Thats a lot of frees.

I'm wondering if their is a place that has some icons I can use for a piece of freeware? What I am looking for is pretty much like a text document with a magnifying glass. Thanks!

I typically go to images.google.com and find an image, then modify it slightly to make an icon. Works great, it's easy, and if you make changes to the image, it's legal.

No, if you make changes, it is not legal. Not at all... I don't know where this misconception comes from.

It's only legal if the page that contains the image has some text somewhere giving you permission to use it.

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!

Yup, its a freeware application that installs a menu that lets you see your iCal to-do lists and make your own lists, prioritize them, etc.

Will be out tomorrow, and it's called BurningMenu.
