I have been just putting them in the trash from the apps folder. I have a feeling I should be doing something more. Am I doing it right or wrong? Thanks.

    Yeah, you got it. However - just like in OS 9 - there are pref files that reside in the Library that might cause problems in the future if you happen to reinstall the app again.

    Heheh, I love getting to show off this old tutorial movie I made for newbies who need help uninstalling Mac OS X apps. Check it out; it's only 1 MB.

    Great Video That's great. I'm new to Mac and came from Windows and there was more then one step to unistalling and could get to be a hassle. This is awesome, at first when I was just trashing the app I thought it was too good to be true. But I was proved wrong.
