Today's WebSiteNotes has some cool software for both Macs and Windows. I was on my usual way to find Windows software when I received an email. This is what it said:

Hello:

I noticed that every one of the tools you listed in your last newsletter was for Windows machines. As a Mac OS user of many years I was disappointed to see such a one-sided collection of tools.

How about a nod to the Mac users out here in cyber-land?

So Duncan, here are a couple to start. It's a bit harder finding Mac software, so if any of you out there know of some good software (Mac and Windows) that you would like to share with the rest of the WebSiteNotes readers, send an email to: Pete@WebSiteNotes.com

Best Wishes,
Pete,
