I've noticed no patterns at all. And "No". My username key is perfectly normal. |

So far, all I have attempted to do is to try out the program by encrypting a couple of separate documents, individually. They are not in a folder and I have simply been testing your program with each document individually - to see whether it works satisfactorily and just how to use it. As I said before, sometimes it works smoothly, but frequently it does not. |

I also encounter decryption problems as described. Sometimes decryption works, but frequently it does not and I get an error message. The program, unfortunately, seems to be unstable/unreliable at this point in time. I am using an Intel iMac G5, running OSX 10.5.4 |

I have tried both the suggestions offered by "simas, but they make no difference at all. The application still quits immediately, every time I try to launch it. |

I downloaded and installed this application but have so far been completely unable to get it to launch. Every time I try to launch it, It quits immediately. My computer is an iMac 7,1 with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, and Mac OS X 10.5.4 Leopard. I have verified all Permissions, as well as verified my Hard Drive, and all is fine. Has anyone else encountered this problem ? Has anyone got any suggestions ? I have sent 2 e-mails to the Developer but have received no reply. I am very keen to try out this application, as others have been giving it good reports. |

David, Would you actually tell anyone if it DID in fact cheat constantly ? You are in BUSINESS. You make MONEY out of flogging this product. So your assurances that it doesn't cheat are worthless. When are you going to ever get the product properly (i.e. statistically) evaluated by a TOTALLY INDEPENDENT BACKGAMMON/STATISTICAL/SCIENTIFIC EXPERT WHO HAS ABSOLUTELY NO VESTED INTEREST IN THE OUTCOME ? Until such time as you do, the constant and long-time accusations (fully justified in my view) that the computer opponent has been cleverly programmed to cheat will keep coming. If you truly believed that your product did not cheat you would have no qualms whatsoever about having a truly independent expert test it. If he/she eventually confirmed that it does NOT cheat, you could sell it for twice the price and never have to put up with those irritating folk (such as me and heaps of others) that don't believe a word of your assertions about your product. |

I have NEVER at any time been able to get iMovie to launch on my Core Duo Intel iMac 7,1 running Mac OSX Leopard 10.5.4. It ALWAYS crashes immediately at launch. I installed this most recent upgrade in the hope that, just maybe, it might solve the problem. But NO. Just the same. Can anyone tell me precisely what I need to do to get iMovie to launch successfully ? My computer is very new, but iMovie has NEVER launched. |

This updated version (Plex 0.5b10) STILL contains absolutely NO documentation or help whatsoever. Mr Developer, I'm damned if I can figure out how to use this complicated and unintuitive software without some proper HELP. It MAY well be fantastic software, but unless you provide some USEFUL, CLEAR AND COMPREHENSIVE documentation soon, I strongly suspect that heaps of potential users - such as myself - will totally lose all interest in even trying to find out whether it is good or bad software. NO documentation whatsoever, after requests for same, in my view demonstrates a complete lack of interest in those people willing to give your software a fair try. |

I am not a complete idiot. Of course I "flipped" it, as soon as I had downloaded it. I then tried every conceivable button, etc. But absolutely nothing makes it work. Complete rubbish as far as I am concerned. |

Write in whatever language you happen to speak. Not everyone on the planet speaks English. In fact the overwhelming majority of the world's population does NOT speak English. |

Adobe Acrobat Reader Version 8.1.2 works very well indeed on my iMac 7,1 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, running OSX 10.5.3 Leopard. It is simply not correct that it does not run on Leopard. |

This program MAY conceivably be good. But the current total absence of ANY documentation or help whatsoever makes it utterly useless for me at present. WHAT is it capable of actually doing ? And HOW does one get the program to actually do it ? At present I have absolutely no idea ! Come on Mr Developer. Tell us all - in detail - how to use your program and I'll be delighted to give it a favourable review if it deserves one !! |

I am a fully paid-up registered user of "Absolute Backgammon" and have been for a long time. Is version 5.3.3 not a free upgrade ? Does one have to pay again for every minor upgrade you issue ? I have never done so in the past and all upgrades have always worked just fine. It is only with version 5.3.3 that I have ever had problems. Please clarify the situation. |

This version 5.3.3, released on 19 Dec is a lemon. It keeps quitting unexpectedly in the middle of a game. Previous versions never did that. Note - all reviews currently appearing on MacUpdate are of EARLIER versions of this software - NOT of version 5.3.3 |

Just eagerly installed this application on my iMac G5 (running OSX 10.4.11) and for the life of me cannot get it to work at all. All I get when I try to conect to web radio is a low-pitched loud buzzing sound at regular intervals and no radio. Is this application compatible with OSX 10.4.11 ? Have any known incompatabilities with other software been established as yet ? I'd love to be able to succesfully use this application but have had no success whatsoever so far. |

I have neither the time, the money nor the inclination to organise the testing of that which is your product. YOU are the one marketing it. So YOU organise the testing of it. In YOUR time and at YOUR expense. But make sure that the tester is truly and manifestly independent. |

David - I am not remotely interested in YOUR ridiculous assertions that the program does not cheat. Only when someone TRULY TOTALLY INDEPENDENT OF YOURSELF verifies that it doesn't cheat, after having TESTED IT EXTENSIVELY OVER A LENGTHY PERIOD will I ever believe that it does not cheat. Why are you frightened uf accepting my challenge ? What have you possibly got to lose ? If you weren't so totally pig-headed,stupid and stubborn, you could put an immediate end to the YEARS of accusations that numerous people have been making that your program cheats.I repeat - what the hell are you frightened of ??? Being exposed ??? |

Come on, Mr. Byrum. I challenge you. I have played your dopey "Absolute Backgammon" against the computer literally thousands of times now and it CHEATS, CHEATS, CHEATS, CHEATS AND CONSTANTLY CHEATS. Your absurd claims that the dice rolls are utterly random are the claims of a deceptive fool. My challenges to you are these:- (1) Agree to have your ludicrous claims TESTED over a 12 month period by a person who is each of the following:- 1. Totally and 100% independent of yourself, your products, and any business or company in which you have an interest; 2. An expert statistician; 3. Thoroughly experienced in backgammon. (2) Agree to PUBLISH on all relevant backgammon websites the FULL, UNEDITED RESULTS, whether they support your claims or not. Until you agree to the above, I will continue to utterly reject your childish and deceptive claims that the computer plays an honest game against a human opponent. |

Don't believe a word of David Byrum's rantings about the dice rolls being random. They are utter rubbish. Both David's Backgammon AND Absolute Backgammon cheat unmercifully. They simply consistently give the computer "miracle" rolls over and over again, while ensuring that the human opponent gets bad rolls. The computer also regularly gives you an unjustifiable double and then immediately follows up with a series of "miracle" rolls to retrospectively rescue itself from a bad double. If Mr Byrum were honest, he would have his product tested over a lengthy period by a TRULY INDEPENDENT expert in statistics and a TRULY INDEPENDENT WORLD EXPERT IN BACKGAMMON. He would then publish the results - whether favourable or unfavourable. He doesn't do so - for patently obvious reasons. As far as I am concerned, this and Absolute Backgammon are utterly dishonest products, which should be avoided like the plague. |

There is absolutely NO way known that the dice rolls generated by the computer are random, despite David Byrum's insistence to the contrary. After literally thousands of games against the computer I have noted that the frequency with which it throws absolute "miracle rolls" for itself, (never for its human opponent), is so totally contrary to the odds as to be a rather poor joke. Come on Mr Byrum - it is high time you stopped trying to kid people and admitted that which is patently obvious. The computer's dice rolls for itself are plainly and obviously NOT random, nor anything like such !!! |
