GREGORGY  Maybe a copyright infringement, maybe not, maybe unintentional, maybe not but Clarus is Apple's own DogCow  
(Version 1.0.2)

GREGORGY  Either I have misunderstood you or you have misunderstood me. RB2006 did not support Intel. Several apps simply could not compile and whatever did ran in emulation. I had to upgrade to compile for Intel. Ditto for Leopard. And ditto for Cocoa later this year. TCO for RB is turning out to be a little hefty...  
(Version R2)

GREGORGY  Wow! Really Really Amazing  
(Version 1.0)

GREGORGY  It works but, unlike it's PC compatriot, it does not print and this is serious. It would be really nice to print directions / routes.

I am glad I switched from SD-based to Mac-based navigation but I would really like to be able to do something with the data other than upload it to my GPS, especially considering that plotted routes do not work on any except the top of the range units.

Please, please, add printing or other means to extract the directions and maps (other than screen snapshots!)  
(Version 2.0.1)

GREGORGY  Eagerly awaiting Cocoa support...

It is coming mid-year, according to reports from the Real Software but I gotta say, that is a bit late.  
(Version R1)

GREGORGY  The rest of my comment disappeared at the less than sign so here it is, without entities directly included:

I can't quite review this just yet but I will say, for the price, there isn't anything to drag me away from BBEdit. I understand it is still in beta but when I open a page that is PHP and HTML, it sees the PHP opening statement as an error (the lessthan then questionmark then php) because of the less than sign. Also, BBEdit's tools are far more extensive. I know this is just for web development but things like translate and image and anchor are all really cool tools in BBEdit, which I cannot find in Espresso. Let's see how she grows up - after all, this is from the maker of CSSEdit which is simply fantastic and indispensable to me.

GREGORGY  @shotgun: my thoughts exactly. Registered the day of the review, posted the review, disappeared. I wonder how many crapware devs do this...  
(Version 1.0)

GREGORGY  Just a note: that's quite a heavy price tag for a new kid, especially considering the relative success of competitors Data Rescue and FileSalvage over the heavier Boomerang  
(Version 1.0)

GREGORGY  I work with Arabic, French and English all the time. I am constantly referring to Google Translate (especially with the Arabic) via Safari.

The convenience of using an already-open web browser to get a quick idea of the meaning of tricky words cannot be beat. However, if you were to try and convince me that it could be beat, an app that costs $60 had better do grammar-perfect translations and not just link to an already-convenient online tool...  
(Version 3.0.3)

GREGORGY  Great S/W that works as advertised and I would buy it but: v116 still kills artwork.  
(Version 1.1.6)

GREGORGY  At $65 a pop I hope this comes with a happy ending. I know my other outlets for RSI relief do...  
(Version 4.0.6)

GREGORGY  My experience is identical to yours  
(Version 1.1)

GREGORGY  I downloaded this once as it gave me the ability to look inside a large collection of old ZIPs without extracting them. Then, I forgot about it. It had served its purpose. The, it came up on a MU Promo so I bought it. I do not think I would be able to get by without it nowadays. Definitely a great piece of work!

The ability to peak inside a zip and only take the parts you need is indispensable...  
(Version 1.6)

GREGORGY  Check out the forums at ripdifferent.com

Also, review your workflow for out-of-region stuff. Everything is possible - as long as one knows what one is doing. Admittedly, that is a daunting task.

I do not have any out-of-region stuff myself but I will try and get something and if you post at those forums, I will try to help. I am also sure the developers will help you.  
(Version 4.3)

GREGORGY  While I do not condone piracy, I do believe that this is indeed the attitude of many Toast users. I also believe that the same attitude would change if they had real upgrade and affordability paths...  
(Version 9)

GREGORGY  Another major upgrade - another screwjob from Roxio - still no REAL upgrade price. Living in South Africa, I gotta pay $100 for a new version - and I get to put my old ones on the coaster heap!

Again!

I stopped upgrading Toast after v5 (first Roxio version - Adaptec and Asante were affordable and REALISTICALLY upgradeable).

Thanks to another post here, I have been using LiquidCD for a while and since BluRay has not yet really arrived, I don't need Toast! And I am sure someone else will bring a cheaper competitor anyways.   
(Version 9)

GREGORGY  Seriously, for free? I DLed the latest version a week or so ago and there was a problem. Emailed the developer and got a response FASTER than I have on paid-for products. And it's free?

If you work with any kind of web design or any digital arts for that matter where colour plays a role, you gotta get this.

Did I mention free?  
(Version 1.2)

GREGORGY  I was going to buy this software until I read these reviews. Now I will get English Diablo instead (unless diablo isn;t english)  
(Version 3.2)

GREGORGY  I had been using other software for this but I just got it on the MUPromo (had the demo before, but it sucked). I figured the demo did not warrant the price. I am so glad i got it now - did a sample recompression and my results trumped what I have previous managed out of Popcorn, Toast and DETOX. I am seriously impressed with this.  
(Version 4.2)

GREGORGY  Gotta agree with me mate from Oz - In South Africa, bandwidth is paid for by the megabyte. Each ad I block saves me just a little bit of time and money. Especially considering Flash ads can end up being a MB all on their own....  
(Version 0.2)

GREGORGY  Still have to pay for another functional "upgrade"

Intel cost me $250 a year ago and now Leopard will cost me another $250 since I have a pro license  
(Version R5)

GREGORGY  V1.2 does indeed work!

Thank you to Nokia. It is always comforting to know that more companies are taking us seriously. In the past (especially pre-OS X days) the general feeling one got as a Mac user was that software developers for major hardware products failed to realise our needs. Great to see the industry fore-runners for a myriad of hardware devices are finally realising not only are mac users needy but also power users. Props to Garmin, Sony Ericsson, Nokia and DLink to name a few...  
(Version 1.2)

GREGORGY  That icon - looks like a tadpole, except whitish - kinda like that other microscopic "tadpole"  
(Version 1.1.1)

GREGORGY  if it is wysiwyg, how clean is the code? I find GoLive and Dreamweaver code cluttered myself...  
(Version 1.1)

GREGORGY  So just a phone does not have:

-Caller pictures

-Ring tones

Perhaps such smarty-pants replies need a little education first...  
(Version 1.1.1)

GREGORGY  Great! So now we have to pay to allow our apps to work on Leopard! I wonder, will developers whose products need to be rewritten for Leopard be chaging an upgrade fee - especially since many of us had to pay for Intel a year ago!  
(Version R4)

GREGORGY  Just yesterday I was wondering what had happened with Penelope/ Eudora project. I have always preferred Eudora's filter handling over its competitors. I will downlaod and review this one!  
(Version 8.0b1)

GREGORGY  Try running it in Trial mode. Then forgetting about it (I did - don't use CSS that often as web stuff is not primary in my job). Start it up a long time later and...

TADA:

A cool nag screen on the mac is seen. Not registered I have. A choice must I make. Use and trial leeds to the Dark Side!

As soon as (a) MUPromo or (b) boss agrees to pay, register shall I   
(Version 2.5.2)

GREGORGY  Easier tthan the free ways to do this, I must admit I had problems with the demo a few years ago...  
(Version 3.4.4)

GREGORGY  Still no E60 support

I got the E60 because it is one of the few phones that is just that - a phone.  
(Version 1.1b)

GREGORGY  When I got this on MUPromo bundle, I didn't bother installing it - didn't look like anything useful. A week later, I installed it. Anyone who has ever installed devtools knows that Quartz Composer can do beautiful things. PhotoPresenter exploits this to the max making those effects available to anyone. If I could give a rating of 6 stars, I would! I had to make a screensaver for my company and was halfway through it when I installed this. Ten minutes later, I had a fantastic saver. EXCELLENT!  
(Version 3.0b2)

GREGORGY  This promo has been the litmus test for Mac Software. How good is your software? Find out by being part of a severely contraversial bundle promo. If you swing the vote, you know you're good. If not, back to the drawing board buddy!  
(Version )

GREGORGY  Oh jeez some folk are never happy. Now they want vanity plates on their about screens with no regard to the actual functionality of the software.

C'mon - feel good for paying for software. Feel good for getting it at a decent price. Feel good. Piracy is feel bad...  
(Version )

GREGORGY  After all is said and done, the controversies laid to rest, the software downloaded - let's ask ourselves: do those windoze dorks ever get to see something this cool?

Aaah, one for the faithful  
(Version )

GREGORGY  Because that link is the same as this one...  
(Version )

GREGORGY  TTP has been a mac stable horse for many years. The last ver I owned was for OS 8 many years ago. It saves the bacon. Norton destroys your machine, period.

A caveat: beware of optimisation. Defragging on modern systems can do more bad than good. Google it to see what I mean.  
(Version )

GREGORGY  The bar was lowered for Intaglio - and now we have exceeded its initial target. BoooTeeFill (cos I can't spell Beautiful)  
(Version )

GREGORGY  Yesssssssss baby! Intaglio warms my heart. This promo rocks.... Yeah!  
(Version )

GREGORGY  ambient: Finder FTP does not support uploading (or it never has for me, anyways)

It also holds the finder hostage between some actions.  
(Version )

GREGORGY  Eburgian: I developed a means several months ago to order business cards online to printer's specifications (bleed, proper profiles, etc) where the template matching a company's CI is used on the fly to create press-quality litho-ready PDFs. Some places only have their CIs in FreeHand EPSes. AI does a terrible job of these. AI's handling of SVG sucks.

Then, I discovered Intaglio. Currently, my solution runs headless via the command line BUT it would be useful to manipulate older EPSes and SVGs. Intaglio does this beautifully and I have been meaning to buy it for a while. Getting it now would be cheese, man, cheese!  
(Version )

GREGORGY  xmitman: A membership is useful because you get Watchlists (email notification when a watched up is updated/reviewed/upgraded) and Daily Updates (lists all updates/reviews/upgrades that took place in the last day - EST time)  
(Version )

GREGORGY  name untaken: the exponential slowdown seems to indicate we will fall way short of intaglio. Plus its weekend, which may also slow things down. I wish I could be as optimistic as you are - I'd really like intaglio...  
(Version )

GREGORGY  Whoa macfan601 - hows the axe? Well ground.....

C'mon man - we both want TTP and Intaglio - let's not discourage our potential.  
(Version )

GREGORGY  Macfan 601 - I like your thinking. I was thinking the same thing . I hope MU does too - I would pay an extra amount myself to top-up a missed goal.  
(Version )

GREGORGY  the exponential slow down is going to increase by the weekend - we won't make intaglio :( at this rate...  
(Version )

GREGORGY  Leo: Ver 2.9.5 address my current needs, for starters, and a v3 up will be cheaper than a new purchase anyways.  
(Version )

GREGORGY  Natahn: Let's hope it speeds up. I am really into this for Intaglio. Glad to have update my GKON license and to have Fetch and Amadeus (these three make the $50 value for me at least) but I would really like Intaglio...  
(Version )

GREGORGY  This invite thing is good - the more the merrier!

If I hadn't already purchased, I would do but now I have no idea how...  
(Version )

GREGORGY  Leo - Intaglio's handling of SVG's - especially from openclipart.org - is far better than AI's. It has been on my wishlist for months and I hope we reach the target. GKON is simply phenomenal - I prefer its batches to Photoshop any day. And as for Amadeus, worth the money when compared to heavier (ie more expensive) sound studio  
(Version )

GREGORGY  Intaglio AND Techtool - this is a must have! But that is only IF 10000 is reached. For gambling, Graphic Convertor has been my friend for at least the last 12 years now. I have registered up to ver 4 and not since. So, to get the new GKON, I am interested. Then there's SRS iWOW which I own and love. It add value to the package if you do not already own it. Amadeus and Cocktail finish of the value pack for me at least without the unlocks.

I am sure the other apps also have value for those whose interests lie in podcasts and auctions.

Fetch I used all the time until Transmit came out. So, to own it again will be like a phone call from an old friend (and his dogcow - MOOF!)  
(Version )

GREGORGY  GB's quad mac has been in and out of the shop for repairs. It is his dev machine. Check out the forums for MTR for more info...  
(Version 2.6.6)

GREGORGY  I must be missing something. I installed and tested the speed at http://us.mcafee.com/root/speedometer/ and it was no better than the speed I had before installing this software. Is L2N supposed to speed up the connection or just speed up the connection process???  
(Version 1.6.6)

GREGORGY  Wow - the MU Admin cannot get a response out of these guys, and it was even a MU special. What chance do I have? Can I reinstall this software ON THE SAME MACHINE or not? Does anyone know?  
(Version 1.1.8)

GREGORGY  Mmmm - good to see that they have added OTF Post Script support to the "affordable" offering. I wonder why, though, in a new version increment (3 from 2.x) their is no mention of UB...

For $99 the feature-set competes with FontForge which is free but remains a beta, open-source, X11 challenge up to which many people are not.  
(Version 3.0)

GREGORGY  The only thing that this app could benefit from is numbering pages or titling them when printing or exporting.

That aside, about 6 minutes after downloading I registered. It did EXACTLY what I wanted with no extraneous clicking and sorting and setting options and messing around.

A large CHM file was exported to PDF (1000+ pages) in little under a minute.

That same thing would have taken me days using other solutions I tried.

Well done!  
(Version 1.1)

GREGORGY  Quick question: why would I want to use software that is going to be shareware when MacTheRipper does the same, minus the encryption, for free?

Granted - MTR has failed on one or two newer DVDs - but it remains free and otherwise removes CSS.  
(Version 1.0.0.50)

GREGORGY  First off, it aint free - it's donationware. And the donation is fixed at €21 (just less than $30). That said, the value cannot be beat. I live in Africa and wanted a GPS route mapper that I could plot onto the areas that I occasionally explore (safari, hunting, biking, hiking). Other apps promise this but demos did not deliver or no demos were available.

After much fiddling to figure the UI out, I managed to plot several routes on my own maps. Bingo - just what I wanted. Its uses are not restricted to exercise fanatics at all.

I figured that once I'd got all my favourite routes loaded and plotted and it was working, I'd register. It took me a week. Worth every cent. I strongly recommend this app for folks who do similar things and want a simple, affordable tracking and routing solution that can use custom routes and maps.

Bar a few bug fixes (auto-routing crashes, not that I use this feature) TrailRunner works as advertised.

Nic work - Recommended!  
(Version 1.3v131)

GREGORGY  Wow - such anger. Say, I understand this. I am pretty sure that my phone cheats when it sees it cannot beat me. Of course, I still win most of the time because the game has a logic error (note: this is on my Nokia, not David's BG) that makes it refuse a double if both players are taking pieces off, no matter who has the advantage. I am downloading this one now and I will give it a bash. Stay tuned...  
(Version 5.4)

GREGORGY  I have been a user since BlueLabel for classic. Guest PC has grown up since then. I registered at ver 1.0 and have watched it improve by leaps and bounds. For PDA users: This works! Other emulators just do not! Make sure that your OS is at its highest update level (for me, SP 4 on Win2K) and ActiveSync installs and works without problems, making the USB addition well worth every cent!

If you have a DVD-R, make an occasional DVD backup of the Guest PC data files for each OS - well worth the trouble, given 'doze issues with life!

Indispensable software!   
(Version 1.9.7)

GREGORGY  Hi - sorry to hear you had problems. Have you used this utility before (prev version)? I would like to try and remedy this issue, but I will need more details. Please make contact via my page if you have the time. Thanks.
