Xsee 1.5.5 is an Aqua image browser and viewer, with converter tools and a slide show. Changes include unix file alias support, improvements to the slide show feature, and minor bug fixes.

iChoose 0.1 is a simple Menu extra that stores URLs for quick access.

X3 0.1.1 depicts the system load using a 3D object displayed in the Dock.

Baker 1.3 is a Usenet download utility. This version adds speed improvements, downloads sorted by folders, a single step manual selection process, cosmetic improvements, and more.

VST Dual Media Reader X 10.1 is the latest driver for this compact flash/smart media reader.

Microtech USB CameraMate and SnapSHOT SmartMedia 1.02 is the latest driver for this film card reader.

Update: Peter Trinder writes: "I have tested the USB Reader with both Compact Flash and SmartMedia and it all works as designed, opening Image Capture copying the images into your chosen destination."
