"If you spend all of your time on your Mac, then you should really stop. Have a look outside every once in a while. But if you must be physically attached to your computer, then you should at least be comfortable and productive.

Here are six programs, most of which are free, that will help your Mac run more smoothly and give you a better experience. You're welcome. Seriously, though, go outside."

    I'd definitely add some sort of launcher to that list.

    Either Alfred or LaunchBar if you want free one.

    Looking good too, thanks @Armeline. :smile:

    Anymore for anymore? (Free productivity programs for Mac, that is).

    Oh, OK, and red wine. :wink:
