SOFTWARE OF THE DAY - OMIC & SEASHORE

Hi All, Key Combination of the Day Command-Option-Esc Pressing -Option-Esc (Command-Option-Esc) brings up the Force Quit window where you can terminate any currently-running application. This is useful if a program stops responding and you want to close it. (In most cases when you think your system is frozen its actually just a program which is misbehaving.) Shareware of the Day: OMiC - work with Microsoft Outlook winmail.dat files in Apple Mail. Browser attachment of a winmail.dat file like other attachments Most of the time you receive winmail.dat files from Microsoft Outlook users who send mails with attachments. You can try to convert these with other tools, but nothing is so seamles integrated into Apple Mail as OMiC. Convert Schedules, Appointments and Task for iCal Microsoft Outlook sends information of schedules also as plain text, but it is not very Mac-a-like to copy and past this into iCal. OMiC converts this for you so that it look like a schedule from another Mac user. Convert Contacts for Address Book Microsoft Outlook doesn't send any plain text information of the contact in the mail, so there is no way without OMiC to get the contacts, unless the user exports a vCard. Update checker When you start Apple Mail, OMiC checks for the latest available update. So you use always the latest version.

It features gradients, textures and anti-aliasing for both text and brush strokes. It supports multiple layers and alpha channel editing. It is based around the GIMP's technology and uses the same native file format. However, unlike the GIMP, Seashore only aims to serve the basic image editing needs of most computer users, not to provide a replacement for professional image editing products. Seashore was created by Mark Pazolli who, together with a handful of other developers and helpful users, still develops it to this day.
