Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.   The folks at Parallels, who have been making software for years that allows Mac users to run the Windows operating system as well…are out with Parallels Toolbox.    It’s a suite of useful applications that can run on both Macs and Windows computers.   It allows you to easily download videos from YouTube for instance….clean up your drive…and, says VP of Communications John Uppendahl…

“There are other things too.   Like say maybe you have to give a presentation and you want to avoid embarrassing disruptions like notifications of email or texts that wouldn’t be appropriate for the middle of a presentation.  Or you want to hide all the icons on your desktop.”

Parallels Toolbox can do all that and more.   More than thirty tools in all.   The price is about twenty dollars a  year and Parallels lets you try before you buy.
