Cleaning Up Mac Desktops and Docs

Apple Folks-->

I just came across two li'l programs that might interest you.

1) Desktopple, a free program that does just one thing: temporarily hides all the icons on your desktop. Could be useful when hooking up to a projector, especially if the projector has lower resolution than your Mac. (I have a lot of detritus on my desktop, and syncing my screen with one of the projectors always jumbles my icons.) http://foggynoggin.com/desktopple

2) Overflow. This one costs fifteen dollars but has a free preview. Basically, this is to help you have quick access to all your applications but ALSO have a clean simple dock. It kind of gives you multiple docks to launch from. Really, you need to see it to understand, and, luckily, the software company has a handy video on the linked paged that shows you what it does. Worth a look if your dock is getting too full. http://www.stuntsoftware.com/Overflow/

2.5) Overflow is kind of a more elegant version of the free program Todos, which I linked to a few weeks ago: http://www.dbachrach.com/opensoft/index.php?page=Todos
That's all I've got,
