SOFTWARE OF THE DAY - RAPIDWEAVER & MONOLINGUAL

Hi All, Key Combination of the Day Command-Shift-4 Pressing -Shift-4 (Command-Shift-4) changes the pointer to a crosshair so that you can take a rectangular picture of part of the screen. Place the crosshair in any corner of the area you want for the picture then click and drag diagonally to the opposite corner. A grey rectangle highlights the selected area as you drag. When you release the mouse button, a new file will be created on the Desktop named Picture n .png (OS X Tiger) or Picture n .pdf (OS X Panther) where n is a number. Holding down the Control key before releasing the mouse button places the picture in the Clipboard instead of creating a file. Shareware of the Day: RapidWeaver - Powerful Website Creation.

Monolingual is a program for removing unnecessary language resources from Mac OS X, in order to reclaim several hundred megabytes of disk space. It requires at least Mac OS X 10.3.9 (Panther) and also works on Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). I don't know about you, but I use my computer in only one (human) language — English. And I'm willing to bet that you do too, albeit perhaps not English. So why do you have a bunch of localization files for the Mac OS X operating system filling up your hard drive? Enter Monolingual — a handy utility for reclaiming your space for more useful things… like international mp3 files, email or whatever you like.
