Location X. Location X brings the wildly popular Location Manager functionality from Mac OS 9 to Apple’s latest and greatest operating system, Mac OS X. Location X allows you to, with a single click, change network, time zone, email settings and more all at once.
The problem that this $10 shareware app is attempting to solve is that Mac OS X’s concept of a “Location” only affects network settings (which network ports are enabled, how you get an IP address, and so forth). If anything else changes between locations (like time zone), you would ordinarily have to manage it yourself. A student in my last class asked about this, and here it is.
