I have been using Macintosh now for about 6 months and would never switch banck to Windoes. And I am enthralled by all the available software that I did not imagine would have existed. I highly reccomend SOCKS 1.1.2 and the earlier SOX version, they are both, I feel, fantastic pieces of Software for the Mac. The easyness of use is of course there too. And, I must mention that the SOCKS misses a few features of the earlier version (SOX) but people - keep your eyes peeled, because the author is due to release an other version soon that will include all the features of both versions!!
