MOOGAN  Logic 9 is a universal binary, but official support for PPC has ended. So it will install and run, although you'd be better off sticking with an earlier version unless you have a particularly powerful G5 system.  
(Version 9.0.2)

MOOGAN  Popcorn 4 isn't mentioned on the UK roxio pages yet, but the previous upgrade path cost the equivalent of $47

The uk upgrade page is here

(Version 4.0)

MOOGAN  Finally gets around the Realplayer limitation meaning you can close the Dashboard and continue to listen. Excellent little widget includes all the regional BBC radio stations and a mini browser showing the schedule for the playing station.  
(Version 4.0)

MOOGAN  Current 3.1 requirements are:

Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) or higher

Intel Processor

512 Mbytes RAM

400 Mbytes available disk space

1024 x 768 or higher resolution with 16.7 Million colours

Java

The minimum JRE version required to use full OpenOffice.org functionality that require JAVA is JRE version 1.5.x

(Version 3.1)

MOOGAN  A four operator version would be great, I'd pay for that.  
(Version 2.1.10)

MOOGAN  Do you mean the specific view options for a particular window? These are working fine on my Macs (10.5.6).  
(Version 5.1)

MOOGAN  From Apple support article HT1375 June 2008:

"If your disks are almost full, and you often modify or create large files (such as editing video, but see the Tip below if you use iMovie and Mac OS X 10.3), there's a chance the disks could be fragmented. In this case, you might benefit from defragmentation, which can be performed with some third-party disk utilities. "  
(Version 1.6.8)

MOOGAN  Still breaks with the current version of Realplayer. When Dashboard is showing the audio streams but when you return to the desktop, the audio cuts out.  
(Version 1.31)

MOOGAN  Lotus Notes is not an Office suite - perhaps that's why you found it cumbersome?  
(Version 8.5)

MOOGAN  Audiofinder is an excellent application for anyone with a reasonable collection of samples, allowing you to find and edit your library. Works seamlessly with my samples (over 35gb) and handles all sorts of fle typs. Massive depth to the features, definitely worth trying out if you have a sample collection used with Ableton Live, Logic or similar DAW. Hard to imagine working without it.  
(Version 4.8.2)

MOOGAN  Interesting and inspired application. Definitely worth experimenting with if you are into creating music, loads of options and possibilities. Having tried similar tools over the years this is a polished and easy to use application. Fun and creative.  
(Version 25)

MOOGAN  Unlike Azurues etc. I don't think Transmission supports Safepeer or equivalent>?  
(Version 1.40b1)

MOOGAN  Pathfinder is a must have application if you are frustrated with the over simple Apple Finder. There is a huge amount of depth to Pathfinder and it can replace several other shareware utilities. The v5 is a worthwhile upgrade to the v4 ($20 upgrade to existing users). Pathfinder takes a little getting used to and you should try it for the demo period to see if you are comfortable with its interface. Highly configurable, essentially Pathfinder is what an "advanced mode" for the Apple Finder should be. Using the regular finder after this is most frustrating.  
(Version 5.0.1)

MOOGAN  Great application, very flexible and capable of producing stunning results. Works well with other Belight software like Disc cover 2. Great fun to experiment with an ideal for creating logos.  
(Version 2.0.2)

MOOGAN  iDefrag is an excellent application - reliable and effective. Plenty of options (algorithms) and a surfeit of information on exactly what state your drives are in. Useful if you are working with large audio or video files where defragging does make a difference. I have used iDefrag for over a year and it's never failed or locked up.

Mac OS X does a decent job of reducing fragmentation of smaller files but like most built in defragging systems doesn't address free space fragmentation at all.

I'm not sure how they could offer a fully functional demo as you don't use an app like this often, people would simply use the demo and not buy the application after it had done its job.

Overall recommended for users of applications which handle large files etc.  
(Version 1.6.6)

MOOGAN  The fuss about the application/service is true! 1Password is an excellent application. My only worry is it's reliance on the Apple Keychain which uses Triple DES (I believe) which is slightly less secure than other algorithms but has the advantage of being fast.

I would also recommend trying out Koingo's DataGuardian which is very flexible but not as well integrated as 1password.  
(Version 2.6.5b4)

MOOGAN  A great way of adding some graphical customisation to a standard template. With a little imagination you can achieve very interesting layouts. Tons of features, a recommended application to complement the excellent Rapidweaver.  
(Version 1.0.7)

MOOGAN  Superb finder replacement with tremendous depth. A ridiculous number of features, basically Pathfinder can do almost anything. Takes a while to discover the features so give it a decent trial period if you are checking it out. Well worth the money and ideal for anyone frustrated by the rather dumbed down finder.  
(Version 4.8.4)

MOOGAN  After trying the demo, I find that WireTap Studio is an easy to use, neatly designed application which lacks a couple of features I expected.

There doesn't appear to be any obvious metering, other than calling up the source tab in the preferences window, not very convenient. No control over whether it's peak or RMS metering either.

No level (gain) controls for the recording level?

Live preview is an interesting feature but with some experience you should be able to judge which format and level of compression to use anyway.

There are some well designed features however, and this app will suit some users exactly, worth evaluating and comparing with Audio Hijack Pro etc.  
(Version 1.0.6)

MOOGAN  Having tried most of the alternatives I keep coming back to Journler, huge amount of features and very flexible with a lot of depth. In my experience Phil Dow (developer) is extremely helpful and will provide quick support if needed. Quite happy it's turned to a paid for regular shareware model as it's definitely worth the money. I use it as mainly a digital scrapbook and it excels at this. Although I was disappointed that the full encryption feature was dropped in the more recent versions, there are ways around this. A key decider for me was the good export options and the fact the Journler files are basically rtf. This prevents the app. becoming a data island and a liability in the future. Highly recommended - give it a try.  
(Version 2.5.4)
