It would take a lot to write down all things about Apple’s 30th birthday … er … anniversary!

I’ll be collecting news and links about in the next days about this topic.

I guess you’re all used to do Command-Tab all the time to do task-switching and, if you’re a Windows switcher, you’re still more used to the ALT-Tab keys combination.

Witch, from Peter Maurer, comes in really handy since it allows you not only to switch from one task to another, but to switch from each and every open document under every program running.

An easy way to pass from multiple open documents with the simple touch of a switch.

Witch is Universal Binary and comes for free or a donation via paypal to the author.

First Mac OS X Worm a Wake-Up Call: this is The Cult of Mac title for what seems the first (?) reported worm for Mac OS X.

It seems related to an iChat vulnerability, as reported even by Symantec.

Maybe it deals more with common good sense than accepting an incoming file transfer…

The second question is:

What is googol-Choo-Choo3D?

googol-Choo-Choo 3D is a 3D model railroad simulation program. It is easy to make your own layout by dragging and dropping track items, or other items, on your layout. You can see the layout in 3D from driver’s seat of a running train or from several other locations. If you want to create your own trains or structures, you can do it with 3D modeling software and import the file into googol-Choo-Choo 3D.

But the first question is: how many people like playing with train models?

I do!

Both versions available for Mac OS X and Windows XP.
Go and catch the right train! Here: http://www.googolplex.co.jp/index_us.html
