Getting back to the topic here, I see WinX is giving away WinX HD Video Converter for Mac (valued at $39.95). If you want it, just go to: http://www.winxdvd.com/giveaway/

 

I just saw that pop up in my RSS reader.  I'll grab it the next time I use the Mac. Laugh

Oh, the site that was :(

Really blends in well, has a simple icon, and has a nice interface, right? Confused

Locutus: You have asked about good programs on a Mac forum, haven't you?

I'd guess folks there could probably give you a whole bunch of good ones to try.

@ Locutus: You might want to check out these sites and see if you can find some good stuff:

http://www.opensourcemac.org/

http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/

http://botw.org/articles/mac-freeware-apps.htm

http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/07/05/25-open-source-mac-apps-that-will-boost-your-productivity/

http://rangit.com/operating-systems/top-40-most-useful-free-mac-os-x-softwares/

http://www.macgamesandmore.com/downloadfreemacsoftware2.html

There's probably a fair bit of double-up in there, but you should find some good stuff.

I know what bootcamp is, but I don't see the reason to bootcamp a Hackintosh.

I'd rather not give a bad explaination of what I learned from hours of perusing the internet.

No, not in this case. Laugh  That means people that have opted into email notifications by clicking the "subscribe to this topic" button.  RSS is like http://feeds.feedburner.com/Locutus/Cogizio
