Mac Applications


The following is a fairly complete list of applications I have recently installed on my Macbook laptop, in addition to Apple pre-loaded software like iLife, Photobooth, etc. I created this for folks who may be interested in downloading / obtaining additional applications for their Mac computer(s). These are listed in alphabetical order, and include web links to each application. I also have created a chronological listing of applications as I re-installed them on a new hard drive in May 2008. The following codes apply: C=commercial, F = Free or Open Source, N= No longer available as far as I know. (Last updated: 15 June 2008)
