Here are mine…. Docker - which allows one to choose from a number of menu appearances in case you are not, as I am, particularly happy with Apple's default. Menu Eclipse 2 - which allows the menu bar to be hidden when not in use, something I find pleasing as the continuously visible, to me, conflicts with my desktop background. MenuEverywhere - which allows you to bring up the menu without you having to go up to the top of the screen, particularly useful with large screens. MouseLocaterAgent - which helps you to locate the mouse, again quite useful when one has a very large display. So, I'd be interested in what others might find as part of their daily computing experience. -- James Leo Ryan - Austin, Texas
