From time to time, I stumble across posts that contain a ton of links to useful Mac apps. But, even with delicious.com bookmark tracking and/or sending the link to my email I still manage to lose track of those links.
Today, I stumbled across a really great list of Mac apps. And, rather than link to it on delicious or something like that, I’m going to do something that goes against my academic training (think plagiarism) but that agrees with my industry (the web) and copy the really great list to my blog, where I know that I’ll never misplace it.
But, before posting the list, I must, at the very least, give credit where credit is due: Thanks a ton to Grace Smith, who spent what appears to be a ton of time to carefully compile this list of links. I’m hoping that linking to her will be sufficient to offer credit where it is due. I’m also going to send her an email to let her know that I’ve borrowed her list and am repurposing it.
Anyways… Without further ado, here’s the list:
