I would keep this game as it's an enjoyable and mindless way to spend a few minutes except for one glaring flaw: there is no undo. If you goof you might as well quit. I might mention as well that I have never won this game; the odds must be astronomical. |

Nonetheless, 5% is a bit much - I'll continue to use several that agree with each other. Thanks for the reply |

I just tried this, and it was off on the values in currency conversions checked against other sources by as much as five cents. |

The authors have done a great job of game that's fun to play. I liked the demo and registered on May 2nd. I've written to Shoecake Games several times since and have never received a reply or a passcode as of May 17th. My recommendation: play it as a demo - Do not buy it because these guys are not ready to do business. It cannot then be quit, so run this little AppleScript at the end of a game: do shell script "killall CornerChaos" |

Doesn't understand dual displays - puts main screen picture on both. |

If you run LittleSnitch, you will discover that gDisk wants to make two connections, but doesn't survive to run after being interrupted. Never did get to test it. Neat idea, for sure. |

Having tried out a lot of vector-based drawing programs, many of them very expensive, I have definitely settled on EazyDraw, and definitely got my money's worth. When I downloaded a trial version and had problems with it, I got near-instant responses from the developer. When I found bugs in an early version, I was thanked and they disappeared in later versions. When I needed a feature and couldn't figure it out, I was referred to the excellent help and the tutorials and found what I needed, or I was given explicit instructions. Very responsive. On the relatively small downside, this program has so many pallets that I can't imagine how I'd use it if I didn't have two displays. I don't close many pallets because you really do need them. Further, these pallets are not always accessed from the menu in which you might expect to find them so some hunting is inevitable. Leaving Help running is a must or you won't find anything. I'd really like a master pallet that held links to all the others in some intuitive layout, and this author could do it. Hope he does. Whether he does or not, I recommend this highly and rate Features at 4 only because EazyDraw doesn't do all the CAD tricks I wish it would; but then it is a fraction of the price of software that will. |

CORRECTION: I have got it working! If at first you don't succeed, try several times with Safari running. Then quit and restart et voila. Perhaps the problem was that I already had Ollie's tab installed, but when I updated to 10.3.3 the tab button stayed, but stopped working. Now it shows up as two buttons - one to create a new tab, one to remove the selected tab. |

This no longer works in the Safari included in the 10.3.3 update (1.2.1, v125.1) I have a tab symbol where autofill should be, but it still acts as an autofill button. If you try to uninstall it, you get an applescript error, so you're stuck with a symbol that doesn't do what it's supposed to. |

Further Point. With a package installer (and no option to un-install) trashing the installed folder (which I did) probably leaves all kinds of unidentified stuff behind; hopefully not active. |

I didn't buy because Curvus, with its admitedly brilliant graphics, is the only program I've run in a long time that actually froze my G4 running Panther while I was playing with one of its demo files. By froze, I mean the only way out was a hard reboot. The first time I've restarted in about a month, too and I do run the daily/weekly/monthly CRON tasks. |

I've tried several versions since I wrote that AquilaCalendar didn't like Panther, and I find that still true with this one. I've finally given up and removed it from my machine. |

Actually, UpdateRadar does have some difficulties, primarily with resolution of version numbers. Not all authors obey the rules, and UR has no means of resolving those. What's actually needed is a version number in a standard format on the page advertising the new software or version. |

ExecutiveSync was slow, but in 10.2 it was the only synchronizing software that even came close to managing to synchronize my OS X box with a Windows XP laptop. Not perfect, but it worked, and the slowness didn't bother me because I could do other things while it worked. As far as I can tell from the You Synchronize demo, very little has changed except the speed with which it works. Yes, the GUI is different, but some of it doesn't work - for example, there is a drawer of projects, but there is no easy way to review their details while in the midst of a synchronization, and the drawer will not always reappear for reasons I couldn't discover. Since it seems unlikely that YOU will find and fix all the glitches that ExecutiveSync left it heir to in 15 days, I think they've made a serious mistake with their pricing. As an ExecutiveSync owner, I don't think I should have to double my investment just to continue to use the software in 10.3, more or less as it was in 10.2. My demo will expire before they do, and I probably won't come back. |

This is a great idea, but it's wedded to the OS X Mail client - I had thought it was going to log in and count from my mail server accounts so I could use Spamfire to filter my mail and pass it to Eudora on demand instead of on a schedule. Here's hoping that eventually it does that. |

I ran AquilaCalendar1.5.2 in Jaguar on my G4 and really liked it. When I upgraded to Panther, however, it became really flaky in a way that an upgrade to 1.5.4 and several suggestions from the very responsive author didn't fix. I'll wait for AC2, I think, given that the 1.5.5 notes don't comment on Panther problems or solutions. |

I've used this for some time now in a variety of ways. I find it sufficiently useful that it's a startup item. I've programmed the third button of my mouse to open it and on second click to open its browser so I can quickly recover unlock codes, addresses (no, I don't use the address book), quick notes, clips, etc., and I quickly stuff in notes when I'm on the phone. Certainly works for me. |
