iStat is working fine now, at least for me. I haven’t read of any cases where it wouldn’t refresh but I suspect that it would have something to do with the hardware.

Yes, Apple defends that uninstalling is a mere drag to the Trash but some rogue preference files get left behind. It’s not essential to delete them, though.

I’m not a switcher, but some of this was new to me. I had iStat about 2 years ago, and I found that it just wouldn’t be right a lot of the time. I had to restart the program to get it to update. Is the new iStat better? Also… AppZapper? for years “uninstalling” was for Windows machines- am I missing something? I just trash the application and delete any stray program files and move on…

Thanks for this post. Does anyone know how either “Teamviewer or Schnitz Remote Lite” work on Linux OS?

Aw c’mon, you’ve gotta free your MBP! You can give it to me if you’re not gonna use it But seriously, if you start using it, you’ll find that its simpler and easier to use. There’s a slightly learning curve for sure.

Thanks for this post. I glommed onto Evernote and Skitch for later. See, I’m a switch-wannabe. I’ve had a Macbook Pro for about a year, waiting for my Windows laptop to die.
Currently, the Mac beauty sits patiently in the corner and does a great job of playing Pandora (Smooth Jazz) for me while I work.

But I hear it calling me like a sea-faring siren away from my comfortable Windows land-lubber world. I’m coming, gorgeous… bear with me just a little longer. I have a few more documents to type on my all-too-familiar Windows machine.

Is it that hard to imagine NTFS write support under Macs is sketchy considering Microsoft like it that way? I don’t think so. If Microsoft wanted interoperability they’d have briefed everyone on the spec from day one. It has taken many, many years to decipher NTFS without Microsoft’s help.

This is a great list. I am already using some of them.

In place of AppCleaner, I am using App Trap as it is lightweight and did the job well in removing the unwanted files.

I prefer NeoOffice to OpenOffice. OpenOffice 3.0 seems too bulky and laggy for me.
