Suitcase Fusion 3

larry2 commented on 08 Sep 2009

Not real sure why anyone would need any font program other that the one included with the OS.
I myself never use ANY font manager other than my own system.
FIRST: DO NOT change (add fonts) the Users/Library/Fonts folder.
2. Drag and drop any fonts (folder) you want to use to the Library/Fonts and you're ready to go.
Fonts auto activate in the folder.
3.When you're finished remove the folder.
I keep 400 fonts in my font folder permanent. I've been doing this since 10.1 no problems. I use Quarkxpress, and all CS4 programs for desktop publishing television magazines.
P.S. I did try this program It was "O.K." I would use this IF I just had to have a font program.

Firefox

larry2 reviewed on 21 Jun 2008

Not sure what all the negative fuss is about. I have used this all day today. Updated plug-ins, added search engines (http://mycroft.mozdev.org/search-engines.html?name=Mac&sherlock=yes&opensearch=yes&submitform=Search). Added all my favorite extensions and themes (some I needed to go to the developers site for betas) and still no problems. I am on MacBook Pro, 2gb memory, 10.5.3. I dislike Safari, although I admit it is SLIGHTLY faster, it is simply too simple. I like the ability to customize and us A LOT of different search engines for specific searches instead of all inclusive search. Just remember with any browser...clear you cache sometimes.

Great app.Opens fast. Cheap.

Startrail

larry2 reviewed on 10 Oct 2007

Excellent on Macbook pro 1.8/2gb ram. Non-intrusive. I have no problem with the dispersion of the stars it lets me know exactly where my cursor is at any time. I especially like the color change. Hope this is ported to the upcoming 10.5 system. I wish there would be something else to happen on mouse clicks...that would be cool.

iDefrag

larry2 reviewed on 01 Jun 2007

Wonderful application in conjunction with Techtool ProtoGo. Loaded on a 2gb flash drive included iDefrag and now I have the best of both world since I don't care fro the optimizer in Techtool, it take far longer than iDefrag. If you don't have Techtool this program alone on a flash drive, with an OS of course, is well worth it. Does what it is written to do.

Amazing Slow Downer

Tried this program...Loved it.
Tried Amadeus Pro...Love it more. Bought it. You can't really go wrong with this one if all you want to in change pitch and speed. Want to do more well...Figure it out.

America Online X

Best Asset...Fast. Still a beta so I reserve any more comment at this time.

[Version 128]

MenuMeters

larry2 reviewed on 16 Mar 2007

Simple Excellent. Completely replaces any number of singular apps. Like Disk Spy. Sadly I did'nt realize it could do so much until I saw it in my system preferences today and forgot it was running my memory meter which I can't do without...Then the light came on when I saw the disk monitor...away went disk spy. Get this if you don't have it. Stable on 10.4.9 update. IT'S FREE.

Parallels Desktop

larry2 reviewed on 23 Feb 2007

Well worth the money. So good I trashed my boot camp. This version with release candidate 3 is super fast, opens almost immediately. I am running XP and I haven't found a program yet that would not run. I just love the coherence mode, now I keep parallels running all the time. A MUST HAVE PROGRAM.

[Version 2.5.3170]

Amadeus Pro

larry2 reviewed on 23 Jan 2007

Very fast. Noticeable faster than regular Amadeus. My favorite feature...batch...very fast. Highly recommended for any audiofile.

iCan

larry2 had trouble on 21 Nov 2006

Great app for desktop trash. However on macbook pro(intels) there is a serious memory leak. If your computer start running abnormally and you have this app running open your activity monitor and check the memory usage for this app. The virtual memory can reach as high as 1gb and real memory as high as 225mb. that is alot for a utility app. Not recommended for intels until it is updated. All that said - Stability - is the ONLY problem with this app.

[Version 3.0.5]

MainMenu Pro

larry2 had trouble on 12 Sep 2006

Do Not use the function: Remove .DS_Store Files... if you have a windows HD. It will wipe the .DS files from the Windows HD, that you didn't know existed and the direve will become corrupt. You may get to work again but it will never be the same so it will be better to start fresh. YUK! TRUST ME ON THIS ONE...EXPERIENCE LEADS THE WAY!!!

P.S. This not the fault of this program it is grreat. The faulty information in Apple not passing on such valuable information. This is still the best Utility for Intel Macs. Would still like for it to inspect font cache and REALLY clean font caches instead of having to use font finagler.
