CROW I love the widget - but it has a box on the front that tells me that there's an update available, all the time. Clicking on it doesn't do anything. As far as I can tell, it's the latest version. Anyone else have this? (Version 2.1) | |

CROW Indeed - I would love to be able to sync to my own server... (Version 0.8) | |

VMware Fusion | Jul 31 2008 |
CROW I'm surprised to hear some people are having issues. I think this is the slickest piece of software I've ever used. It is literally a perfect solution for running Windows apps on the Mac, and it's so impressive at doing that, that I've been showing this to everyone in my office. I am even endorsing this to incoming Mac-using students to our university as a seamless way to "fit in" to our Windows-centric environment. We used to tell students that they needed a PC, and that they'd have a hard time with a Mac. Now I feel comfortable telling them that they can keep their Mac, and this will work for the remaining software packages that don't have a Mac version. My personal feeling is that one shouldn't pollute one's Mac with Windows - but if it's unavoidable, this is the ideal way to go. :) FWIW, this may be a beta - but it's been absolutely rock-solid for me, and I tend to really tax my system. (Version 2.0b2) | |

CROW Indeed, I must agree that I am very disappointed that GroupCal has not yet been made Leopard-compatible. Having paid for the software, I expect much better support than this. (Version 3.94) | |

CROW Will this be updated to work with iPhoto 7? I really miss this application... (Version 1.4) | |

CROW This is back to being my favourite application. I find it indispensible for MySQL administration. The past few versions have been rock-solid. Setup is still a little tricky, but has been improved considerably with the setup scripts. (Version 2.11.2.2) | |

CROW I really look forward to the new Leopard version. Now that Apple has changed their icons, Viou is needed more than ever! :) (Version 2.5) | |

CROW I do hope it is re-tooled for Leopard. I don't know what I'd do without it! (Version 1.2b4) | |

CROW I don't find it cumbersome. It would be good if you could outline why you find it unintuitive, or point to better products as examples. (Version 6.0.2) | |

MAMP | Mar 6 2007 |
CROW I had hoped for an easy solution to get Apache 2/PHP 5/MySQL 5...but I couldn't believe it was this easy. After I downloaded it and started it up, I almost laughed out loud - I thought it was too good to be true. I had imagined I would be spending an afternoon messing with my system, but it was up and running in about 30 seconds. Thanks for this. Awesome. (Version 1.5b1) | |

CROW I don't know what I'd do without this app. As a web designer, it's invaluable for determining available screen real estate. Thanks so much for this - I've been using it since the first version. (Version 1.7b5) | |

GroupCal | Jan 17 2007 |
CROW This has indeed become much more stable in the past few releases, and the developers are very helpful. My only complaint is how slow it seems to be. I have a dual 2.5GHz G5 PowerMac with 2GB RAM on a fast LAN, and I can really feel it when it begins to sync. Things slow considerably, and it takes a long time (I believe I have it configured properly - including no longer syncing items older than 2 weeks, and tasks past 5 days). Invitations to calendar requests take a very long time, as well (a couple of minutes. Is this normal?). (Version 3.78) | |

CROW Of course - sorry, that was dumb. Indeed, I have now set this appropriately. (Version 3.78) | |

GroupCal | Jan 8 2007 |
CROW How does one prevent the synchronization of years of events? I would like them saved (ie. appear in both calendars) - but they certainly don't need to be updated every 15 minutes. Is GroupCal smart enough to only sync changes? Or does it do everything, every time? (Version 3.75) | |

GroupCal | Nov 23 2006 |
CROW Hmmm...not as happy with this version. Since I updated, all of my calendars in iCal were duplicated, and the "sync" has been going now for more than 4 hours - and I doubt it will end successfully at this point. (Version 3.7) | |

GroupCal | Oct 3 2006 |
CROW I'm happy to report that GroupCal seems to have worked out the serious bugs, and I've purchased it. It's working smoothly, with a couple of minor bumps: it's quite slow - particularly with Tasks; it took several hours to email a meeting change to a colleague. These aren't deal-breakers to me...just annoyances. Each release gets more solid, however. (Version 3.62) | |

Application Enhancer | May 31 2006 |
CROW I love it, too. It has not caused me any pain, nor has it slowed me down perceptively. If you don't have a lot of RAM, maybe it would - but that's the same for any app. I can't work without Windowshade. (Version 2.0) | |

GroupCal | May 29 2006 |
CROW GroupCal has now completely trashed my calendars in iCal twice. After the first time, I suspected a conflict with iSync/.Mac, but I have since turned off .Mac (I was trying it out). The second time, I believe I opened iCal during a sync. I could initially see my schedules, but they suddenly all vanished, leaving no calendars listed. I closed iCal, waited for a bit (to make sure GroupCal was finished) and then opened iCal. Nothing but the default Work and Home calendars, both blank. When I checked the size of the iCal database, it confirmed my fears. Everything was gone. I'm relieved to see it didn't trash my Exchange calendars, but this is simply not usable. I had high hopes for this as a solution for all of our Mac users on the Exchange system at our university, but I cannot recommend it to anyone. (Version 3.30) | |

GroupCal | May 12 2006 |
CROW Seems to work, though the GroupCal app won't open for me anymore (quits immediately on open). I suspect it started quitting after I turned on the menu item, but I can't turn it off now (because the setting is in the app). It's working anyway, but requires a lot of RAM and I can periodically hear my hard drive become very active. I'd like this to be a little more solid for the money, and that's why I'm still using it in demo. I can't recommend it yet to all of the Mac users in our Faculty, but it's getting closer. (Version 3.30) | |

CROW Wow - up until this version (2.8) everything was great. I cannot for the life of me get this version to work, despite following the instructions to the letter. I get errors such as "A session is active. You cannot change the session module's ini settings at this time", even when I try using the setup script. I love this app. I hope this is a bug that will be fixed soon, or that it is something that can be solved by better documentation. For right now, I can't use it. (Version 2.8b1) | |

CROW This simply does not work for me. I am on a PowerMac Quad G5, running 10.4.3. I installed everything I was supposed to, and attempting to launch the program does nothing. (Version 1.0 RC1) | |
