ROG  It was a good idea and when it worked it did just what I needed. Sometime it would not start up. I also noticed that something weird was going on on my Mac that I couldn't pin down to any other process. When opening any window or returning from screensaver there would be a long delay. This applied to any window of any app, even simple ones like address book and calculator. It would sometimes take 20+ seconds instead of the usual 1 if that. I would also see the memory and processor activity spike for that period of time. I took all the other Preference Panes and startup apps out and this was one of the only things left running. Ever since I've removed it, the problem has gone away. I don't know what it was doing for those 20+ seconds...

Microtek ScanWizard Pro

ROG  At any particular time you might be able to find a scanner that works for a Mac, but then when the next Mac update comes out the scanner wont work anymore... I have a pile of scanners here (Microtek, Canon, and Epson) that are all in good working order, except the software is no longer supported...sometimes months after I bought them. The only scanner that I have that consistently works is a Microtek scanner from over 10 years ago that's hooked up to an old beige Mac with SCSI.

ROG  I started up for me the first time, then after restarting it wouldn't start up. I trashed the prefs, and tried again and it worked, but I had to reenter the username/password. I'm new to FB, so I don't have any freinds yet :( ... so I don't know if any of the functions are working.

ROG  It still crashes just as often! The only reason I start it up is to quickly log into Yahoo Mail.

ROG  I have been using this software for a while... I bought VirtualHub thinking it might have some more options and do an even better job. I couldn't get the Xgrid feature on VirtualHub to work and the file sizes ended up much bigger(I will check, but I think I used the same settings), and took much longer to convert. I went back to using iSquint. It does a good job for what I need and gets it done efficiently.

ROG  The Import with LAME script/app problem may have been something else, it's working now.

ROG  It installed but will not work. I had the Import with LAME script installed and now it doesn't work either. When trying to launch the application it says it will not open because the application may be damaged or incomplete.

ROG  This looks nice...but I run on on secondary computer (running my internal servers, BOINC, misc other stuff), and it finds that my website is inaccessible...how would I know...I might not turn that monitor on for days. Can it be set to beep for the first minute that it's down and once every 10 mins after that so it will get me attention?

ROG  Is this sound problem only there with converted flash video? Or does it apply to all conversions?

ROG  Vers. 1.1.0 worked great for me for a while...on 10.4.7. Then it started causing Address Book to hang. I found vers. 1.1.1 on the website, released 13th Jan, 2005, but it does the same thing. This seems like something that is so basic that Apple should build it in. It would be nice if the Mac's modem detected CID info and displayed the address book entry.

ROG  My only complaint so far is that when you set a display image and then trash/move/rename that file it will not work anymore.

I made a folder inside the package and put the file there.

I would suggest that Y!IM save any images somewhere. It could even have a forth option of image of the users log-in icon and maybe even their iChat icon history.

Another option would be the option of logging in to a users Y! 360 page and grabbing the users images from that.

ROG  I was not able to get the extra files to install either. It keeps asking for them on startup. Hitting cancel will let me do some things, but it would be nice to get it all working properly.

DeskDecal
May 20 2006

ROG  I tried it but I don't know how often I would use it. But speaking of deaktops...I have a better idea for you or someone to pursue... Rather than adding more, I've been taking old smaller ones out. I have about 2000 backgrounds that I've collected over the years. Sometimes I start up and I don't really like the one that was randomly picked from the Desktop Pictures folder... in OS 9's desktop prefs it told you which file was being displayed, but not in OS X. How about a menu item that would pull down to reveal the name of the current background, the option to reveal it in the finder, the option to randomly pick a new image and on top of that...the functionality of DeskDecal that would be "Add new image to Desktop Pictures Folder and Set" And if it could do this for each monitor, that would be nice. I'm just saying... it would be helpful. If it could also replace the functionality of the Display menu item that one could be turned off.

ROG  It does what it says, but since I don't have an account with itms it doesn't help me much. It could be a little less space.

AVERY  Would not run for me. "File Enterprise:Applications:Utilities:OnyX 1.6b1:OnyX.app:Contents:Resources:Scripts:parameter.scpt wasn't found. (-43)" comes up on startup, then a bunch of other errors...then when trying to quit "The variable Progress is not defined. (-2753)" comes up and I have to force quit. I'm running as an admin, I used Disk Util. to fix permissions.

AVERY  I had no scrollbar problem as well, thought it had to do with the fact that I had arrows on both ends turned on. Switched back to normal with tinkertool(1 arrow on each end)...now the back doesn't work at all. The pull down menu is empty and greyed out, only the 'Home' calander shows up with an empty checkbox next to it that I can't check(I have more calanders). It's a good idea, I hope to get it working. Why Apple didn't do something like this to it's included calander is surprising.
