I received some great comments from readers about their favorite Mac software.

Scott recommended Transmit for a Mac FTP client. Arne suggested the Camino web browser and Webalizer for site statistics. And Darren recommended Quicksilver to boost productivity, and TypeIt4Me to expand abbreviations as you type.

Anytime you enter text in your Mac by typing it at the keyboard, TypeIt4Me can help you do it faster and more accurately. First you define a number of abbreviations and the full text entries that they represent, then you watch the Mac expand them on the fly even as you continue typing!

Thank you very much for your suggestions! I will be sure to try out every one of these software programs.
