Metronome

Bobster commented on 05 Oct 2010

Actually, I'm finding the same thing. About every 30 seconds or so, the metronome has a 'hiccup' for lack of a better term.

I checked running processes and the CPU is 3.9% occupied. iMac December 2009 model.

Carbon Copy Cloner

Bobster commented on 17 Jun 2010

Just tried to create a compressed DMG. Everything seemed to work fine, right up until the very end. I was left with a 1.3 MB disk image.

The other option, "sparse disk image", leaves me with a 347 GB disk image. Not an option, as I am trying to create a bootable disk that will fit on a 4.7 GB DVD.

Not happy.

Sibelius

Bobster reviewed on 30 Sep 2009

Been working with Sibelius 5.2 for a little while now. Quite the leap from Guitar Pro! Of course, GP is a lot less expensive, but it just can't touch Sibelius, the "kitchen sink" of notation programs.

Ease of use was immediately apparent - though there are some features that require tutorials/help files, still I find it a very intuitive program to use.

Rarify

Bobster reviewed on 30 Sep 2009

Unlike SimplyRAR, with Rarify you can control segment sizes when creating a RAR archive. That feature alone makes this app useful, and SimplyRAR useless (for the time being). The devs of SimplyRAR should at least have included this feature before releasing. But that's just my 2 cents.

AppleJack

The installation will take up 68KB of disk space. LOL! How sweet is that.

Thanks for the link MACROXX!

StuffIt Expander 2011

bobster commented on 30 Aug 2007

Oops, the aforementioned decompression actually took longer than I had originally thought... was actually stuck at 99.9% for about 20 minutes. But it's still good to have this program around for the rare time you need it these days.

StuffIt Expander 2011

bobster commented on 30 Aug 2007

Just bought a new Mac mini (2 GHz quad core) and tried Stuffit Expander out on a huge (2.5 GB) file that, amazingly, uncompressed a LOT faster than I thought it would. Maybe the new Mac was a factor too, but I wasn't expecting that kind of speed. Good work on this version.
