Currency Converter

nstanosheck reviewed on 12 Mar 2009

Much needed after the included "Unit Converter" widget that did this stopped working in early March

[Version 1.2]

Not on par with the Linux or Windows versions yet, but there have been a LOT of improvements from the official TenCent QQ for Mac 1.0pre1 and this newest build. Finally we have access to more profile information changing and access to QQ mail and account features from the application.

[Version 1.0pre3]

AddressBookSync

nstanosheck reviewed on 07 Dec 2008

Even though I login to my account it syncs with my daughter's account. She uses Safari, i use Firefox. As such, it makes this worthless to me.

My daughter is logged in in Safari, but Safari is not open. I am logged in in Firefox and when the app, asks me to log-in, I log in as me, even though it brings up her account first (in a webkit auto-fill maybe?). Even though I sign in as myself the title bar clearly shows it is her account and the friends listed shows me the same. :-(

I found a fix for me. I uninstalled Safari completely (by using AppCleaner.app) and then reinstalled it, and then AddressBookSync 1.1.1 would let me sync with my own Facebook account.

VolumeWorks

The least expensive fully featured partition and defrag tool, yet it is a great product with EXCELLENT customer service supporting it!

Yellow Dog Linux

nstanosheck reviewed on 28 Apr 2007

I love YDL 3.0 on my old 3400c PowerBook, but was not the biggest fan of 4.1 and switched to Ubuntu for a while, but once Yellow Dog Linux 4.1 came out I switched back and was happy as a clam. YDL 5.0.1 really seems more modern and a much better release. Linux is different and can be hard, but please be sure to use the forum, the mailing lists, and the online help. There is even a book you can buy from Terra Soft Solution! Give it a full 2 weeks to try it out using the numerous support options available and you too will most likely fall in love with this free OS called Yellow Dog Linux.

Strong rumours say that most PowerPC Apple Macinstosh Computers will not be supported after Mac OS X 10.5, so this is the future for all PPC Mac owners.

[Version 5.0.1]

I meant I was not the biggest fan of 4.0 but when 4.1 came out it fixed all the issues and I switched back from Ubuntu to YDL for good.

Before You Know It

nstanosheck reviewed on 10 Apr 2007

I found this a very good way to learn and memorize the Mandarin dialect of Chinese. I liked it so much that I upgraded to the Deluxe version and very glad that I did.

Mac OS X Daylight Saving Time Software Fix

nstanosheck reviewed on 06 Mar 2007

I installed this on an old clamshell iBook running Mac OS 10.2.8 and can verify that it installed and worked on it.

It is too bad Apple, Inc. did not make a fix except for people using 10.4.6+ since they made many Macs made in the last 10 years that cannot run 10.4.x. Thank you UNH CIS!
