March's Featured Vendor: Koingo Software

Odds are good that you have used Koingo software, considering that the company's history goes back more than 25 years. From their beloved Contact Keeper and Password Retriever running on Mac OS 8, to today's amazing apps for iOS and Mac OS, their apps are both beautiful and practical. Koingo's current line includes MacPilot 11, helping users to harness the phenomenal power of UNIX with the elegance and ease of Macintosh, and the innovative Data Guardian 5, making entering and securely saving a wide range of data, including credit card numbers, shopping lists, or even journal entries, easy.

No matter what you collect or track, their Librarian Pro 5 helps you see all of your items at a glance on a virtual bookshelf, in a list, or in cover flow. And, Koingo Software's AirRadar 5 can not only use advanced GPS technology to map available WiFi signals but also provide insight to optimizing your home network and reducing interference from other signals. And, this is just a glimpse of their wide product line. Better yet, they have an amazing set of discounts on for user group members on this month's Apple User Group Resources blog.
