OS X Tiger Graveyard



It's time to bury those applications that no longer work or are not needed in Leopard.
  • PDFLab: I used PDFLab to combine PDFs together to make a single, multi-page PDF. You can now do this in Preview.
  • DockFun!: Stacks has now replaced this functionality.
  • Quicksilver: an update has been provided for Leopard, but it appears no further development will be done.
  • Chicken of the VNC: This was a great VNC client, but is it needed any more with the new Screen Sharing client in Leopard?
  • StuffIt Expander: For general use, there is a new Archive Utility built-into Leopard that is configurable.  File security, scheduled backups and support for multiple formats may drive the need for a third-party archive utility.
  • NewsFire: This little RSS manager was a great tool that included feed groupings.  Apple Mail now has RSS with Smart Mailboxes that provides the same functionality, as long as you can live with the Safari integration.
