PandoraMan	Oct 30 2009	PETIEG Does what it says and more... like pop up ad's in a browser. Two as a matter of fact... not worth it IMHO. (Version 1.0.17)		0

Saft	Sep 6 2009	PETIEG I'm simply going to wait for the freeware Glims to have SL support.. i paid for Saft years ago, and dev wanted to pay for an update to Leopard and that was the last straw... (Version 12.0b)		+5

VueScan	Sep 3 2009	PETIEG If your scanner is supported, buy this app. Especially an HP scanner -- as their scanner software, errr... bloatware is horrendous compared to this... (Version 8.5.27)		+5

CHRISCHRAM I rather like the simplicity of the HP scanner software's user interface. It usually gives me what I need with no muss, no fuss. However I know that Vuescan is always there when I need more control over some aspect of the process.

I don't yet know whether HP's software will play well with Snow Leopard. Again, it'll be nice to have Vuescan to fall back on.

ILGAZ Chriscram: What bugs the most people and in fact, reason for instability issues is the stuff added to startup, always on kernel extensions, ''update checker'' and low quality of the outsourced software. It is not just HP, it is all scanners.

I had to restore my machine from time machine backup once since I stupidly decided I should have Canon Lide 25 software too. It crashed so early that I couldn't logon to Finder to fix things.

In good old times, there were no resident scanner apps. There was a goodly (by device vendor) written TWAIN driver which loads to memory and goes away when not needed. When they started adding this needless ''button manager'' etc. stuff, troubles has begun.

If I had a clue about Vuescan's existence on Windows, I would buy it back in 1990s.

CoRD	Sep 3 2009	PETIEG This is the best remote desktop app for the Mac -- thank you, thank you, thank you very much for upgrading this so frequently and timely. (Version 0.5.1)		0

Syncman	Mar 16 2009	PETIEG Been looking for this functionality natively from google... Guess not yet. This product just lost some information I had placed in my address book -- it didn't sync to the web, and it is now lost in AB ... also, company only names keep coming up as changed... i have 11 that come up changed all the time and nothing has been done to them... what gives?

Lotus Symphony	Nov 6 2008	PETIEG If I'm not mistaken this is based on the 2.x codebase and not the newer 3.x ... I'd say hang on and wait... IBM has done a good job in 'cleaning up' the interface, polishing it off a bit when I tried this months ago (on Windows) vs. OpenOffice... so ... keep up the good work!!! (Version 1.2b)		+4
