AVOID RETROSPECT AT ALL COSTS.

If your company depends on reliable and restorable backups - look elsewhere.
Our production facility has invested thousands of dollars in site fees and upgrades,
and whenever we really need a Retrospect backup to save our bacon - it FAILS.

Retrospect is slow, buggy, unreliable in network settings, and unable to restore even
simple storage sets. Gawd forbid you need to restore from an older storage set.

There is no excuse for current owner, (insert name here), to keep milking the same
dead cow -- move on and create something fresh, new, slim, and reliable.

Use this product at your own peril.

MailSteward is superb software and fills a vital niche for Mac users.
I have used this software for years -- and consider a 'paid upgrade' a
very small price to pay to have access to such a superb product.

Considering that many of us are held hostage by outrageous upgrade
prices from the likes of Adobe, Microsoft and other major publishers,
I find it troubling that you are comfortable beating up on a small
independent guy with a smaller niche market and profitability.

Geez -- if we continue to berate small developers, we will forever suffer
being in the clutches of the big guys who provably don't care.

MailSteward is a fine product -- we should be eager to support the developer!

//Quit soapbox

Google should be ashamed of this virus-like bloatware.

Think I'm exaggerating? Go look at your Activity Monitor, look at all the spurious processes running as ROOT. Count the processes, the daemons, the background events that spawn off this crap. Then -- try to REMOVE IT. Yeah, there is an 'uninstaller'.... LOL.

I just spent five ugly hours uninstalling the bits of crud Google spewed all over a clients computer after an unwitting dweeb employee installed Google's perpetual gift to mankind. This stuff is almost as bad as Norton's NAV which like hydra spews crud all over your drive and dares you to find it and remove it.

Google should stick to simple electronic hide-and-seek -- and leave real code and apps to people who adhere to best practices, and have a clue how to code for speed, reliability and security.

Only wish it were possible to gift Google -5 stars

TOTALLY IMPRESSIVE -- awesome concept. Saves space in the dock, and makes
it super easy to find and launch Adobe apps easily and quickly. Very very nice
execution. Hats off to the developer.

Please donate to support his work!!!!

Feature requests:
1. Be able to quit Adobe Dock without force quit.
2. Change icon so that the AD matches the color of default Adobe icons
3. Auto-discovery of other Adobe apps, like Adobe DNG Converter, etc

In a more perfect world -- Schreiben would be the 'Word Killer' app.

Powerful, yet uncluttered interface. Check out the precise typographic controls in heads-up display, or the amazing (and animated) tool to resize embedded graphics.

Layout tools, color and font choices, styles, and amazing array of controls are are cleanly and clearly in one place, with helper files and callouts to identify icons if you need help.

Licenses are far too inexpensive, and the process from being impressed to getting a license was less than five minutes -- which is almost how long it takes Word to launch.

Oh, and the price -- Less than coffee at Starbucks.

Schreiben is perhaps one of the best examples of why using a Mac is so much fun -- great software that just works...

Downloaded, installed, and actually wanted to try it out. After 10 minutes it still hadn't retrieved a 'personal phone number' or passkey. Beginning to lose my patience to even TRY this.... If it's this hard to get to first base.... imagine trying to make that important call.

Elementary question here: What interface is used to get the discrete audio inputs into the Mac?

Manufacturers? Models? What do you recommend?
It would seem that the mating of this software to that hardware would be esssential -- let the software release is silent on this.

Thanks.
