    CHRISCHRAM  "Mactracker for iPod classic is no longer included."

    I guess that makes sense, since the latest generations of iPods can't use this feature, but "Boo, Hiss!" anyway.

    ILGAZ  Isn't there a free developer to give hand to this great freeware and its author? I feel bad when I download 22 MB of data each time when something gets added/updated.

    Can't be anything like rsync or plain patching (e.g. xdelta) implemented so users actually download 22 mb of data when they really need to replace the executable? I bet the actually changed data is far more less, compare the firefox "check for updates" updating and the old fashion full version downloading if you want to see how big difference patching would make.

    I mean, even Blizzard does patching and as far as I know, there is no risk patching the data files.

    Thanks to MPAA/RIAA, P2P doesn't really seem to be an option anymore. I mean evil ISPs out there filtering everything and sending letters to GNU/Linux downloaders. So, if anyone say "or he can ship a torrent", it is not the case.

    ps: I don't know the author or the company behind it, I just feel bad wasting bandwidth for no reason.

    ONTHESCREEN NAME  This great app allows you to find out what, when, plus a lot more on Apple Mac, previous Clone Macs, peripherals and devices. New Apple products can get updated into the list, too!

    Essential in previewing what a certain Mac needs (RAM Type/configuration/etc.) and will be like (Start-up sound, screen resolution, ports, plus much more info), and to compare, check and reference all the vintage and latest Mac computers, peripherals and devices like the iPod family.

    Definitely worth having around in your own Mac Library. Because even though you may be able to get all of this information online somewhere, it may be scattered over several sites, and maybe you will need to view the library offline, nicely and well.

    Great history comments also!

    MACDR  Mactracker has been a very valuable tool in determining the product configuration and what software diagnostic versions was meant for the particular vintage. I currently utilize this utility in my everyday Service Provider Service role.

    HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

    M. LUTHER  GREAT app. I maintain 5 Macs, and have purchased and owned close to two dozen Macs over the years. It is great to have an app like this with all its information. Easily 5 starts, especially given that its free.

    JOBBY  I've just spent ages trawling through Apple's dodgy navigation to try and find the manual for a G4 Mirrored Drive Door (2003) PowerMac. It would be great if MacTracker could have direct links to the manuals: it seems MacTracker has better search than Apple does :)

    BRUCE_Y  Yes, MacTracker X is a great resource for all the different Mac models.

    In the version of MacTracker I am looking at, there are links to manuals and support pages listed on the last "Notes" tab. Admittedly, it takes you to an Apple page which lists manuals for several releases but are for the selected Mac model. So perhaps finer-grained links. Might be worth a direct feedback to ian@mactracker.ca.

    Another great Hardware and model info resources tool is the EveryMac site at www.everymac.com.

    CEILING CAT  Does exactly what it says, and does it well. The only criticisms I can think of are related to adding a new machine - it seems a little hit-&-miss:

    i) if you don't input warranty dates (for example, after purchasing a second-hand "antique") then it doesn't show up on any of the Warranty watchlists;

    ii) there's no sense that you're saving the data you've entered, which is compounded by the issue i).

    I have two CRT iMacs, and while it was obvious to me that they should be considered as out of warranty, I had to make up a fictitious warranty expiry date in order to have them display properly.
