Getting ready for spring cleaning?

iKeeper
Ok, so many people are tired of seeing the letter i in front of names. Still, there are two i products this month that are so good that you forgive them the name. The first of these is iKeeper, a wonderful way to keep track of all of your serial numbers, expiration dates, urls, and more. It even lets you read and manipulate the data in customizable ways. Yenco Software's iKeeper will feel like a life saver the next time you need to reinstall an application or call tech support. It requires 8 or later and a minimum of 4MB ram. - Thanks to: Sandy Foderick, Shareware Manager for sending this in.

iPrompter 1.8
In an earlier life, this product was known as PowerPrompter. Intelli Innovations' newest teleprompter has AppleScript support, a great search engine, smooth scrolling, and compatibilty with most text editors. It offers a control strip module for 8.5 or better and costs only $15. - Thanks to: Sandy Foderick, Shareware Manager for sending this in.

Fontbook
Almost every Mac user has tried Lemke Software's Graphic Converter. Lesser-known is Lemke's Fontbook, a font utility that offers Lemke Software's characteristic ease of use and elegance. Fontbook lets users display and print out all characters of each font not only within their system but any where on their hard disks. Fontbook costs $10 and runs on most machines in use today. - Thanks to: Sandy Foderick, Shareware Manager for sending this in.

eMail Alert!
eMail Alert! scans your e-mail accounts on a regular basis and lets you know when you have mail. Better yet, the newest version lets you run eMail Alert! from your control strip, letting you check, read, and delete e-mail without ever launching your regular e-mail reader. It costs $12 from Intelli Innovations, Inc. and runs under OS9 and Aqua interfaces.
There's also an OSX Beta version, and you can download it from: http://www.intellisw.com/downloads/emailalertcarbon.bin - Thanks to: Sandy Foderick, Shareware Manager for sending this in.

QuickFind
John Rethorst is known for a number of his Apple scripts and utilities. QuickFind, one of his best efforts, offers string and boolean search capabilities with a very fast PPC engine that makes searching a pleasure. Even gives Sherlock a run for its money. - Thanks to: Sandy Foderick, Shareware Manager for sending this in.

Disk Recall
Disk Recall by Kifka Software is a fast disk cataloging utility, creating catalogs of just about any kind of disk media: floppy, cd-rom, Zip, etc. It has a great, multi-criteria search engine that claims to search 5 to 10 times faster than any other disk cataloger. Better yet, the memory requirement is bitty - under one meg. It requires 7.1 or higher but offers more features when used with OS 8.5 and later. - Thanks to: Sandy Foderick, Shareware Manager for sending this in.
