This is another one of those utilities that once you have it you wonder how you ever did without it.

Today I am continuing my assault on the Macintosh software list trying to match up software I will need for my upcoming migration from Windows. I’ve started my list of applications or functions I want to make sure and replicate after the move.

Having five children I have seen my share of Walt Disney movies. I wish I had a dime for every time I have seen The Emperor’s New Groove; I would be able to buy Disneyland. One of my kid’s favorite Disney movies is the Lion King. If the truth be told, it is my wife’s favorite Disney movie and she insists on watching it as much as the kids do. During the opening credits of that movie the scene is set with the king introducing his son to the animals of the plains. It is a dramatic shot made even more powerful by the inclusion of the song “The Circle of Life”. The song talks about the progression of life and how it forms a circle where you find yourself.
