Surviving with Leopard
Zaphu is at it again, this time with a list of Mac freeware that remains necessary even after Apple’s latest OS release. When last we looked, Zaphu had listed freeware apps made redundant by Leopard.
The list of freeware we still need has some interesting picks. I especially agree with the choices of media player VLC and FTP client Cyberduck. Quicktime can play just about anything VLC can, but you often have to download the codecs and these sometimes have strings attached to them. As for FTP, you can still use the Go menu to connect to a server, but it remains read only. It really is surprising that something as basic as FTP isn’t built into the system.
See for yourself what else Zaphu considers necessary.
