At the July 2, 2009 SMMUG meeting, Mark Pimentel will present a program called “A Mixed
Bag Of Mac Tricks.”
This will be about one hour of quick and dirty tips, tricks and techniques that a Mac user might
not be familiar with for the applications on their computer. It’ll be focused on the Leopard
(10.5.7) version of the OS-X operating system, and the newest iLife ’09 and iWork ’09
applications. However, there should be enough generic tips for even those who are still running
Tiger or Panther on their Macs.
His main goal will be to have everyone who attends say to themselves at least once during the
presentation “Dang! I wish I knew that little trick before! I can’t wait to use it.” A minor goal
is also to finish on time.
Be sure to bring a pencil and notepad to jot down the tricks that are relevant so you can check
them out on your Mac as soon as you get home from the meeting.

...I use a product called iBiz from IGG Software to track the time spent and money earned on various projects for clients. It works pretty well for me, so I set out to try their financial software, iBank, as a replacement for Quicken. If iBank isn’t the best financial tracking software for the Mac, it isn’t because their people aren’t trying their best to make it so. In my three+ month relationship with it, I have given up twice only to restart and be more impressed with the bug fixes and new features...

iPaste
Submitted by LD on Tue, 2008-12-30 11:40. reviewsiPaste.pdf (125.8 KB)
Do you have strings of text (like your company address, phone numbers or email address) or graphics (like your company logo) that you constantly type in by hand every time they are needed? Then you might want to take a look at the program iPaste. iPaste is somewhat like the old OS 7 Scrapbook but with a twist. As with Scrapbook, you can place text and graphics in it that can be pasted into your applications when needed, but unlike Scrapbook, it also remembers the last few items you copied to the clipboard (the default is set to remember the last 10 items, but it lets you specify the number to be remembered).
FontAgent Pro
Submitted by LD on Mon, 2008-12-01 19:37. reviewsFontAgent Pro.pdf (353.13 KB)
FontAgent Pro is a font maintenance utility. With it you can optimize, organize, activate, and deactivate fonts in Mac OS X.
If you are relatively new to the Mac, you may wonder whether you need a font management utility. Well, if you pull down your fonts menu and only a handful of fonts appear-you probably don’t need this program. But on the other hand, if when you pull down your font menu you see a long line of fonts listed-you need this program.
