ZAP!

Monday, April 3rd, 2006

App ZapperAlthough OS X is a wonderful operating system, Apple really did mess up when it came to application management. Every time I install something I can’t help but feel that it could be spraying libraries and other gumph around the system that will prove hard to remove later.

Windows has had an uninstall system since Windows 95, but prior to that it required additional software – Cleansweep being just one such application. Luckily Mac users aren’t out in the cold, as the folks at macZOT.com have produced the wonderful AppZapper, which will find all those leftover bits and allow you to ‘zap’ them from your system.

They are also offering to drop the price by $0.05 for every blog link posted to the site, and hopefully if enough people can post and generate interest, it’ll be made free! Definately sounds a worthy cause to me!
