 Use Norrkross MorphX for calculating images or movies where one image transforms into another. Simply drag 2 images to the document window, drag a few lines to indicate similar areas and Norrkross MorphX calculates images so that it looks like the first image magically is transformed into the other. You can save the morph as as still image snapshot or as a full animated QuickTime movie. |

QuickSilver blacktree.com Mac OSX |
 Possibly my favorite utility ever created for OSX. It is hard to describe what the program does exactly. But I guess it could be called a application launcher. Basically you press the specified shortcut key, and then start typing the title of what you want to launch be it a program, address book entry, bookmark, etc. Sounds simple, but it can have a big impact on the way you navigate OSX. |

 An excellent addition to any elementary school who uses locally managed accounts in OSX and has students manually mount their home folders. Just put MyHome in the dock, and no more "I forgot how to get to my server." |

 The ultimate web programming and design test tube. Both WAMP and MAMP are self-contained environments running Apache, MySql, and PHP.

WAMP is for Windows, and MAMP for Mac folk. |

Tux Paint www.tuxpaint.org Mac OSX, Windows, Linux |

 An excellent piece of software made by the folks at Google to organize, edit, and share your digital photos. Very much the equivalent to iphoto for those poor people not fortunate enough to have a Mac. |
