LKM  Buy them. Check out LucasArts' site, amazon.com or eBay. Many of these games are still being sold by LucasArts or distributors, often in compilations.

LKM  This application is simply awesome. I would gladly buy 20 bucks for it - the fact that it is free makes it even awesomer (and the fact that this application exists makes it neccessary for me to invent words like awesomer, because awesome alone just doesn't cut it). I just switched from a MythTV box to a Mac mini hooked up to my TV. Now I can control the Mac mini using my MacBook, which is sitting on the table anyway. I can use the Mac mini as if I had a wireless keyboard and mouse. I can even drop files to and from the mini, and I can copy something on the MacBook and paste it on the mini or vice-versa - great if I'm installing an app on the mini and need to type my password and paste the registration number which is stored on the MacBook.

In short, this is an utterly astonishingly cool and useful application. It feels so natural, it's almost as if it was a part of the OS itself.

LKM  I've tried all of the Mac Snippet Keepers: MacJournal, Devon Note, Stickies, StickyBrain, Circus Ponies Notebook, Yojimbo, xPad, some Notebook Widgets... You name it, I've tried it. I even bought some of these, but never could bring myself to actually use them for more than a day. I even started thinking about writing my own Snippet Keeper.

KIT changed all of that.

Taking a page out of the book of the iTunes organization scheme is a great idea. Using KIT just feels right. You automatically get organization by type, and you can add your own folder organization to it (note: hierarchical organization is not supported. That's okay with me since I like simplicity, but some people might mind). You can easily add notes, flies and links by drag-and-drop or by one of the other mechanisms for adding snippets - for example, the dock menu or a Service (although I would like some kind of global shortcut to show a simple "add note" screen).

The interface is very clean and nice to look at, with beautiful icons and a nice, Mail.app like layout. Everything looks and feels very "Mac-like."

The application is fast and stable. It has never crashed on me, and I never had to wait on it (although its reliance on Spotlight means that after you add a snippet to KIT, it takes a few seconds until it shows up in search results). Each file or snippet is stored as an individual file in your file system, which is an awesome idea. It means that Spotlight can find your stuff, and even more important, if you ever have any kind of trouble with KIT or access your data from a computer which doesn't have KIT, everything is still right there. Furthermore, when backing up, you only back up new or changed things, never the whole database of files and snippets.

One annoyance which may be showstoppers for some people: It doesn't support encryption. You can, however, tell KIT to store your data on an encrypted disk image.

Finally, the developer replies to mail very quickly (within a day in my case) and will listen to what you say (he implemented two of my suggestions for the next release of the application, which appeared within days of my mail).

All in all, this is a fast, stable, intuitive snippet keeper which doesn't cost as much as some of its competitors, but provides everything most people need and makes it a joy to keep snippets.

Definitely check out this application if you're looking for a snippet keeper, even if the other apps didn't work for you.
