BIMP Lite 1.62 (Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows XP, Windows 2000)
This program is incredible! It definitely deserves a place among my favorite Windows freeware apps. BIMP Lite does batch or individual file scaling/resizing and format conversion with lots of output options, including antialias, rotate, flip horizontal or veritical, grayscale, output to the same or a different directory, change the case of the file name, add a prefix or suffix to the file name, etc. Very few freeware apps have this many great features, and even fewer are designed with such attention to detail. Five stars, easily!
I'm going to see if I can get this app mentioned on an upcoming episode of the Tech Pulse podcast.
To the developer: Please upload a screenshot here on VT so people can see what the app looks like. BIMP Lite has a great interface that shows all the features very clearly.

Resize! 1.4.2 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)
This is a nice little app! It does what it claims, and does it pretty well. I was looking for a simple, free batch resizer app because The Gimp takes too long to launch and then individually scale and close several images on my 400 MHz G3. Resize! makes it easy to shrink digital photos to make them a more appropriate size for attaching to an e-mail.
Props for the wide range of OS compatibility, too! Not many apps still run on Mac OS 8 and yet also run under the latest OS. This app runs great on my G3 running Tiger 10.4.9.

Avosmac2ISO 0.1 (Mac OS X)
Great concept, but rather buggy
Avosmac2ISO verison 0.1 is not a very high-quality app. If the name of the folder you want to convert doesn't contain any spaces or special characters (e.g. $, &, etc.), then this will probably work... and then it will annoyingly open the company's Web site after it creates the ISO. If the folder name contains any spaces or special characters, the program fails. This bug is probably caused by a simple lack of quotation marks around the input string within the AppleScript code.
Even though Avosmac2ISO is a simple AppleScript application, the author chose not to include the source code, which makes it more difficult for people to help the author find and fix bugs or to modify it to create a solution that works better or has greater functionality.
One good thing about Avosmac2ISO is that its error messages are descriptive enough for you to figure out that the program is just using (or, rather, attempting to use) the hdiutil command-line tool. For more info on what you can do with hdiutil in regard to ISO images, try a Google search for hdiutil iso. You might need to just use the Terminal instead of this app if it doesn't suit your needs. The Terminal command has a lot more functionality, although it lacks the drag-and-drop simplicity that Avosmac2ISO tries to achieve. Hopefully a future version will be released after the author does more careful testing and code cleanup.

LoadInDock 0.74 (Mac OS X)
Best In Class; works with Tiger 
LoadInDock is by far the best CPU monitor that I've ever used. I love being able to tell exactly how much processor time is being used at any given moment. I keep it in my dock right next to the Finder icon, and I have it set up to automatically launch at login via the Accounts pane in the System Preferences.
On many occasions, LoadInDock has helped me realize that an application has hung, locking up the CPU at 100% load (after which I can use Terminal to check which process has crashed using the "top" command and end it using the "kill" command). If for no other reason, I recommend LoadInDock to help advanced users keep a more watchful eye on their system.
I primarily use LoadInDock on Mac OS X v10.3. I look forward to using it in Tiger as well (version 0.8 supports it).

MuseP3 0.3b (Mac OS X)
FYI to those who are not command-line savvy: When you enter track/artist/other names in this app, precede any spaces or special characters with a backslash (on Apple keyboards, this is the key above the Return key). Of course, you'll also need to remove all spaces and special characters from your file name before you begin. Additionally, it's best to open from and save to your Desktop, so there won't be spaces in the path. These things should help.
To the developer: In a future version, you can fix the first part by automatically inserting a backslash before all non-alphanumeric characters that the user inputs. If you can't figure out how to do that, you can just insert a backslash before every character input by the user... dirty, but in theory it should work as well.

mi X 2.1.1 (Mac OS X)
Wow, this sure beats spending $180 on BBEdit. It has built-in color-coding for program code just like BBEdit has, which is the main reason I've liked BBEdit for editing HTML in the past. The only downside to the color coding is that it doesn't differentiate between code types, so parts of my HTML docs are displayed color-coded even though they're not HTML code. But who cares when I get to save $180? Five überstars for being such a dang sweet freeware app! [alert admin]

Microsoft IntelliPoint 2.0 (Mac OS 9)
just "updates" the control panel's graphics and forces you to register your new MS Software or be nagged whenever editing your mouse prefs. Like KernelG, the registration page couldn't be found when I tried it (that's LAME, Microsoft) but at least it's stopped nagging me. There isn't a "What's New" Read Me file, so I don't know if anything else has changed. However, the software's functional, and I guess if I was the zany type who wanted my cursor to fly across the screen with the tiniest twitch of a finger, then I'd appreciate the built-in option to make the cursor faster than Apple's Mouse control panel. You can also use the control panel to change or tweak the function of the buttons. [alert admin]

Looks like Digital Jim and I both came across the same problem (and the fix) almost around the same time. I blogged about the fix a few weeks before Jim's post.

In fact, you know what? Most of Digital Jim's post is directly ripped off from my article. I'm flattered that Jim found my post useful, but in the future I hope he learns to cite his sources rather than copying and pasting from them and claiming them as his own work.

You probably downloaded the file to your desktop, right? And then tried to expand it on your desktop? That's a no-no. There's something about how StuffIt Expander (even the latest version) decompresses files that makes the contents of an expanded folder invisible right after expanding the folder. The same thing happened to me when I double-clicked on kilometre.sit on my desktop (I'm currently running Mac OS X Tiger v10.4.10). Here…

Bug fix in 1.1 - Re: window positions not saving 
I made some improvements in version 1.1 that will help address the issue with Finder window positions not being saved. The Finder itself seems to have some unresolved issues, but upgrading to Invisibility Toggler 1.1 should help a bit.

Actually, this isn't an isolated incident. I'm having this problem as well. I did a deep clean with AppleJack a couple days ago, so I don't believe my system is to blame. I have a blue and white G3, currently running Mac OS X 10.4.6, with two internal IDE hard drives and an external FireWire hard drive. I just now e-mailed a bug report to the developer.

More customizable & visually pleasing
You bring up a good question (and thanks for pointing out that Activity Monitor does this--I just assumed that Apple completely removed the CPU monitor dock utility with the release of Mac OS X v10.3). The main reasons I like LoadInDock better than Activity Monitor (I just tried out AM to compare the two): 1) Customizability -- LoadInDock has more configuration options than AM 2) More Visually Appealing -- LoadInDock looks much better than AM 3) Percentages In Dock…
