The Hit List

grizzler commented on 19 May 2009

At the end of my 14-day trial with OmniFocus, I thought I would give this a try. I'd already used Things and wasn't particularly fond of the way it handled attachments to tasks or the interface itself. I like The Hit List for both ease of use and functionality, better, in my opinion, that Things or Omnifocus.

Mailplane

grizzler commented on 19 May 2009

I hesitated to buy Mailplane. It seemed that the web browser and Mail could do the job managing gmail. But I took the plunge, plopped down $25, and I think it was a good decision. Mailplane definitely improves efficiency for me, with my two gmail accounts. Switching between one account and the other is easier than using Firefox or Safari. Mailplane handles attachments and photos better. Bottom line: It's a good interface for the gmail app, money well spent.

Backblaze

grizzler commented on 15 Apr 2009

I've used Backblaze for several months, and I love it. The key selling points for me were that 1) it backs up my computer in the background; 2) unlike Time Machine, it backs up my data offsite; 3) the user interface and functionality were better than Mozy's, which I also used for several months; and 4) the restore options are great, including the option to pay for overnight delivery of a USB drive containing the backed up data.

it does work outside the U.S. although you may have to have a U.S. billing address to sign up. Not sure. Also, not sure if you need to restore via the USB drives, whether they will mail them out of the country. I live in Europe most of the year and use Backblaze to backup my entire computer. I occasionally have to restore from the web interface so having the USB drive shipped has never been an issue for me.

MailSteward

grizzler reviewed on 07 Jan 2009

Buyer beware! I too purchased MailSteward for $50 with free upgrades, but the next major upgrade, which was less than a year after my purchase, would have cost me $20, even though my original order acknowledgement read:

* If you ordered MailSteward, you are entitled to free upgrades. *

I wrote the developer, but he would not budge. So I abandoned the software altogether, effectively losing the initial investment.
