FRANKO  DT might be in the running with IRCle for the longest Beta ;)

Despite this DT remains an app I cannot do without. Yes its look is aged but, like an old VW Beetle, you'll still take care of it for its great strengths and capabilities carried out with aplomb.

Mozy for Mac
Oct 29 2009

FRANKO  While I have none of the problems aforementioned by fellow users, 1 problem that still keeps me away if Mozy's annoying feature which disallows my Mac from sleeping as per Energy Saver settings.

The same, btw, exists for iDrive so I'm quickly running out of offsite backup solutions :(

JABMenu
Oct 7 2009
*****

FRANKO  Not 5 minutes into the trial. i registered JABMenu for 2 licenses. I'm an old iAddressX user (still have it on my G5) and JABMenu is just the what I need as a replacement on my Macbook. running 10.6.1

Listing is quick and options as plentiful, I no longer have to fire up AB each time I need a number/email addy.

A suggestion: if at all possible JABMenu would be handy as a prefpane instead of a standalone app.

Cabos

FRANKO  Sweet! Cabos may be a little rough around the edged but it works real well on my Powermac DP 2.0 running 10.5.8.

Garmin Communicator Plugin
Sep 10 2009

FRANKO  Once again Safari 4.03 does not load the plug in (2.8.2) and Garmin's test page cannot detect it. Firefox 3.5.3 however loads it fine and the plug-in is detected.

Following the tip from Mikencolo: I put Flip4Mac's plugins into a temp folder (Flip4Mac WMV Plugin.plugin and Flip4Mac WMV Plugin.webplugin)

Restarted Safari and success, the plug in is detected.

Now who'll fix the problem: Telestream or Garmin? ;)

CoRD
Sep 9 2009
****.

FRANKO  Ok I realize the following adjective is used ad nauseam but...CoRD is "snappy" on my DP 2.0 Powermac G5! While MS' RD is ok, CoRD brings up the Vista DT in the time you can say "BSOD" :)

Apple Safari
Jun 8 2009
****.

FRANKO  Installed v 4 on my PowerMac DP 2 running 10.5.7

Installation (done through Install pckage and not SW) was a breeze; the Welcome vid a nice touch typical of Apple. Thus far no crash/sudden quits and this puppy is QUICK! Pages load/render way faster than v 3.x,

Only minor annoyance is Top Sites; perhaps it's my mac but it did take about 10 minutes to fill the grid.

Me likey thus far.....

FRANKO  Add sounds: If you want Syrinx to use other sounds than that of your System, John Martellaro posted a neat how-to here:

Apple Time Capsule and AirPort Base Station Firmware
Mar 6 2009

FRANKO  Updated both a first generation Airport Extreme (flat model previous to the Fast Gigabit) and the latest Airport Express without problems.

Restarting took a little longer so don't go pushing reset buttons or yanking the power plug. Let it be and it will flash green eventually.

Glad to see this update brings MobileMe Airdisk access (located as a tab under Advanced)

FRANKO  One of my most used widgets, DS is such a simple yet useful program ou there. Add the inexpensive iPhone/iPodTouch version and you have a complete tracking package that works from the get go.
