You seem to have missed England out... :-(

Cheers again!

GraphicConverter

I'm sure this has been mentioned before but the UB download includes 50Mb of non-English PDF documentation. Surely making this available as a separate download would drastically reduce hosting costs and download times for users?

Parallels Desktop

Buy now and you are essentially beta testing. I wish I had figured this out prior to coughing up $80 and then being asked for an upgrade fee for a still buggy version.

I felt thoroughly cheated, so much so I moved to VMware, at least they have the honesty to say there app is a beta.

Halo

I never finished HALO on my xbox so recently played through an entire campaign in 2 days on my MacPro. No lock-ups or freezes, very smooth frame rate, pretty much perfect and loads of fun.

iUSBCam

Riddler reviewed on 07 Aug 2004

Just tried this for the first time with a Toucam Pro and IOXperts drivers on my Dad's Dual 533 G4. Tried two video chats and both worked perfectly. The Toucam Pro was always a great cam, if ugly, so I'm chuffed my Pa can put it to use now.

It does eat alot of CPU cycles but then it is having to convert the USB video feed to a DV feed on the fly isn't it?

Firefox

Riddler commented on 09 Feb 2004

It's a nice browser these days, the Pin Stripe theme (now default) is much more Mac OS X like, plus it's the fastest browser out there in my experience.

Bloated, yeah it takes up 29Mb on my 120,000Mb disk, damn a few more apps this size and I'll need an Xserve RAID!

Mozilla.org has fallen over, search google for "mozilla mirrors", go to the cached version of the Mozilla.org/mirrors page and download from one of the many mirrors, I got it from the Switzerland server.

Microsoft Office 2008

Riddler had trouble on 14 May 2008

After the update you are forced to run Auto Update, if you have no net connection on the machine your updating you can't launch the apps. Great.
