Pearl Crescent - Firefox Screenshot Saver

We like Firefox, for all platforms, especially when used in conjunction with Zimbra, the enterprise e-mail, calendaring, contact and document sharing software. And we all know how easy it is to take screenshots on a mac. But have you ever wanted to take a screenshot of an entire webpage, especially one that scrolls beyond the size of your screen? And what about when using Firefox on a PC using WindowsXP or Linux? Well, now you can, with Pearl Crescent, a new Firefox extension. You can get Pearl Crescent here . It comes in both a free basic version, and a Pro version for $15. For independently written software, those are great prices, especially for what it can do. We know around here we are going to be recommending this often to our users.

Hard drive full, don’t know why?

Back when I used Windows I had this fantastic tool called WinDirStat that would let me visualize graphically my hard drive usage. It helped me find and delete huge video files I no longer needed and the like. When I switched to Mac, I found a port of it called Disk Inventory X , but it seemed to be really slow and hog resources. Then recently I heard about GrandPerspective . It’s native and really fast. It’s not as pretty as WinDirStat, but it’s got it where it counts.
