Apple has the Mac OS Software & Hardware Guide web site on the Internet which features over twelve thousand third-party Macintosh products in one online location. The web site also contains information on purchasing specialized Mac OS software that cannot be purchased through standard sales channels, such as scientific and technical applications. Anyone can access the web site directly at:
http://www.macsoftware.apple.com/
This web site features a search engine which locates products by name, vendor, and/or keywords. It also has a link which lets vendors submit new product information, or update existing product information in a timely manner.
