OSX Shareware Firewall
If you're using OS X and on the lookout for excellent shareware and freeware, don't miss the programs being written by designer Brian Hill. His utilities get the seal of approval from respected Mac advisor Schoun Regan. If you're looking for firewall software, Brian's "Brickhouse" comes highly recommended, and there are several other excellent programs you might find useful.

The Most Useful Shareware
Have you ever had a whole list of things to copy and paste from one document to another? Back and forth, back and forth, wouldn't it be great if there was some way to copy more than ONE individual item at a time??
There is!!
The one piece of shareware I use most often and would hate to live without is "CopyPaste" from ScriptSoftware. It lets me copy up to 100 items, individually, and then go paste them where I want them to be. No one who does more with their Mac than play games should be without it!!
