Glide 2.0

http://www.transmediacorp.com/glide_os.html

There are a number of helpful web suites out there, and Glide is certainly one of the better options available to interested parties. This version of Glide includes a word processor, a site builder, and a photo editor. Perhaps the most novel aspect of Glide is that it can effectively synchronize data from any local computer so that it can be accessed from mobile phones or other devices with web access. This version of Glide is compatible with computers running Windows 98 and newer. [KMG]



Quicksilver 1.0b53

http://docs.blacktree.com/quicksilver/what_is_quicksilver

For persons with hundreds of documents or files on their computer, searching around for a little-used (yet important) file can be very time consuming. Quicksilver can help users out with that problem as it creates a catalog of applications and a number of frequently used folders and documents. Each search is adaptive, so Quicksilver will be able to recognize which items a user is looking for based on previous experience. This version is compatible with computers running Mac OS X 10.3.
