TV Tracker

I kind of like version 2 better (while it worked). The main addition is resizing, but it works really slowly (sort of like resizing a window on OS X 10.1) - also, sometimes show titles get stuck outside the viewing area. Also, scrolling is pretty choppy (and not helped by the "smooth scrolling" animation). Still, it's a pretty slick widget, and hopefully version 3 will improve.

OttoMate Web Test Automator Actions

This is very useful and simple - I used it to enter a contest which allowed multiple entries on a daily basis.

MacIago

This is a great, simple Othello game. I wish the dev would release a Universal Binary, and a simple network play option! Still works great under Tiger.

Logitech Control Center

NB: this version installs Unsanity's Application Enhancer.

Logitech Control Center

This software works, but isn't too polished. One example: the "thumb forward" and "thumb backward" icons and labels are reversed. Another example: it crashes a lot.

While I like the scrolling and tracking performance of the built-in OS X driver better, I'm pretty used to the extra buttons, so this seems to be the only free option.

Just to let people know, if they didn't already: this version will not update the MacHeist version. If you install this version (1.1.1) over the MacHeist version (1.1), it will revert to the demo.

StuffIt Expander 2011

I'm really impressed with this version. Drag-and-drop install, and it seems very fast. This is a big improvement.

[Version 11.0.1]

AbiWord

chagrins reviewed on 02 Dec 2006

This is the only program I've found to open WordPerfect (wpd) files, other than MacLinkPlus. It takes awhile, and the interface isn't pretty, but AbiWord has reliably opened every WordPerfect file I've thrown at it, and allowed me to quickly export it into RTF or a number of other formats.

[Version 2.4.5]
