Intuition 1.2i2 Archive, Presentation, Study Tool, MTML Web Browser [OS 10.2 up]
A fast solution to gathering important information that you've saved, want to find, or want to share.
• When you use the internet to view a website you load one page at a time. When you use Intuition to view an Intuition file you load the whole website with all of its pages. This allows you to receive a website with navigational search and retrieve, as well as using a tool that allows you to add to the website after you have loaded the original. You can take notes for each page. You can merge your original file with other Intuition files of the same topic. You can even take internet pages and transform them on import.
In life your own intuition tells you something about some situation or some person. When you use Intuition to view a well constructed Intuition website you can use the search and retrieve tools and the topical dictionary to show you specific points or parts of what you are reading. For an example say the topic was an article about history. With one button click the Intuition website could show you all the important dates in history that the article contains. It would return all these points of interest with an author created snippet in context relating to the topic with links back to each point by page referenced clickable links.
When you use Intuition to save important emails or internet information you can create your own keywords or phrases to save your own defined snippets in context relating to the topic you would like to find at a later time. So Intuition becomes a capture tool that works for you just like an Intuition website. The more you put into it the more you can get out of it. You can even use it to create your own websites that you can share with other Intuition users.
• Intuition is a multi-paged document tool for your computer that gives you a simple and easy way to store your favorite e-mail's, web page information, and other documents of interest. Intuition has powerful gathering and search capabilities that can make finding what you need and the page that it originated from as easy to use as remembering a key word or phrase in the category where you left it.
Now surf the new Intuition Net by using the Search Intuition Net search engine. This search engine is so new that there is nothing to surf yet and will grow as webmasters create Intuition websites and submit their website locations to the net. So we will all see if it is true, "if you build it they will come."

RubberDockey 1.22 App Switcher Bezel That Anticipates Your App Usage [OS X 10.3 up]
Do you get tired of constantly updating your Dock with your latest, most popular apps? Do you use a wide array of applications, but don't want to cramp up the Dock Menu with 15 + Items? Then this is the Utility for you!
RubberDockey provides you with a list of applications it believes you are likely to use next, in the form of an easily accessible "Command-Tab"- like menu. RubberDockey first watches and learns about your application behavior, and then bases its assumptions on what it's seen you use before.
More elegant features include:
• Define the number of applications you wish to see in the Dock menu.
• Added integration, with the ability to auto-launch RubberDockey on startup.
• Decay feature, which ensures that RubberDockey doesn't simply base its assumptions on the number of times you've used an application.
New in this version:
• Fixed a thread race condition.
• Greatly optimized performance.
• Fixed a bug that would cause RubberDockey to unexpectedly quit or display a blank menu when the path of an application was not found.
• Other minor bug fixes.
System requirements:
• Mac OS X 10.3 or later
RubberDockey is $5.00 shareware

WinShortcutter 1.0 Lets You Use Windows Shortcuts On Your Mac [OS X 10.3 up]
Do you work in a windows dominant environment? Are your network drives packed with Windows Shortcuts that point to directories and documents? If you want to follow these shortcuts - here is the answer: WinShortcutter!
WinShortcutter can follow Windows Shortcuts and open the corresponding document. If the Shortcut points to another network drive, WinShortcutter will also mount the drive before accessing the link. And if you want to do other Apple users a favor, you can also leave a proper Apple Alias aside of the Shortcut.
WinShortcutter works right out of the box. Just doubleclick a link and the corresponding document will open. If you want to create an alias in addition to following the shortcut, simply activate the option in the system preferences.
If your office network also allows AFP mounts, you can change the mount setting as well. Simply access the System Preferences for WinShortcutter.
Mounting network drives now opens a status window, as this operation might take some time. Especially mounts to not reachable drives can lead to a timeout of 2 minutes
