"Why all the fuss about backup?

Chances are you have a lot of important stuff on your computer like financial documents, email, digital photos, music and more. Unfortunately, computers are vulnerable to hard drive crashes, virus attacks, theft and natural disasters, which can erase everything in an instant."

ShoveBox for Mac & iPhone

"ShoveBox for Mac catches all those little scraps of information that you can't act on now but would rather not forget. It sits up in your menubar, waiting for you to drag in text, images, URLs, and more.

It also provides a sensible interface to sort everything you shoved. It's all about spending less time processing and more time actually working on the things that matter."

System Requirements:
Mac OS X 10.4 or higher.


ShoveBox for iPhone: Capture, view, organize, and edit data on-the-go. And sync wirelessly with your Mac. Use it to take web archives with you on the train to read offline, or take field notes for later review.

ShoveBox for iPhone puts the power of the desktop version in your pocket.

System Requirements:
Requires an iPhone or iPod Touch with iPhone OS v3.1 or higher.

Mini vMac for Mac OS X

"The goal of the Mini vMac project is to help preserve software made for early Macintoshemulators that allow such software to be used on modern computers. The first member of this family emulates the Macintosh Plus.

Mini vMac began in 2001 as a spin off of the program vMac. It was originally intended to be of limited interest, a simpler version to serve as a programmers introduction to vMac. But vMac hasn’t been updated in many years, so Mini vMac may now be considered its continuation.

The “Mini” in the name now means that each emulator in the family is as small and simple as possible. The meta program and data that generate the emulators (the Mini vMac build system) is rather bigger. Besides the Macintosh Plus, there are also emulations of the Macintosh 128K, 512K, 512Ke, SE, Classic, and SE FDHD. Work is in progress on Macintosh II emulation. There are also numerous other options.



Mini vMac requires a ROM image file to run, and so can be legally used only by those who own a 680x0 based Macintosh. This leads to the question, if you need to own the real computer to use it, what is the use of the emulator? First, a real Macintosh won’t last forever. It is common for the power supply to fail. It is still legal to use the emulation after the real computer breaks. And second, the emulation is more convenient than the real thing. It is much faster (on modern computers) and you can use a better screen, keyboard, and mouse. And it is easier to transfer files between the modern computer and the emulator."
