Re: Macintosh: Most recommended software list?
Heh. I didn't even realize there was a built in firewall. Thanks!
So essentially, having an antivirus program really isn't necessary at this point?
Now I need to figure out how to set up the firewall so that I can download Grateful Dead shows off etree via bit torrent without keeping the entire computer open...

ClamXAV is a good free anti-virus program for Mac.

Re: Macintosh: Most recommended software list?
Any suggestions on a Firefox plugin to open PDFs within the browser? I found one for my workplace G4, but that's getting replaced by a Mac Pro soon. I did a search but it looks as though the best one can do is have the file download to a temp folder and open with Preview.

Does Acrobat not support Firefox?

Did you figure it out, Carl? It's pretty easy, but I can help if you need me.

Re: Macintosh: Most recommended software list?
In the Firewall tab, click "New..."
For Port Name, Select "Other"
Put
6881-6889
In the TCP Port Number(s):
And
Bittorrent
In Description:
Click OK.
Make sure that Bittorrent is checked.
Much easier than trying to fiddle with the /sbin/ipfw utility, but fairly basic.

Re: Macintosh: Most recommended software list?
Xee Blows Preview out of the competition for viewing directories of images. Especially if your a switcher use to Irfanview. By the maker of The Unarchiver.
Quote:
Xee is a lightweight, fast and convenient image viewer and browser. It is designed to be a serious tool for image viewing and management, with a sleek and powerful interface.
Xee is useful as a more powerful replacement for Preview, or most any other image viewer available on Mac OS X. It is very fast, and uses less memory than most other image viewing tools. It also uses OpenGL to display and scroll images much more smoothly than other viewers. Its interface is highly streamlined and has easily configurable keyboard shortcuts.
Xee can:
* Display a large number of image formats - any format QuickTime or Preview can open, plus several more, including PCX, Maya IFF and Amiga IFF-ILBM.
* Easy browse through folders of images - open any file in a folder and use the toolbar, keyboard shortcuts or mouse wheel to view the other images in the same folder.
* Browse image inside archives, if The Unarchiver is installed. It can read almost every format The Unarchiver can, which include Zip, Rar, 7-Zip, Lzh and StuffIt. It also supports the CBZ and CBR formats, which are just renamed Zip and Rar files, respectively.
* Losslessy rotate and crop JPEG images. This lets you edit your digital photographs without losing quality by re-compressing them like most other editors do.
* Effortlessly copy, move, rename and delete of images while viewing.
* View more EXIF data for JPEG files than Preview.
* View images in full-screen.

(I cannot vouch for the OS X version, but the original version worked like a charm on my PowerBook 5300 in the mid-90's.)
He obviously misinterpreted what it means to "be bullish."
