Information Week’s Apple expert John Welch posted 22 Mac Apps that he recommends for every Mac user. In reading his post and looking at the Apps he suggested I have found some I will be testing. I am testing Transmit 3, which is an FTP client from Panic Software. I tried the previous version, but I didn’t stick with it because it didn’t ‘remember’ my sites correctly. It was a pain. So far Transmit 3 has done well, I have 2 more sites to test before I can render a decision.
He also features Microsoft’s Entourage, Microsoft’s RDP Client, TypeIt4Me [which I plan to test], Parallels Desktop for Mac [which is cheaper than Mac Office], Boot Camp, SnapZ Pro X, and many more. I will warn you that some of them have a hefty price tag, like Apple Remote Desktop [299$ for 10 machines], while other’s are free, Microsoft’s RDP Client for the Mac. I have used the RDP Client for remote access and it worked rather well – I am impressed with it.
Check them out, John did a good job putting this list together.
