I downloaded a couple of free applications before I realized I was not in the location for Mac Downloads. So I switched to iMac Intel 10.4. You have it set up where you can narrow your search and then download or update anything available for your particular computer needs. Your site is very easy for me to find my way around. I had fun while visiting. I'll be back.
