PDF Professional

Billindg reviewed on 20 Jan 2012

This is a ripoff of the public domain software Skim. Skim is a wonderful reader. Just download it.

[Version 1.0]

DVDFab DVD Ripper

Billindg reviewed on 13 Jan 2012

I have used the PC version for a long time. Fab is frequently updated and is the most reliable ripper I have used. I have been using the Mac version in preview form and now in the official release. It does seem to have trouble burning disks. I have been ripping to iso format and burning separately.

[Version 8.1.3.8]

iKey

Billindg commented on 21 Feb 2010

With iKey 2.4 I finally made the switch from iKey 1.x. 2.4 works much better with Snow Leopard. Macros run very quickly and reliably---except for macros that simulate the pressing of keys to run commands. In most cases there is a menu equivalent and the menu/submenu commands work very well. I dislike the interface and feel it unnecessarily complicates the interface found in 1.x. However, I've gotten used to it and the native 2.4 works much better than 1.x via Rosetta.

[Version 2.4]

Rocketbox

Billindg reviewed on 17 Feb 2010

Searches are very fast. For users with large mailboxes, Boolean search capabilities are critical to providing efficient searches. Interface still needs some tweaks, e.g., messages with 4 recipients show up 4 times in the search lists, but Rocketbox searches are already my default search mode. It is easy to switch back to the native search on the fly. Version 1.02 has some important bug fixes. If you were unsatisfied with earlier versions give this one a try. I'd give 5 stars if it weren't for the recipient problem.

[Version 1.0.2]

iConvert

billindg reviewed on 10 Mar 2009

Because I do a lot of conversions, I purchased the Pro version. I have other unit converter software, but iConvert Pro is very convenient (and very reasonably priced). The author is very cooperative in taking suggestions and improving the program.

[Version 1.1]

JollysFastVNC

billindg reviewed on 09 Mar 2009

Very good performance both on LAN and WAN. It is convenient to have SSH tunneling built-in rather than having to set the tunnel up in the Terminal. Very stable for me. Even on crappy hotel internet connections, I get useful performance when logging back to my home computer.

[Version 0.96.90]

Glims

billindg reviewed on 27 Dec 2008

Glim 1.0b11 finally brings tab management in Safari to a level that is competitive with Firefox and TabMixPlus. You can still only undo the most recent closed tab, but that is good enough in most cases. I still like the way Firefox renders some pages better than Safari, but between Safari's generally greater speed and Glims, I am thinking about switching.

[Version 1.0b11]
