Thunderbolt Software Update

Tomstraus commented on 16 Sep 2011

I received an email from Apple concerning this update but it didn't show up under the Software Update menu. I wonder why?

No I don't. I just like keeping my MacBook Pro up-to-date.

Synk Pro

Tomstraus reviewed on 09 Dec 2010

I have been a very satisfied user of Synk Standard 6 for several years to maintain a bootable backup. I downloaded and installed Synk Pro 7 last night. Overnight, it finally finished its rebuild of a bootabl backup on the extrnal drive. It now continuously checks for changes in just seconds and then goes dormant. I even tried ejecting the external disk without turning off Synk and it handled it smoothly. It was even able to remount the external disk by just turning the script off and then back on. I am truly impressed! I have no connection to the developer except being a very satisfied user.

StuffIt Deluxe 2011

tomstraus commented on 11 Oct 2007

I would really like to read opinions of how the software works from people who have tried the new StuffIt Deluxe 12.0, rather than from those who are offering criticisms of the company or the pricing.

Opal

tomstraus reviewed on 23 Aug 2006

Opal, an OS X update to Acta, has some nice additional features and works as expected. Import of OPML permits translation of a number of other formats to Opal. It doesn't have the extensive feature set of OmniOutliner or TAO, but then, some of us taking notes just want something simple and easy that works fast. Opal does this.

TAO

tomstraus reviewed on 18 Mar 2006

Now that TAO can import MORE documents, it has become the best outliner currently on the market. Its import of outlines is flawless, including comments, formatting, page breaks, etc., unlike OmniOutliner, which just brings in the basic outline and comments. Its structure is somewhat more cumbersome than MORE was (and still is, under Classic); its style sheets take a bit of practice to master.

The comments about it being only a beta are a bit unfair. The changes made between updates are just that - updates with significant improvements. See VueScan for the way it should be done. This is a worthwhile outliner.
