  ... mount remote volumes
  ... use your remote printers and faxes
  ... access you iTunes, iPhoto and almost any other Bonjour based application
  ... upload/download/execute files (with support for console and X11 based applications)

  Personal Antispam X4

  Spam is the scourge of the Internet. Almost every Internet user receives spam: undesired e-mail messages selling products and services, messages suggesting that users visit certain web sites, often pornographic, and scams of all kinds. Some people get so much spam that they spend more time sorting their in-boxes than they do reading legitimate e-mail.

  Intego Personal Antispam X4 is the ultimate tool to fight spam for Mac OS X. Intego Personal Antispam X4 analyzes your incoming e-mail, determining which messages are spam and which are valid messages, in many ways: by checking a whitelist of addresses, message content, message layout, URLs in messages, and much more.

  Unlike the spam filters provided with e-mail programs such as Apple Mail or Microsoft Entourage, Intego Personal Antispam X4 is intelligent. When you first install Intego Personal Antispam X4, its performance is similar to the filters included with e-mail programs, but as you use it more and more, having the program learn from your spam and from your good e-mail, Intego Personal Antispam X4 outperforms any spam filter available.

It looks at your address book and learns what your good messages look like, so it won't confuse them with spam. Other spam filters get worse over time as spammers adapt to their rules; SpamSieve actually gets better over time as you train it with more messages. SpamSieve doesn't delete any messages--it only marks them in your e-mail client--so you'll never lose any mail.

  Vi Input Manager

  This bundle patches the Cocoa Text System to add a Vi-like command mode. After entering command-mode (typically, by hitting escape in Vi), ordinary Vi commands can be typed and the text field will be updated accordingly. Essentially, this add Vi command functionality (albeit a small subset) to any (and all) text editors that use the Cocoa text system; e.g., Safari, TeXShop, XCode, etc. Note, however, this does not work for other programs that do not use the Cocoa system.

  All the text windows, will initialize in "input" mode (standard cocoa text input). You invoke the Vi-command window (exit the input mode) by hitting ` (the back-apostrophe key, this is customizable, see installation instructions) and then key in your favorite Vi commands. For example, move down a line 'j', move right 'l', delete two lines 'd2d', and so on. You enter back into "input" mode by typing the 'i'. You get the idea. Right now, you should be thinking -- "you mean the editor in XCode will behave like Vi?" Answer: Yes.
