Three Software Utilities

I am not a big user of software utilities – but these three all seem to provide some real added value to those that live in a mac …. my thanks to ‘showker AT spamcop DOT net’ for the summaries that I replay below.

A Clean Desktop Is Easy, Really It Is

Developed by a notoriously messy Macintosh computer user with a computer Desktop so full of icons and trash the program’s development was almost mandatory.
