Hi WebSiteNotes Readers,
Today's issue has some fun and useful software for both Windows and
Mac users. I want to thank all the readers who sent in information
and tips about where I might find some good Mac software. In fact,
the first two in the Mac "department" come from Phil Coates, one of
our readers. Thanks Phil. I will put up some of the other software
in the next few WebSiteNotes. Additionally, since I did receive some
great responses, I ask all users of Windows and Mac software if
you guys have some favorite software that you want to share with the
rest of the group, feel free to send me an email with them and I'll
put it on the newsletter. Thank you guys!
