John Welch’s 22 Lesser Mac Apps

Information Week’s Apple expert John Welch posted 22 Mac Apps that he recommends for every Mac user. In reading his post and looking at the Apps he suggested I have found some I will be testing. I am testing Transmit 3, which is an FTP client from Panic Software. I tried the previous version, but I didn’t stick with it because it didn’t ‘remember’ my sites correctly. It was a pain. So far Transmit 3 has done well, I have 2 more sites to test before I can render a decision.

He also features Microsoft’s Entourage, Microsoft’s RDP Client, TypeIt4Me [which I plan to test], Parallels Desktop for Mac [which is cheaper than Mac Office], Boot Camp, SnapZ Pro X, and many more. I will warn you that some of them have a hefty price tag, like Apple Remote Desktop [299$ for 10 machines], while other’s are free, Microsoft’s RDP Client for the Mac. I have used the RDP Client for remote access and it worked rather well – I am impressed with it.

Check them out, John did a good job putting this list together.
