The Semi-Obscure MAC Software List

I own both a PC and a MAC. By no means am I a platform biggot. In fact, I embrace the qualities of both. As a teacher librarian, you kind of have to. I haven’t set foot in one school in Onondaga or Genesee county that has been running on an all Windows operating environment, or for that matter, on an all Apple operating environment. So, I feel that I need to be well versed in both.

When I come home to visit my parents, I always bring my iBook G4 running Tiger 10.4.5. It’s portability, battery, Airport (ease of use), GUI, etc… make it far superior to any portable PC running Windows XP, in my opinion.

I had some time this week, in between lesson planning and skiing (quite the combo, huh?), to surf around and try to optimize my iBook. On one of my 5 daily visits to Digg I noticed the following list:

Exactly the types of things I was looking for. Witch, Growl and Delicious Library are my current favorites.
