BOB_WEINER  Have you contacted the developer? They are super responsive and are always ready to help.   
(Version 2.1)

BOB_WEINER  For my money, SuperDuper 2.1 is hands-down the BEST Mac back-up program on the market, bar none. Version 2 adds a nice feature to schedule your back-ups - mine are set to occur every evening. To quote the Ronco infommercial: "Set it and Forget it!" My questions to the developer have been answered promptly, courteously, and correctly - usually less than 20 minutes after I've sent an e-mail. Now that's service!  
(Version 2.1)

BOB_WEINER  unbelievably addictive, slick graphics, killer soundtrack, and the ability to save your game and buy power-ups within the game. Gameplay is fast and furious, but you can scale it down. Lots of options to customize. If you like side-scrolling arcade action, this game is for you! Highly recommended.  
(Version 1.32)

BOB_WEINER  This is the Virtual Desktop app I've been waiting for. I've been using Desktop Manager for almost 2 years now, and decided to try VirtueDesktop today for grins and giggles. I love the fact that I can assign apps to specific windows - customizeability is very flexible - though I wish there was some proper documentation to explain some of the basic set-up. Still, it's hard to beat - it's fast AND free, and works great!  
(Version 0.52r138)

BOB WEINER  This program saved my thesis outline, and several freelance projects I'd been working on that I accidentally deleted two nights before. Yes, I do back-ups, but my last known back-up was 3 weeks ago. Enter FileSalvage. This program works as advertised. It was able to retrieve over 80% of my data, intact. As for the price - how much is your data really worth? I think $80 is a fair price - it's about $10 more than DiskWarrior, and in my opinion, FileSalvage is just as important to have around as DW.  
(Version 4.2)

KRISHNA SADASIVAM  Does what it says it does - which is something that Apple should have done in the first place. Kudos to the developer!  
(Version 1.0)

BOB WEINER  Extremely useful and elegant in organizing my books, CDs and DVDs (I'm not a gamer, so I haven't tested this part out, but I am confident it will work).   
(Version 1.5.2)

BOB WEINER  TransparentDock is a great program, and I feel its worth the shareware cost. It does what it says on the tin, and it has NEVER given my system any problems whatsoever. People whining about the shareware fee are probably the same ones who pirate programs anyway. Support quality shareware. If you like it, buy it.  
(Version 2.3.3)

BOB WEINER  Great graphics and very playable, even with a keyboard, which is traditionally where most driving games have disappointed me in the past. This is a fun game, similar to Mario Kart in many ways.   
(Version 1.01)

BOB WEINER  $20 is a bit unreasonable - I am willing to pay up to $10 for this utility, but $20 is just not worth it. (And before anyone jumps on me, I vote with my dollars and pay for shareware that I actually use.  
(Version 1.0)

BOB WEINER  Very easy to use, and works great under Tiger. Thank you Keaka Jackson, for making Visage available under Tiger!  
(Version 2.0)

BOB WEINER  Awesome!! Thanks so much for creating Visage version 2.0 :)  
(Version 2.0)

BOB WEINER  Are there any Tiger compatible programs that have Visage's equivalent functionality?  
(Version 1.2.4)

BOB WEINER  The latest version of Fontcard fixes an annoying issue where subsequent visits to the pull-down Font menus in Photoshop would cause a noticeable lag. So, I am once again a happy camper. Thanks for the fix, Unsanity!  
(Version 1.3.1)

BOB WEINER  Stop drinking beer for a night and buy the program. It's worth it.  
(Version 3.2)

BOB WEINER  Thanks for that link! I've installed the new DTM from the FTP site and it works great with Tiger.  
(Version 0.5.2-rc2)

PCWEENIES.ORG CARTOONIST  Great application. My wife and I have used it to voice chat with our relatives in Mumbai, India - who also have Skype (Windows version). Audio reception is crystal clear. Built-in echo cancellation works well as well. The iSight camera, with built-in microphone, works great with Skype. Looking forward to a future version that promises video. Highly recommended, especially if you want to talk to relatives overseas for free.  
(Version 1.0.0.15)

BOB WEINER  Newest beta works great, as usual. Rock-solid stable.   
(Version 1.0b33)

BOB WEINER  Outstanding work!   
(Version 1.0)

BOB WEINER  It's a FREE upgrade for registered users of 1.2 and earlier.  
(Version 2.0)

BOB WEINER  Fast, fast, fast! (and stable too!)  
(Version 0.8.1)

KRISHNA SADASIVAM  I'm curious...How different is this program from the Marine Aquarium program?  
(Version 0.9.4)

BOB WEINER  Netscape is BACK, baby. 7.2 is the best incarnation yet. On a whim, I decided to download it -- sure, the last time I touched Netscape it was a bloated pig. But, hey, I'm at work -- and I've got time to test it. It's fast, it's furious, and it's what 7.1 and 6 should have been in the first place.

I'm happy I gave Netscape 7.2 a whirl. I like it, and I just may start using it again. Welcome back, Netscape!  
(Version 7.2)

BOB WEINER  Excellent program! It does its job quite well, and now I've been able to make back-ups of a few DVDs in our collection. For people cribbing about the price -- if you had to replace 3 DVDs in your collection it would probably average $60. I think the price is fair for what it does. I'm very satisfied with this purchase and encourage anyone who's contemplating the notion of backing up their DVDs to go with DVD2OneX. Highly recommended.  
(Version 1.3)

PCWEENIES.COM CARTOONIST  Slow, but a necessary evil for web-designers to insure that their site will render on all browsers. Since the arrival of Safari and Firefox, Explorer is all but banished from my Mac's hard drive. I don't really miss it much, either.   
(Version 5.2.3)

PCWEENIES.COM CARTOONIST  A must-have if you're using iTunes. I can't really imagine how I lived without this great little app. Highly recommended!  
(Version 1.1)

BOB WEINER  Thanks!  
(Version 0.5.2-rc1)

BOB WEINER  couldn't find the latest 0.5.2-rc1 build -- and the Download link appears to be broken. Could someone point me to the download? Thanks!  
(Version 0.5.2-rc1)

BOB WEINER  There is still no means of documentation or automation to migrate from a previous version of Thunderbird over to the newest version. I've checked the website, and have not been able to locate directions on what the procedure is to move from 0.6 to 0.7c. I've noticed that Thunderbird 0.7c places all Profiles information under ~/Library/Thunderbird whereas the previous version stored it in /Library/Thunderbird. Simply copying over my previous profile information from the /Library/Thunderbird directory over to ~/Library/Thunderbird does not result in me being able to see any of my emails or address book. This is a serious issue and needs to be addressed before the 1.0 release.   
(Version 0.7a)

BOB WEINER  downloaded the program with no problems. Launching is much faster, as is surfing. Don't know why the others here were having so many problems. Firefox is an excellent browser -- can't wait for 1.0!  
(Version 0.9)

BOB WEINER  does what it says it will do, and does it well. An excellent program -- though I do wish the shareware price was a little less expensive (I can pay $5 for this, but $15 is a bit too much.)  
(Version 2.3)

BOB WEINER  But you're not rating thee program based on its own merits -- you're rating it as a comparison against other programs. I don't believe your rating correctly reflects things like the program's stability, etc.   
(Version 5.2.1)

BOB WEINER  If you are using other programs in place of DragThing -- why did you give the program a 1 star rating?   
(Version 5.2)

BOB WEINER  updated my sister's iBook G4 with this -- hard to say whether or not anything was actually fixed (because I haven't played around with it in the week I've had it), but the update was smooth -- no problems were encountered.  
(Version 1.0)

BOB WEINER  Awesome -- happened to just stumble upon this app -- and it was quite fortunate indeed. Kudos to the author. This program is exactly what I've been looking for. :)  
(Version 1.5.8)

BOB WEINER  Excellent icons - very stylish and eye catching. Kudos to the artist!  
(Version )

BOB WEINER  A host of improvements -- namely the addition of the 'Mark Junk' button on the toolbar (which was sorely lacking in previous releases) and a 'Mark' button which actually works. The interface looks a lot cleaner, too. Overall, I'm impressed. :)  
(Version 0.6)

BOB WEINER  Easy to use, and convenient. Works for me -- great job, developer! Endorsed by pcweenies.com  
(Version 2.0)

BOB WEINER  Awesome! I'm glad this release was available for FREE for those of us who purchased 3.0. I was a bit miffed at having to pay $12.95 for the 3.0.1 update, so -- I didn't. Instead, I waited. Thankfully, Alsoft has made the 3.0.2 updater free for download. Once again, I'm a happy camper. DiskWarrior is a MUST-HAVE utility if you're using a Mac (OSX or Classic).  
(Version 3.0.2)

BOB WEINER  After downloading this program, it bombs during the install, with an error that occurs when the program tries to complete installing the DATA.HST file. Quite frustrating as I was really interested in playing the demo.  
(Version 1.0.1)

BOB WEINER  Always satisified. Kensington is a class act - from the terrific drivers, to the no-questions-asked warranty. I've been using Kensington mice for 5 years and have been extremely satisfied with their products and support.   
(Version 2.5b1)

BOB_WEINER  An excellent update!

Installed on Pismo, Single 1.8 GHz G5 and Dual 2GHz G5. Machine responsiveness is definitely improved as is networking. A new version of Safari comes bundled with this update (bringing it up to 1.2.1). Browser speed significantly faster, as well.

Highly recommended.  
(Version 10.3.3)

BOB_WEINER  Pointless. Not worth the download effort. Really.  
(Version 1.0)

BOB_WEINER  Amusing -- worth checking out if you're a Simpsons fan...  
(Version 0.1)

BOB_WEINER  Fast and stable, and the transitions supplied are amazing! I use this program at work -- it's missing some features present in CodeTek's Virtual Desktop, but it also has feautures that CodeTek's doesn't (i.e. window cycling transitions). Great price and great program. Download it! :)  
(Version 0.5.1)

BOB_WEINER  I ran Delocalizer on my hard drive, under OS X 10.3.2 and everything worked perfectly. The app does what it says it will do, and I ended up saving over 521 MB on my hard drive! The cost is worth the price of admission alone - after all, you can't beat FREE! Highly recommended.  
(Version 1.1)

BOB_WEINER  received a 'curl error' after launching the app. I'll hold off on using CaminoKnight until this bug is addressed.  
(Version 2.3)

BOB_WEINER  updated smoothly using Software Update on both a Dual 2GHz G5 (home) and single 1.8 G5 (work) without any issues whatsoever.   
(Version 1.4.2)

BOB_WEINER  Flawless download -- speed improvements are significant compared to previous versions. Page compatibility has been improved as well.   
(Version 1.2)

BOB_WEINER  Wonderful icon designs! Every model of Apple and Macintosh computer is represented here, in pixel perfect detail. Even peripherals (including esoteric ones, such as an Apple IIGS Bose Speaker icon!) are here for the taking. Fantastic attention to detail and well worth the download. Kudos to the icon artist!  
(Version 1.0)

BOB_WEINER  BMMS is an excellent game -- no doubt about that -- however, the previous version had a few annoying bugs in Panther (including not being able to play or hear any of the soundtracks during the game). Happily, this bug, and other little ones, have all disappeared. Plus, we have some new tiles featuring new characters. How cool is that? :)

A great game, perfect for those that want to unwind. Highly Recommended.  
(Version 1.1)

BOB_WEINER  CodeTek has made an excellent program even better, with 3.0 bringing several new useful features and refinements to the table -- all without changing its legenedary ease of use and excellent customizability. The new upgrade price ($15) for owners of versions 2.x is reasonable. Expose now functions properly within each of the virtual desktops. You can now autolaunch CTVD when logging in. I cannot live without this app!   
(Version 3.0)

BOB_WEINER  I thought the guitar licks sounded familiar -- but you're right, D! It IS SRV - and I think one of the tunes is "Pride and Joy". I agree, credit should be given to the artist for usage of his samples.  
(Version 1.2.1)

BOB_WEINER  Decided to try this program on a whim - as I'm really into blues guitar music. Wow - was I pleasantly surprised - it's incredibly fun to 'jam' with the drums and guitar. Very simple, and satisfies my jonesing to play along with the band, if nothing else, as a distraction to the everyday work I do. Very cool concept, and hope to see it developed even more! Great job!  
(Version 1.2.1)

BOB_WEINER  This program is impressive. No....VERY impressive -- it works as advertised, and now lets me truly multitask while watching my favorite DVDs.   
(Version 1.0)

BOB_WEINER  A really nice Lode Runner clone -- alas it locks up my Mac after the 5th level. I'm running 10.3.2 on a Dual G5.  
(Version 1.1)

BOB_WEINER  Excellent program, though it's not Panther compatible yet. Looking forward to the update!  
(Version 1.2.4)

BOB_WEINER  Transmit is one of the finest programs I've had the pleasure to use on the Macintosh. It does its job, and does it well! My favorite feature is 'synchronize', which automatically uploads the appropriate files and folders that have changed since my last website update. I continue to rely on it for maintaining pcweenies.com. Highly recommended.  
(Version 2.6.2)

BOB_WEINER  the security update went without any issues. So far so good. Thanks, Apple! :)  
(Version 2003-12-05)

BOB_WEINER  TransparentDock works as advertised, and adds even more Dock customizations than simply making it transparent. Works fine under Panther (I'm running it with OS X 10.3.1) on a Dual 2GHz G5.  
(Version 2.2)

BOB_WEINER  Beautiful icons -- just wish we could have one for the Desktop Printer icon. Awesome stuff!  
(Version )

BOB WEINER  CaminoKnight does not seem to recognize the location of Camino on my hard drive (the Camino app is greyed out). I've never had problems with CK before (on my G4), but it's not working on my Dual G5.  
(Version 2.1)

BOB_WEINER  Installed flawlessly on my Dual G5, Dual G4 and Pismo. Noticeable window redrawing speed. Kudos to Apple for another great update!  
(Version 6.4)

BOB_WEINER  Works as advertised, and incredible support from CodeTek on their fantastic product. I can't imagine using a Mac without this wonderful program. It does what it says it will, and does it well. It's a must-have for keeping my work-flow organized. Highly recommended.  
(Version 2.3.12)

BOB_WEINER  Downloaded the demo, but could not locate the application file. All I see are .dat files and other funky looking component files.  
(Version 1.33)

BOB_WEINER  As of this post, my G5 does not pick up the 10.2.8 updater via Software Update. Has anyone else successfully retrieved the G5 10.2.8 update?  
(Version 10.2.8)

BOB_WEINER  I was surprised to discover that beginning with Cocktail 2.5, one must register the program before the program will run. Ponying up for the money a few days back, I still haven't received my registration code. Not too worried, but disconcerting nonetheless.  
(Version 2.6)

BOB_WEINER  This is cool news. Kudos to Adobe for releasing the optimized G5 drivers! Now all I need is my G5 hardware to test things out. :)  
(Version 1.0.4)

BOB_WEINER  update installed smoothly -- kudos to Apple for getting this update out!  
(Version 2003-08-14)

BOB_WEINER  To the person that mentions that DF is 27% the cost of OSX. You do have a choice -- you don't have to buy it. I, on the other hand, feel its worth every penny. It's streamlined my workflow and that saves me time AND money.  
(Version 1.8b5)

BOB_WEINER  4.8 adds to the incredible legacy that is GraphicConverter. It's quite simply the best shareware program I've ever used on a Macintosh. It's easy to use, features tons of options for converting from one graphic format to another, and also works great for organizing image files. If you have a Mac, and you deal with images, you'll want this program. Endorsed fully by pcweenies.com  
(Version 4.8)

BOB_WEINER  The 2.3.6 update adds even more subtle refinements to an already superb program.  
(Version 2.3.6)

BOB_WEINER  Definitely much faster than before. A subjective test whereby I dragged the mouse across the menu bar, using the new version of FruitMenu 3.1, was very impressive. Kudos to UnSanity for the terrific speed improvements!  
(Version 3.1)

BOB_WEINER  WebPics is an excellent utility that works as advertised. The program is stable, flexible, and worth the shareware price. I use it to manage all the archive cartoons on pcweenies.com  
(Version 2.6.1)

BOB WEINER  I was able to finally get Kung-Log to work! I had incorrcectly referenced the wrong CGI script -- once this was fixed, I was good to go. I love Kung-Log! It works really great and certainly simplifies my weblogging (at pcweenies.com).  
(Version 1.5.3)

BOB_WEINER  I am unable to connect via XML-RPC. Not sure what the dealio is, but it is rather frustrating.  
(Version 1.5.3)

BOB_WEINER  Since 1.0.1 and the fact I've switched to an NVidia GeForce4MX, I have NOT been able to get this game to work on my G4/Dual 450. The latest updater does not solve the problem. It renders my screen black, with the mouse cursor being the only item visible. C'mon Ambrosia! Fix this problem!!  
(Version 1.0.4)

BOB_WEINER  Quite simply - this is world class software for the Mac. I've used this program both personally, and professionally, since 1996, and it maintains a permanent space on my computer's hard drive. If you work with graphics or photos, you NEED GraphicConverter!  
(Version 4.7)

BOB_WEINER  I feel that Safari 1.0 is noticeably faster at rendering pages, when compared with the betas. I've been using it since the early beta release, and it has gotten better, stronger, and faster each time. Love it!  
(Version 1.0)

BOB_WEINER  downloaded the update -- installed perfectly. Scrolling seems to be much more robust. So far, works like a charm!  
(Version 2.3)

BOB_WEINER  Stable, useful, and absolutely indispensible for improving your productivity. In short, if you use OSX, this little app should be on your hard drive. Shareware price should be lowered to $20.00, though, to make it sell through the roof.  
(Version 1.7)

BOB_WEINER  The Rotate L and Rotate R features are a welcome addition. (If they were there before, I simply must have overlooked it.) Kudos to another terrific update!  
(Version 7.6.43)

BOB_WEINER  This might help some people that have been complaining about speed issues when scanning with VueScan. Make sure you change your output setting to 'Web' for quick scans. It does an excellent job and you can get a quick-n-dirty preview of what your scan will look like.   
(Version 7.6.41)

BOB_WEINER  I've been using VueScan for over a year now. I can safely say that it is one of my main applications. It's helped make use of my UMAX Vista S6E scanner I purchased back in '96. While I'm very happy with the scanner, UMAX's decision not to write OSX drivers for it led me to try Hamrick's solution.

Enter VueScan. It scans reliably, the program itself is very stable and laden with advance features, and the stream of updates only betters the software. For production work, I highly recommend it. Without it, I doubt very seriously I could continue to maintain my website (pcweenies.com). Thanks, Hamrick Software!  
(Version 7.6.38)

BOB_WEINER  Excellent game with superb graphics -- though it is maddengly addictive! Reminds me a bit of the old game "Pipe Dreams", but it has to be played to be experienced. Controls take a bit to get used to, but once you are familiar with them, the challenge begins. Great game!  
(Version 1.0)

BOB_WEINER  Installed 10.2.6 on both Dual 450 and Pismo -- so far, no significant problems - minor speed increase. Installed without a problem!  
(Version 10.2.6)

BOB_WEINER  I find Cocktail 2.1 to be indispensable in maintaining my hard drive. What we have here is a nice collection of utilities in one low footprint package. It's easy to use, stable, and, even better, absolutely free. A must-have if you are using OSX.   
(Version 2.1)

BOB_WEINER  Painless upgrade -- improved streaming performance when compared to version 5.x. I can't live without the Pro version for my video/post-production work.  
(Version 6.2)
