Running OS 10.4.10 (home) and 10.4.11 (work). Both systems are syncing quite happily with my Google Calendar. Program does what it's supposed to. There are some items that aren't explained in the Help (hence my 4 out of 5 rating).

Callwave, you assertion is incorrect on my computer. I can go to your site, click on Logout , and get to the Login page. I then close the window, go to Safari > Preferences > Cookies and delete all cookies that have Callwave in the URL. I "Empty Cache" in Safari. Quit out of Safari. When I activate widget and click "Archive," it takes me to my logged in Callwave page with all of my messages listed.

DEFINITELY A SECURITY ISSUE.

Why do I have to register? What updates are made from the last version? No info given.

Downgraded to previous version, which works just fine.

Downloaded and tried. I think I will be staying with Thoth -- even if only PPC. MT-NW is missing one big feature that Thoth has, the ability to designate a different default save location for each newsgroup.

Nick (and the engineers) at El Gato have been great updating me via email and sending me a beta version in the week I've had my EyeTV 250.

I originally had problems recording and with the remote. Each of the issues have been resolved with 2.2.1 -- and ahead of the schedules they were telling me.

I'm loving the 250 now. Hopefully future versions will speed up the iPod conversion.

Visited "More Information" link and looked at Garmin's Web site. It says "Mac support coming soon." HUH?!?

Went ahead, downloaded plug-in and installed.

Fired up Safari and went to the test page. Said the plug-in was not installed or the browser is not compatible.

Switched over to Firefox. Same results.

So I can't do anything with this. Yippee.

Also submitted to XLR8yourmac.com:

There were reports of the app freezing with a screen full of slashes, numbers and letters. I had the same problem, but when I copied the app from the disk image to my Application folder and re-ran, the problem went away. This was on my work PowerBook G4 1.67.

Strange thing, I had no such issue on my home Intel Mini. It ran fine from the disk image.

Home attempt was to 30GB video iPod. Work attempt was to 20GB click wheel iPod (b/w screen).

Side oddities:
Both computers also had a problem where I couldn't eject the Diskwarrior CD after running DasBoot. When I tried to restart, both computers froze (spinning beachball on PowerBook, spinning clock hands on Mini). I had to press and hold POWER to shut down.

Also, the applications you want to run have to be in the Applications folder -- not in subfolders or in Utilities. DiskWarrior, for example, creates a Utilities folder in the Apps. You can either alias to it or just pull it out of the Utilities folder.

Lastly, I've run into problems adding other disk utility apps to the iPod drive. Drive Genius, for example, has to install a few files into Library > Application Support, and it can't do so from the SubRosaSoft launcher. A workaround was to install DG on PowerBook or Mini, and then copy the App Support folder to the same location on iPod.

My initial attempt to run Cocktail just by copying to Apps folder also resulted in a freeze. I suspect I have to do the same Install and Copy App Support trick.

With these learnings, I was able to produce two fast, usable repair iPods -- one USB for Intel Macs and one FW for PPC Macs. Cool, but more documentation would have made it easier.
