First Segment: Shirt-Pocket. Dave Nanian, Owner.
“Shirt Pocket is a small company committed to creating small but useful applications for the Macintosh. Our programs are affordable, fully supported, well designed and carefully crafted to bring a smile to your face when you use them. netTunes, our first product, is a Macintosh OS X program that will change the way you use iTunes in a networked environment. Our second product, launchTunes, ensures your shared music is available by making it easy to start one or more remote iTunes servers when you start iTunes locally. SuperDuper!, is a backup program that’s also the first utility that allows “Sandboxing”: a system checkpoint for the Macintosh that was designed to allow any user an extra margin of safety when installing drivers, system updates, or any other potentially destabilizing program.” – Shirt Pocket
