Top 17 Best Free Tools And Utilities For Your Mac.
An Encore Review from Alexis’ Mac Grab Bag of History.
We love Top 10 Lists, and we love free utilities and tools for our Macs. The problem is squeezing all the great free Mac software down to just 10.
After trying really hard, 17 is close enough. They’re the best, they’re free, and they don’t include Firefox or Thunderbird.
Yes, they’re free, they’re good, but everyone knows it so let me not clutter my list. Think of it as the letters R S T L N in Wheel of.... (excerpted).

ImageWell is’nt free anymore, but you would have known this if you had of researched the article before you posted it to the web.

Nvu hasn’t been supported in a while. The new and supported “Nvu” is now KompoZer - http://www.kompozer.net/
ImageWell is no longer Free. Still worth every dime.

AppleJack does not work on 10.5 Leopard. This should be noted so that someone does not make their machine worse than is already was.
Editor’s Note: Which is why we noted such for ‘Tiger’ users.
