Mat on Macs

Even with Apple’s Rosetta realtime translation technology, the biggest problem with running an Intel iMac is obviously software incompatibility (it seems like almost every prefpane has to be updated). So I’ve been scouring the net for applications. Versiontracker and Macupdate have pages up. But in addition I’ve found some other good resources for (mostly open source) binaries compiled for x86 processors (from back in the say). I’ll be making posts about Universal Binaries in the coming days, but for you early adopters check out especially: Macrumors and OSX86 Project. I’ve also found various unreleased alphas and betas by contacting authors and searching forums.
