I was going through my Apple bookmarks and was feeling unsatisfied with the pages I've bookmarked. Not all of them. Just some. So I'm starting this thread so I can add some flavour to bookmarks. I'm also linking to my one really useful link.
Apple Software Dump! (http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/apple/) This is the one stop repository for oldish Apple software. The link was dead for a while but has since been reborn.
I guess what I'm looking for is a site for shareware/freeware but with real reviews. Not the usual crap user reviews of VersionTracker and MacUpdate.

and I assume you already frequent AtAT... (see sig)

I'd never actually read as the apple turns until you pointed it out. What an odd bit of oddness.
No one else has any linkage??? :confused: :eek: :|

well, this is a subsite of one of the greatest nerd news pages on the "net": apple /. (http://apple.slashdot.org/)
Wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.org) - I simply use this everyday for little refreshers or new tidbits.
Great site for tips on visiting/living in Thailand. (http://www.philipwilliams.freeservers.com/) - Might sound a bit jaded in places but better to know and be aware of certain real-world things before going.
