    *....

    TANKKNIGHT  I have loved this since it first came out and I had even pre-ordered my first silver 'mate. I eventually picked up 3 black 'mates and sold my silver. When version 2 came out I had a blast playing etch-a-sketch and programming the 3 'mates with many commands. For the last six months I have been using 2 KVM switches so I can use my 4 monitors between my Mac and PC. My Mac kept losing control of USB devices when I switched to the PC and back. My EyeTV, Phonemate and IRed software would stop working and I could not even kill them with the terminal ... so hard shutdown. It was dumb luck that I finally noticed that no problems would occur until I used any one of my 'mates. I did a lot of testing to make sure I observed right and then removed my Powermate software and unplugged all 3 'mates. I miss the 'mates, but it has been 1 month since the removal with no USB problems showing at all, no matter how many times I switch back and forth between the Mac/PC.

    I am giving this 1 star for the headaches it caused me and because lately I have become very tired of software that makes me feel that I am at work (I am application support on window PCs, window Servers and Mainframe ... we've lost many IT people and not replaced).  (Version 2.1)

    GEORGE PAPHITIS  I tried to upgrade from ver. 1.6.4 on an Intel iMac running OS 10.4.10 Inspite of removing older version and deleting the preference file I could not get the newer version to display Global Preferences in the Preference Pane menu. The only function turning the Powermate was to change system volume. I could not scroll in web browser. In addition, this version does not support Unsanity's Cee Pee You. I reverted back to ver. 1.6.4 and all is back to normal again. As they say: "If it ain't broke don't fix it!"  (Version 2.1)

    SMACTRON  It looks like the last three beta releases have had the same release notes. What is truly different in this release?  (Version 2.0b20)
