i remember when i made the jump from dos to windows the pain of leaving behind some of my favorite software. borland’s sidekick, superkey and another program called on-time which was a calendar/reminder type program. all three of those were tsr’s. i got over that eventually, although it took a long time before a really gook keyboard/mouse macro program came along for windows.

i won’t run through all the windows programs that i really like, you can always hit the archives for that, but this brings me to feeling the pain from moving from windows to mac.

i don’t miss stardock’s objectdock, because there’s a mac program called ‘drag thing’ which is just as good. i miss windowblinds a little bit, but i found i wasn’t changing the skins very often anyway.

i don’t miss microsoft’s onenote anymore now that i found notebook. evernote is ok and i use it, but it’s not notebook.

i use the builtin mac stickies utility but somebody really needs to write one that can do what notezilla does (the abiity to pin a note to a specific application/window).

if there’s a good keyboard/mouse program for the mac i haven’t found it yet. basically it needs to do what a combination of automater and keyboard maestro can do.

i’ll write about editors (again) in a separate blog
