GarageSale 3.2 - iwascoding

GarageSale 3.2.1, by iwascoding, is a program for listing auctions on eBay. Similar to iSale (4.5 mice), GarageSale replaces eBay’s multipage, Web-based process with a familiar, Apple-inspired interface. Compared to iSale’s interface, though, GarageSale’s stumbles a bit on intuitiveness and elegance.

Personal Ancestry Writer II 69 - Howard H. Metcalfe

Howard Metcalfe is open about why he developed Personal Ancestry Writer II: He wanted a genealogy program he could use to create books and articles based upon his extensive research into his own family.

Adobe InDesign CS3 - Adobe

While there's much to like about InDesign CS3, the latest incarnation of Adobe's page - layout application, overall its new features are much less awe-inspiring than in previous updates.
