Battery Amnesia 1.5.2 9/7/97 197 K Powerbooks using NiMH and NiCad batteries can suffer from the "memory effect" through time. Battery Amnesia effectively drains the battery and fully recharges it, reducing the onslaught of reduced battery life.

ClickPad II 2.2.2 5/18/97 104 K ClickPad II gives you more control over the touch pad on 520-series PowerBooks and up. Several of it's features are available in the system shipping with current PowerBooks, but it's worth a look nonetheless!
Alternate source.

FatCursors 1.2.2 4/30/97 35 K If you keep losing your cursor on your Powerbooks's screen, FatCursors is your answer. Make that thing visible from across the room! Also works great on desktop machines.
Alternate source.

Insomniac 1.1.1 1/13/97 244 K This application allows you to program up to fifty wakeup "events" to applicable PowerBooks (Portable, PowerBook 100, PowerBook 500 & 5300 series, or PowerBook Duos). It can let you send faxes and check Email during the night (it'll go back to sleep) or even wake you up in the morning!
Alternate source.

MyBattery 3.3.3 7/2/97 571 K This battery utility gives: a variety of numerical and graphical voltage displays, CPU speed, charger status, menubar displays, and an estimate of battery time remaining. It bases it's estimation on a history of your battery usage patterns and can monitor multiple different batteries, including those of different capacities.
Alternate source.

PowerSaver Tweak 1.1.1 2/16/97 256 K PowerSaver Tweak is a utility for PowerBooks and Power Macintoshes that gives you more control over the power conservation settings than Apple's PowerBok/EnergySaver control panel.
Alternate source.

PowerSleep FKey 1.0 1/29/92 3 K Simply pressing CMD-Shift-0 puts the PowerBook to sleep, without any warning dialogue boxes popping up.
Alternate source.

Synchronize! 3.55 9/27/97 580 K Another fine synchronization program (similar to SwitchBack! above) with a large number of basic features which can be used for free and limited use of the advanced features. Excellently done.
Alternate source.

Threshold 1.05a 5/25/95 172 K Allows you to alter when the battery low messages appear. Apparently quite useful when using external batteries.
Alternate source.

ToggleAT 4.0 12/11/94 14 K An FKey which turns AppleTalk on and off without going to the Chooser and navigating through a bunch of dialogs.
Alternate source.

Virtual Desktop 1.9 3/19/96 208 K Gives you a scrolling Desktop so you can have as many applications as you want open and not have any windows overlapping. Great for PowerBooks and any Macs with small screens.
Alternate source.
