JUKI There were always issues when I used either Eudora, Thunderbird or Mail app. I found Mail to be the one that worked best for me, but still not without reoccurring glitches. I've got both a POP account and an IMAP account. And then I tried Gyazmail.......well, this app really rocks! It's totally stable, fast, smooth and reliable. It works like a Swiss watch and is a joy to use! I, initially, was reluctant to shell out money for an email client when there are freebies like the three very popular ones mentioned above, but once I gave Gyazmail a spin, I was sold! Been using it for several weeks, now, and I'm smiling all the way. Yes, I think the $18 price is well worth the money; I'm glad I purchased it. (Version 1.5) | |

JUKI Ok, success at last! The loading process took several minutes, about a minute or longer for the code page to be found and then several more minutes for the code page to fully load. I then saved it to desktop and, voila!, a fully functioning .dmg file which installs fine. v1.3.6 works just fine, too. Don't know why this download was so laborious for my setup, most other software downloads are smooth and, usually, fast.....oh well, it all ended on a happy note! (Version 1.3.6) | |

IP Address Menu | Dec 24 2006 |
JUKI Well, it's definiteley way overpriced at $20; I can find nothing about IP Address Menu that justifies the price. I use BwanaDik; it's free and has essentially the same features. On checking out the developer's website, I found numerous apps offered, but they're virtually all overpriced(at least $20), considering their lack of sophistication. (Version 3.2) | |

Volume Slider | Dec 21 2006 |

Word Galaxies | Dec 2 2006 |
JUKI As games go,this one IS a bit of a yawn. Ok, maybe kids might get into it...or adults without imagination, but it does get old pretty quickly. I'd say that World Galaxies doesn't reflect much creative thinking or imagination on the part of the developer. And for $19.95, you don't really get all that much....yeh, it's definitely overpriced. $5, or maybe $8, is all its worth IMHO. As a previous reviewer stated, you can do a lot better if you want to spend $19.95 on a game. And even if you want to spend a lot less. And even if you're looking for a freebie. (Version 1.1) | |

ExposeIP | Nov 26 2006 |
JUKI The trial version is so heavily crippled, that it's impossible to get a good sense of what this thing can really do. And there's no user's manual, there's just a virtually useless help file which can be downloaded from the website. I haven't a clue how to use this app; it's EXTREMELY user unfriendly. Apparently, the developer wants to keep potential purchasers in the dark. Yeh, that makes a lot of sense. Well, screw this app; I'm just not willing to waste my time with it! In the trash it goes.

Smart Scroll | Nov 19 2006 |
JUKI Works really beautifully.....installed without issues. Scrolling is smooth as silk, fast and very easy to control. I'd say Smart Scroll X moves the scrolling experience to a whole new level. Whether one uses one's mouse's scroll wheel or computer's hot keys(called "scroll keys")for scrolling, this puppy works as slickly as a Swiss watch. I'm using OS 10.3.9. (Version 2.0b5) | |

SoftSkies | Nov 12 2006 |
JUKI Sorry, but I'm afraid that SoftSkies just isn't all that interesting as a visualizer. While G-Force, from the same developer, is incredibly unique and wonderful, SoftSkies is, merely, pretty pedestrian. While there are numerous settings to change the forground, background or colors, its still just clouds passing across the sky....I lost interest in it pretty quickly. And at $20 for the Gold, and $30 for the Platinum edition.....the same as for G-Force, there's just no way I'd pay those prices for SoftSkies....it's definitely overpriced. And I think that the $20 or $30 for G-Force is well worth the money. While I was, and still am, overwhelmed and awed by G-Force, SoftSkies is totally underwhelming.....it just leaves me feeling cold and disappointed. I guess I'd have to say that it's somewhat of a turkey. (Version 1.0) | |

OSS 3D | Nov 11 2006 |
JUKI I had updated itunes to version 7, when I tried OSS 3D. It just didn't work, and made a mess of my dock, too. So I trashed it. Since I didn't like iTunes 7, I reverted back to iTunes 6.04. Later on, I checked the OSS 3D website and found that version 1.62, for use with iTunes 6 and Panther(OS 10.3) was reinstated, so I downloaded and installed it. Well now, this version really works....and very well, too! There are a great choice of parameters that can be adjusted, and the results are easy to hear. I'd say that OSS 3D rocks like a house on fire!!! I hope that the developer irons out all the bugs in the OSS 3D version for iTunes 7 so that those folks who are using version 7 can discover how really fine OSS 3D truly is. (Version 2.03) | |

Brain Boosters | Nov 11 2006 |
JUKI I found this thing pretty uninteresting. Lost interest in playing it pretty quickly......I didn't find it fun at all, just rather tedious. I really don't think that its got much going for it. And at $19.95, it's terribly overpriced. While $19.95, generally, seems to be the going rate for games, there are many more out there that can justify the price by being engaging and seductively interesting, two qualities that Brain Boosters lacks.

First, the disclaimer: this is totally unsupported, it may not work well, and it could break things. That said, the worst that should happen is that it will fail to recognize some words." It's a rather cumbersome process of adding code to LiveDictionary's p.lists which, then, MAY or MAY NOT allow LiveDictionary to be usable with SOME apps other than Safari.

JUKI I tried this app out for the past couple of hours, using it intensively. I found it to be a real pain; it's quite aggravating to use. Most of the semi-secure and fully secure public proxies(2 and 3 dot security levels) are not available, and of the very few that are, virtually all are very slow or cause my browsers to freeze(I tested NetShade using several different browsers). And trying to locate one that's both usable and not too slow takes up a lot of time....it's a matter of trial and error; it's quite a laborious process. In light of my experience with it, I just can't justify purchasing it. So I won't. (Version 3.0) | |

TYRAYNER The public proxies are hit-or-miss, although NetShade really does everything possible to provide a good list of proxy servers. The problem is that these proxies get so much traffic that they can sometimes be unreliable, so you have to poke around to find a good one. I don't think you'll find any list of public proxies more reliable than NetShade's though. Registered users can use the NetShade Proxy server, which is much faster than the public proxies. It's password-protected and doesn't get inundated with traffic from Windows users. (Version 3.0) | |

SGMILLER Not sure what all the complaints are about. Yes, it is possible to have trouble with a public proxy but they are free, the programs gives you a plethora of choices, and I always find one that works. I don't see any problem at all here. I would suggest adding a couple of options: 1) The ability to route through mutliple proxies for more security. 2) The option for an encrypted tunnel to the servers. Add those things and I think this would be a killer app for anonymous surfing. (Version 3.0.2) | |
