For example, check out this app description: “… provides an icon in the menu bar to quickly access your installed applications by scanning standard locations such as local, user, network and developer applications.”, or this one “ … helps you to keep all applications, widgets, preference panes and application plugins installed on your Mac up to date.” This sort of thing makes me want to back slowly away from my computer. Lots of users will say “way cool!”, but some of us need…well..simple stuff.
So here is some simple stuff. Four free applications that are easy to use and very useful. Experienced users are welcome to try them as well.
SwordfishExpress 1.3
SwordfishExpress is designed for the individual who occasionally ships things. The person who doesn’t have a method of accurately weighing a package to determine postage. The person who may mail 5 or 6 packages a year.
The company also offers a paid version for the serious shipper. SwordfishExpress works with OS X 10.2.8 or greater and with both inkjet and laster printers.
What it does is create a package shipping label for you that assures your package is properly labeled and earns you a discount on postage if you take your package to the post office for mailing.
