Now that you have your mac, you’re probably wondering where best to get software for your mac that you don’t have to pay for. There’s plenty of freeware and shareware that you can download for free off popular wb sites like VersionTracker.

From screensavers, utilities to applications you can find practically anything on VersionTracker. A mac user’s second best friend, next to Apple.

Update: VersionTracker has been acquired by CNET in 2007 and since then has been absorbed into CNET. Changing from VersionTracker.com to Download.com. Popular Mac site MacFixit has also been absorbed around the same time, leaving no trace of the site’s existence having being fully integrated as part of CNET’s own web ecosystem.

CNET itself has become part of CBS’ branding after its acquisition in 2008.

In 1978, founders Matt and Hendricks were looking for a tech event to showcase their new startup. When they couldn’t find one that checked all the boxes they decided to host their own. As they were organizing things, they soon realized they needed somewhere to promote the conference, and that’s how newsweb.com was launched. It later became a blog and the result is what you are looking at right now.
