Without exception. You'll be amazed - perhaps even shocked - at how much is out there that you never saw before.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Xfile is the only file manager offering you the power you're accustomed to on other platforms.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;64-bit Xfile on 64-bit Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard has power and speed you can't comprehend.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Also available for Leopard, Tiger, Panther, and Jaguar. &lt;b&gt;Get behind the wheel today.&lt;/b&gt;</description>
