Useful software: PDFCrack, Map.Hamilton iMapper, and Skim for PDF annotation

Some miscellaneous useful software.
"Forget" your PDF password: use open-source PDFCrack. Installs easily on Mac command line (use gmake).
Looking for high-quality maps and "satellite" imagery of Hamilton? Try Map.Hamilton's iMapper. The interface takes a few minutes of experimentation to figure out, and then it's cool. Make sure you switch to Aerial Viewer (latest year) to get their ground imagery, which I think is actually generated by airplanes. It's quite a bit higher resolution than Google Earth has.
Want to annotate your PDF files? Try Skim. Seems potentially easier than using OmniGraffle... (and cheaper...)

I have a little programme called Fractal Trees X.
Is it yours? If so, where can it be downloaded for a friend please?
It can be used with other images. The only problem is with rendering, so I use a screen shot.
It's a nice programme.
Sue.
Yeah, I wrote that... a LONG time ago!
I've just restored the old pages that you have to use to download it. Here's a link:

... only problem is that it doesn't seem to work properly on my machine (intel MBP with 10.5)
