If you've been sitting patiently, waiting for Toon Boom Animation to finally release a full-featured Mac OS X version of Toon Boom Studio, it's here. It's here, and it's wonderful.

Before most children are taught by marketers that they have to strive to be cool, they instinctively strive to discover and learn. Of course, like adults, they also strive to have fun. I'm willing to wager that, in many ways, the developers at Freeverse like to have the same kind of fun. How else could they create a web browser with the purpose of restricting access to websites of...uh...questionable content and still make it the most entertaining web browsing experience we've experienced yet?

With the Toast 6 Titanium box containing everything many users need to make their mix CDs and burn video, what would Roxio do with the Toast with Jam package? They'd refine their audience and taylor the improvements specifically towards that audience, thereby creating a powerful and streamlined set of audio/video tools aimed more towards professionals...although general consumers can benefit from a lot of this as well.

The PageMaker Plug-In Pack provides two separate opportunities for two separate groups. On one hand, the PageMaker Plug-In Pack provides familiar key commands and tools for PageMaker users migrating to InDesign. On the other hand, it provides new tools and functions that should have been in InDesign for some time. The PageMaker Plug-In Pack is a win-win for everyone.

iStopMotion brings to your Mac the capability to put together stop motion animation sequences. Stop motion animation is the art of creating movement on film by taking single pictures of physical objects. Think Wallace and Gromit, those annoying singing raisins, or (yes!) sword fighting skeletons. What's more, iStopMotion makes this incredibly easy to pull off, and quite fun, as well.

A worthy replacement for Disk Doctor and more, plus the ComputerGuardian security program

I'll explain straight off that BIAS's Peak 4 offers much more than special effects. In fact, audio effects may be one of the facets of the program you simply don't use too often. After you see how it can be used to clean up and accentuate standard audio (dialogue, music and such), you'll find yourself running everything through Peak.

If you have anything remotely significant on your hard drive, there is nothing more important than backing that up. That is, if all you use your computer for is to play card games and surf the web, you probably do not have anything you would miss if your computer was destroyed in a fire. On the other hand, if you are writing a novel or term paper, doing your taxes, or completing your family tree on your computer, it's likely that the total loss of your computer would be devastating.
