C.HILDING While this is "just" a front-end for the command-line utility "lipo"* it does it with the ease and style that we're accustomed to on the Mac platform; and even if you ARE the kind of masochist user who wouldn't mind using "lipo" on your own you'll still benefit greatly from Xslimmer's blacklist feature, which prevents slimming applications that would cease to work afterwards. At $11.95 you can't go wrong; I give this program 5 out of 5, it's essential on any Mac! * See, Apple has humor, "fat binaries", "lipo", get it? :-) Other essential applications in the system cleaning category: * Monolingual (free), removes language packs that you don't need. * CleanApp ($10), my uninstaller of choice, it monitors file system actions taken by all installed programs so that when you're ready to delete them it finds every file the program has ever used. It is MUCH more thorough than the previous king, AppZapper (which is now behind times). * Disk Inventory X (free), scans through your selected hard drives/folders and gives you a breakdown of what is actually stealing all that disk space; I've reclaimed tens of gigabytes with this program by finding large, old files that I didn't know I still had hidden around the disk.
