Look At All These Great Mac Applications
I got an email from Apple Computers today. My computer has been shipped and is scheduled to be here on the Aug 27th. I am so excited I cannot even describe it.
I have a little wish list of programs I want to use on my Mac that will dramatically help me in my internet marketing business endeavors:
1. The easiest way to make websites. This will blow my current methods out of the water-

You can actually drag and drop things into your webpages and change your templates on a whim without starting over again.
2. Make online screencapture videos with snapzprox. http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/
3. Record interviews on Skype with Wiretap.

That is my current wish list. I know that the Mac computer comes with a 30 day trial of iWork, which has a program called Keynote that can create really sweet online presentations.
I have just been so impressed about the wonderful programs that are available for Macs. It truly is great for Internet Marketers.
Oh, do you want to run Windows on your Mac? You can! I found out there is a program called Parallels Desktop that allows you to run all of your Windows software on your Mac computer.

. Just make sure you got a good bit of RAM if you decide to go that route.
Alright that is enough plugs for Mac for one night. *wink*
Progress Overview
I’ve only had my MacBook for a couple of months now so I’m still learning all it can do. Thanks for posting this link, I’ll have to look at all of the links in the morning. I like using Skitch. I heard about it when Ed Dale mentioned it during the 30dc and I had to try it out. Are you doing the 30dc too?
VMWare (who has a long history with this kind of software) just came out with a competitor to Parallels called Fusion. From what I hear it’s superior in terms of speed and memory usage. Parallels doesn’t work very well with only 1GB of ram in my experience.
what kind of mac did you order?
Jason, I am glad you told me because my mac is only coming with 1gb of ram.
Laura, I am going to check into Skitch. I have been checking in to the 30dc here and there. After the tumblr blog fiasco I haven’t done anything else with it.
Chris, I am getting a 20-inch iMac. Pretty sweet. :)http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?nnmm=browse&mco=163AA6A5&node=home/desktop/imac
