This is the slickest, most complete contact software for Macintosh I've ever encountered. Installs, gathers contacts and their scattered info from varieties of places, bundles them together seamlessly and works intuitively. This is what software should always be.

Add to that support which is same-day timely, persistent, patient and wants their FREE software to work. 6 stars if I had 'em.

Beautiful. Works exactly as advertised. Lion Tweaks dismissed the atrocious skins in iCal and Address Book, cleanly and easily. The interface is straight forward, the developer is clearly attentive and responsive, and the software is free. Bravo!

Joel,

As a programming exercise, this is pretty neat. Not, as LizBo says, real practical, though. In English, lots of words exist to break the rules. Dice is one of them> Dice is the plural of die, but only when referring to the ones you roll. So two or more are dice, and one is a die. No dices.

Good, if superfluous, work!

Though it isn't here on Mac Update yet, the Safari 5 iteration Of PithHelmet 3 is available on the developer's site and works like the charm it is.

I have been running PitHelmet for many years. Many years. It is hands down the most effective and manipulable content filter I've ever found. Yes, I've used Safari AdBlocker, and it doesn't come close. With PithHelmet I can seen absolutely nothing but the content I want to see on any site. Or, I can choose to see all of the ads, or all of a particular kind of ad. It's genius.

With each Safari whole digit upgrade, theres a brief pause in PithHelmet availability while Mike does his magic to make everything compatible, and each time, I am stunned by the ad content on sites I visit regularly.

No, I don't like this advertising paradigm on the internet. If I need to pay for access to content, I figure I can make that choice - and do, when the content provider lets me decide. I don't watch much broadcast tv, either.

Problems I've encountered:

The install restart got into a loop trying to load GoogleDesktopAgent.app which I had failed to find pre upgrade. Force quitting Software Update was no relief, it just came back immediately. Booting into Root caused the box to hang. Twice. Being very patient dismissing no-load complaints I found and deleted the offending software and restarted successfully.

In Mail, Spam Sieve is gone. It's ugly already, as mail generated by Calendar is turning up as Spam. Ugh.

In Safari, my bookmarks are all intact, but none actually work. I mean, I can copy and paste them successfully, but clicking them, or pulling down to one elicits no response whatsoever. Ditto cookies. 1Password is a no-show which I have, admittedly, not checked out for an update yet.

I'm not jumping for Time Machine yet, but I'm glad to know I've got it.
