There are a number of time-saving applications out there for computer users, and this latest addition of the Butler program may be one that is worth a look. Butler has a number of functions, including a bookmark manager, a web search utility (with the use of hot keys or from the menu bar), and as a pasteboard extension. This version of Butler is compatible with all systems running Mac OS X 10.2. [KMG]



NewsMac 3.1

Despite the presence of thousands of websites devoted to news, it is still difficult to sort out the proverbial wheat from the chaff, especially if one has very specific requirements. One such application that may help rectify this condition is NewsMac 3.1. This versatile RSS news aggregator allows users to view news headlines and story descriptions originating from over 120 built-in news feeds. Some of the features of the program include the ability to highlight keywords, the Feed Finder which lets users find new feeds quickly, and the ability to sync news stories to PDA units. This version of NewsMac is compatible with all systems running Mac OS X 10.3 [KMG]
