [/QUOTE]
