DownloadComment Safari Plugin

Another great Mac app from Ecamm Network:

I installed the new DownloadComment v 1.1 and it works absolutely perfectly.

"When you download things in Safari, DownloadComment will put the original URL into the saved file's Spotlight Comments. Now you'll always know where your downloads came from. Keep track of where your downloads came from. The Comments field can be accessed in the Finder by choosing to "Get Info" on a file.

This functionality was part of most browsers on OS 9 but is missing from Safari. DownloadComment brings it back. "

New in v1.1 : Now works with Safari 2.0 and OS X 10.4. Comment is now added to files saved using the Save As menu option or contextual menu.

System Requirements:
PPC or Intel
Safari 1.2 and higher

How To Use New iPod on OS9

Wow, this opens up the iPod entirely.



"after a few hours of hacking, I discovered the key to getting the new iPod to work with OS 9.2.1 is to down load and install iTunes 2.0.2. To access the hidden music files on new iPod is really quite simple using the Norton Disk Editor."

iChatUSBCam

"iUSBCam from Ecamm Network is an add-on for iChat which allows you to use a USB webcam for video conferencing. It also enables Chat video conferencing on Macs which otherwise fall below Apple's system requirements for conferencing.

For example, with iUSBCam, you can use a Logitech QuickCam for video chat, or an iSight with a 500 MHz iBook."

I bought this up quick to use with my iBot FireWire web cam.
