Fareham — Jul 27th 2013

A virtue of having only a few members attend a meeting is that the discussions and information sharing involves only one conversation which involves all the attendees. Today we only had 5 members attending which suited the topic which was a "Show and Tell" session where the members were invited to describe the free and cheap applications that they find useful. Given that we are expecting the summer to be over and the weather to close in, the applications discussed will provide the attendees with something to do during grey evenings.

Applications discussed were:
Teamviewer, Logmein both remote access apps to control remote machines.

Find Any File - preferred by some to Spotlight

Drop Copy - think AirDrop but with less restrictions re OSX version and machines.

Gimp and Pixelmator photo editing applications.

VirtualBox - enables multiple Operating Systems to run under OSX

HandBrake a video transcoder - transfer DVDs to the Mac harddrive.

Macaroni - a Mac housekeeping application

Labelist - produce labels from the Contacts application as well as other labels, supports the well known makes of sticky labels.

SnapnDrag - a more sophisticated form of screen grabbing and storage of the created Jpeg files. Work well with Preview if the image is to be annotated.

and so on until we ran out of time.

To get more information on these applications - Google is your friend.
