MIKEEVANGELIST I'll add my five stars to the chorus here. This is a GREAT tool. Anyone who does documentation will be knocked over by how much time it saves. Don't hesitate for a moment to send the twenty bucks. It's awesome!

MIKEEVANGELIST Deepest thanks to the developer for getting this out so quickly! I really missed it since updating to Snow Leopard (even though it's only been 5 days.) A great tool; rock solid and extremely handy.

Retrospect | Jul 26 2009 |
MIKEEVANGELIST One more thing... They are not kidding when they say G4s will be slow when used as a server for Retrospect 8. I have a 1GHz MDD that I've used as my main backup server for a while, but it's straining under the load. The actually backups work OK, doing about 450 MB/minute. But when scanning a large volume or matching to existing catalogs, it takes a very long time. It will work fine for me until I can replace that backup machine, but it's something to consider when planning your backup system.

MIKEEVANGELIST Like many others, I've been waiting for years for an overhaul of Retrospect. Version 6 and its crashy behavior and clunky interface with (seemingly) hundreds of separate windows drove me crazy every time I had to reconfigure or use it. Retrospect 8 is a huge improvement in almost every way. The interface is much easier to navigate. The separation of the 'engine' from the control console is a great idea (once you get used to it). Setting up scripts and monitoring what's happening is infinitely easier. And so far for me, it just works. But perhaps best of all, after years of neglect and stagnation, it appears that EMC is actually taking this product seriously. They've moved quickly to fix bugs and respond to criticism of the initial release. I also commend them on having reasonable upgrade pricing; it's so rare these days. Retrospect is a powerful backup tool. If you're looking for one-click backups, this ain't for you. But if you have multiple computers and terabytes of data to backup and keep track of, it's a great too.

ATROPOS You actually managed to get Retrospect 8 to back *anything* up? How many virgins did you need to sacrifice? I've been considering selling my soul just to get it to even properly enumerate the files on our Windows 2003 server—ONCE—so I could, maybe, possibly, back them up. Retrospect has never been a "happy" Mac application, but for the most part 6.x worked. Version 8 has consistently been nothing but trouble and, IMO, an enormous waste of time and money.

MIKEEVANGELIST Yes, there is a charge for the TV Guide service, but the first year is included for all new and current users of version 3.x. Thereafter it is $20 per year. Note that TV Guide is for North American EyeTV users only.

MIKEEVANGELIST Current US users can continue to use TitanTV if they prefer. However, there are some nice benefits with TV Guide: two weeks of advance data instead of one, richer descriptions and personnel listings, and series episode metadata which enables Smart Series scheduling. The first year is included for all new and current 3.x users; $20 per year thereafter. Mike E from Elgato

MIKEEVANGELIST The switch to digital only affects those using antennas. Cable systems will continue to use a combination of analog and digital for the foreseeable future. In addition, the analog circuitry of the Hybrid can be used to capture from external devices like VCRs, cable boxes, etc. A digital-only tuner is far less useful for many people.

MIKEEVANGELIST Mike Evangelist from Elgato here. Version 3.1 has not gone live yet. I suspect there's some confusion because the new Hybrid which we started selling at Macworld included a special version of 3.1 to support its new hardware. It will be a few more days before the general release is rolled out for auto-updates.

NEO979 I appreciate the info, but why is Elgato introducing a new EyeTV Hybrid now at all? At least in the USA, if you order the new one, analog TV may already be shut down before you even receive it. Is it really just for the benefit of those low-power analog stations for rural customers and for international customers? Why not drop the hybrid idea and focus your efforts on the digital side that millions of people will soon be using exclusively (if they aren't already).

RAWN027 does this TV guide service offer any new features for the price? If TitanTV shutting down? Will EyeTV offer the ability to schedule using different methods? Maybe an API or some sorts, or a scripting interface?

DragThing | Oct 19 2007 |
MIKEEVANGELIST DragThing is the second thing I install on any new Mac (right after Quickeys). It is flexible, powerful, fast and stable. It puts you back in charge of your Mac. Don't be bossed around by the Dock; with DragThing you can have the functionality and appearance that -you- like. Be sure to explore all the different themes and options; the range of possible configurations is staggering. Incredibly useful.

QuicKeys X | Oct 19 2007 |
MIKEEVANGELIST I've used Quickeys since version 1 (going on twenty years) and cannot imagine using my Mac without it. It simplifies my life hundreds of times every day. Well worth the price. And I like supporting a small company that has done great Mac software for so long.

MIKEEVANGELIST What a lovely little utility. Makes it so easy to layout my current favorites photos on the desktop, much like the old days of pinning them to the cork board. I especially love being able to switch sets on a whim using the menu.

Adobe Lightroom | Feb 20 2007 |
MIKEEVANGELIST This is a real eye-opener. Even on my lowly MacBook, Lightroom is snappy. Adjustments are fast and intuitive, straightening is real time, and the entire application is responsive even while it's busy importing images. Patch tool is excellent. Screen layout is logical and doesn't feel cramped at all. After months of fighting with Aperture, I feel liberated.
