OS X software sites #Most Mac users are familiar with VersionTracker and MacUpdate, but these three lesser-known sites are well worth a visit:
- HyperJeff's OS X Apps - Reportedly the oldest and largest list of OS X apps. Unique filtering options by license (open source, freeware, shareware, etc), type (Cocoa, Java, Unix, etc), and more.
- OSX Freewares - Bears more than a passing resemblance to TinyApps.Org. Though the site is in Japanese, Babelfish can help.
- Pure Mac - An excellent collection of the very best OS X, Classic, and iPhone apps. It's reported date of establishment (1996) is three years older than that of HyperJeff's OS X Apps.

Abandonware #Vetusware.com has an extensive collection of abandonware, including: operating systems (MS-DOS 6.22, Macintosh System 7, etc), compilers (WinDASM 8.9, TASM 5.0, Borland C++ Builder 5.5, etc), office apps (WordPerfect 5.1, Word 6.0, etc), databases (dBase 5.0, Paradox 5.0, FoxPro 2.6, etc), and much more.
UPDATE 1: Brian in Forth Worth wrote in to share his experience and opinion:
What is UP with the website vestusware.com? After going to the site and registering (several times) there was never a password supplied, either real-time, or by email. Even using the "lost, or forgotten" password reset function (P/W was to be sent to email address) did not result in a password being given. I am beginning to suspect a *re-direction* to a malicious site....?UPDATE 2: John in Whittlesea, Victoria, Australia (whew!) kindly wrote in to share his experience, which differed markedly from Brian's:
I had no problem at all with Vetusware - I signed up, received my password by email, logged in, and was able to download a program (it wasn't what I hoped for - but that's not Vetusware's fault). I'd suggest that Brian in Fort worth has a problem with his email.

Printing multiple years with Unix cal command #The cal (calendar) command apparently does not include an argument for displaying multiple years. Happily, bash supports numeric ranges / step values / brace expansions as of version 3, so one possible solution is:
$ for y in {2000..2009}; do cal $y; done

Just say no to HTML email and proprietary attachments #The ASCII Ribbon Campaign "opposes any and all HTML e-mail, and e-mail with proprietary attachments" for a number of reasons, including: poor/non-existent rendering support in many email clients, the sheer overhead and waste of bandwidth, difficulties for the blind and others who cannot use a GUI, and security risks inherent in HTML email. Two related posts from 2004: Circumventing didtheyridit | HTML email considered harmful.
