PACHEC  The idea is to run Windows applications without running Windows. That means:

- do not use system resources (memory, CPU, etc.) to run a second Operating System;

- do not pay a $300-licence for that Operating System.

PACHEC  Have you tried Camino?

PACHEC  If you want to save a form filled with Adobe Reader (not just print it, as Adobe want force you to do), use CUPS-PDF [url]http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/20219[/url]  
(Version 8.0)

PACHEC  Try VLC Media Player

PACHEC  Excellent small utility. It let you remove easily the dock icon of applications which should never have had an icon in the Dock (HardwareGrowler [in Growl:Extras], LaunchBar, ...) But it is easy to misuse it if you are careless:

WARNING 1. Dockless not only removes the dock icon, but also the menu bar. (Do read the ReadMe file!) Moreover, in some cases (when you log out...), the system could let a dockless (and menuless) application quit without warning you. Therefore, do not use Dockless with any app!

WARNING 2. Hiding dock icon and menu of an application does not affect you only, but every user (you cannot hide dock & menu for one user only).

WARNING 3. Dockless seems to not work properly with some apps (e.g., Preview.app, as noted in a previous review).  
(Version 1.3.3)

PACHEC  You can remove LaunchBar icon from the dock with Dockless:

BUT, BEFORE DOING THAT, read carefully the "Important Note" in the LauchBar Help, section "Tips & Tricks".

PACHEC  AlphaX is an excellent, highly customizable editor, especially for programming. But real customization is hard if you haven't good programming skill.

However, a very important lacking feature is encoding support: presently, only macRoman is supported; therefore AlphaX is hardly usable for files using other encodings.

Latest versions of AlphaX for Panther and Jaguar can be found at:

PACHEC  Excellent (S)FTP client. A interesting feature "forgotten" in the previous reviews is its Growl support.
