When I finally purchased my first Mac in 1992 it was a PowerBook 100, and the first and most important piece of software that I installed was a little shareware application called PopChar, which debuted in 1987. It added a tiny little "P" in the top left corner of your menu bar and allowed you to instantly call up any hidden characters in the font you were using. Fourteen years later, I'm still using it on every Mac I own, and consider it one of those indispensable tools that really make my Macs a lot more useful.

An interview on advanced digital photography with color management guru and Peachpit Press author Bruce Fraser, 1954 - 2006. Bruce was one of those rare folks who you can say was really at the top of their field. Bruce passed away in 2006 after a battle with lung cancer, and we lost a treasured mentor, author, musician, resource, and friend to almost everyone involved in digital photography.
