Absolutely Mac, Absolutely Free!

Welcome to Absolutely Mac, the site that's dedicated to bringing you the best of everything that's free in the pre-X Mac community. If it's pre-X Mac, free and worth having, you should find it here. To get you started, check out the "Top Ten" on the right, a selection of utilities to enhance your Mac experience. Every one of them free, of course. Explore and enjoy!

Please note that this site is more of a museum than an ongoing service: I've long since moved on to Mac OS X myself. Don't expect it to be updated anytime soon.
