RONL  Superb! Superb! Superb!

Remember to download and use the "Gutenprint Utility for EPSON Inkjet Printers" which makes it possible to clean, align, etc. the printer heads via the Terminal and simply typing in one letter for any process (i.e. extremely simple... so don't let the idea of using the Terminal put you off).

And... check out "Ink Level" which is a small utility that allows you to check your ink levels.

RONL  It is certainly no wonder why Apple is not allowing this known buggy plugin to be used for its iPad, etc.

Adobe admits that there has been a known, exploitable, bug in this plug-in for 16 months and though they have released 4 minor updates during that period... they have not fixed it.

Adobe admits that even when it does work that it is way slower than on a PC and yet they have not bothered to even attempt to provide parity.

I use the Adobe Suite professionally so I know that they CAN create great products if they want to... so something is definitely going on here... i.e. mad at Steve Jobs and this is their way of letting him know. I do not see how they can simply be this lazy as Jobs stated.

RONL  Suggestion: Include a 'filing cabinet' so that newbies will eventually figure out that it is far more productive to 'file' their info (i.e. files) in a filing cabinet (i.e. directory) with sub-directories/folders... than it is to 'lay' or 'pin' their files on the floor or walls.

This way they can advance to a more organized and faster system so as to accomplish their daily tasks.

RONL  Great for someone that does not want to advance to a new paradigm.

What do I mean?

I give tech support and the standard way of thinking when someone is new to computers is to think of their desktop as a floor with lots of papers and folders 'piled' around on it.

However... and this a very big however... you can imagine that you will finally come to the point where you have so many 'papers' on your 'floor' that you have a problem finding what you are looking for. And yes... even if you 'pile' them up into stacks.

For beginners this is another way of laying out all of your papers out on your floor.

The paradigm (i.e. mind set) that I suggest one finally matures to is to create folders/directories in list order. This is analogous to what businesses do with filing cabinets. Of course the initial ostensible down-side of this is that one must actually label/name their files in such a way that makes it easy to organize them. Then instead of having all of your paperwork strewn all over your floor and walls... you have them organized in filing cabinets.

Bottom-line: Great app for those that have not... or do not want to advance to a business level... but no business would ever use this.

RONL  I have only used this once, so this may be premature, but it seems to work fine.

Truly hope this is accurate (which I won't know until after I have paid the $5.00 since my 7 ink cartridges are still well over half full).

I use the Gutenprint drivers which I find are excellent and they even have a printer utility which works great... however the one thing it does not include is the ability to display ink levels.

This will be a great addition and will be well worth the price... again... if it is accurate.

Apple Epson Printer Drivers
Dec 16 2009

RONL  I highly recommend Gutenprint drivers (currently at version 5.2.4) over the Epson drivers.

http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php

This download will include "Gutenprint Utility for EPSON Inkjet Printers." So you can clean your nozzles, and check if all colors are printing properly.

My experience (and many others) is that Gutenprint's open source drivers offer more features and are more reliable.

SuperDuper!
Oct 13 2009
*****

RONL  This is worth repeating...

For many years I had used Retrospect.

But then metadata was not being properly duped and after having to actually use a backup because of a major problem... modification and creation dates, etc. were listed as the day I had to do the backup. I am talking about thousands of files and folders that I could no longer search via dates!

So when it came time to upgrade Retrospect I started searched for other backup software that would be more reliable.

I came across this URL comparing various backup software (if you do not read the entire article, since it is very detailed, at least read the conclusion... "The only laudable exception is the great SuperDuper application, which performs flawlessly.")

http://blog.plasticsfuture.org/2006/04/23/mac-backup-software-harmful/

Using SuperDuper! has been great and the price is incredible.

The only 'advantage' that I had 'enjoyed' with Retrospect was its rather simple way of coping only specific folders/files by checking boxes... but that was not nearly enough to continue using it and losing so much of important meta data which was necessary for searches, etc. AND SuperDuper! can do something similar though it takes a couple more steps.

I highly recommend it... and their tech support actually gets back to you very quickly when you have a question (unlike Dantz).

SuperDuper!
Oct 14 2009

COMMERCIAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT  My primary difficulty with Retrospect was that they compressed the data in a proprietary format and the overall process seemed a bit awkward overall to me.

I followed the blog linked by the prior reviewer and zeroed in on Carbon Copy Cloner as I am presently using this. That writer said "doesn't preserve . . . creation date, HFS+ extended attributes," "not recommended"

Then I checked the Bombich software site FAQ and they state under the question "CCC requires an HFS+ formatted target volume": "The HFS+ filesystem defines many types of metadata that describe non-data attributes of your files. Creation date, access control lists, permissions and ownership, Finder flags, and extended attributes are among the various metadata types defined in the HFS+ standard. To adequately back up all of your files and their associated metadata, CCC requires that your backup volume is also formatted as HFS+."

I back up daily to an OWC supplied Firewire 800 external drive, and weekly to the same drive offsite, plus using Time Capsule for protection of business data.

This morning I booted up my MacBook Pro from the external drive using last night's backup made with Carbon Copy Cloner, checked Mail, Opened Safari, opened a cluster of database and word processing files I had updated yesterday and everything worked just fine.

I only use one type of back up - incremental, deleting all differences, so I always have a duplicate startup drive.

I was interested to see if Super Duper would be quicker, but the software (incremental backup) is disabled until payment is received, whereas Carbon Copy Cloner is fully functional as I believe was the original intent of shareware "try before you buy."

Reviews I've read all seem to praise Super Duper, but unless I am missing something, I don't see the benefit to paying more for the same functionality.

RONL  I was using Glimmerblocker, but because it uses a proxy server it increases the overhead for Safari and consequently Safari was sometimes hanging when loading pages.

Now I use a userContent.css style sheet for Safari instead of Glimmerblocker.

Safari works faster this way and only takes a minute to set up... and of course it is free.

Both Safari and Firefox can easily use userContent style sheets via their Preference settings.

In Safari simply go to Preferences > Advanced > Style sheet... and select your userContent.css

You can find the latest css at: http://www.floppymoose.com (or if MacUpdate deletes this URL do a search using Google for "Better Ad Blocking for Firefox, Mozilla, Camino, and Safari").

Be forewarned that the installation may appear to stall near the end (mine appeared to hang for around 15 minutes when showing in the progress bar that it should have completed in just 2 more minutes).

Be patient if this happens and allow it complete. Other wise you may end up with a major problem on your hands.

My best guess after using Macs for more than a decade professionally is that this is the standard bug regarding progress bars (i.e Apple's progress bars have been inaccurate very often for a very long time) and that the actual installation has probably not hung.

No problems so far with this new version.

Just today an app by the name of Egg Timer appeared on VersionTracker that supposedly does approximately the same thing as this EggTimer.

I guess next they might think about creating a 'new' Text_Edit app.

RONL  FASS,

Not a newbie. It's just that saving a webarchive in Firefox without adding extensions that may or may not work with the next update is not nearly as user friendly as Safari's built in ability. Likewise for increasing text sizes.

I realize that your 'car' should not necessarily come with every imaginable option already included. It is just that there are many options that are included (as with OSX in general) that are not automatically included in Firefox or Windows.

RONL  Nice, but without the ability to save a webarchive as a single file (as Safari has done for quite a while) this will only be a backup browser for me.

Also Safari allows a user to put buttons in the toolbar to increase/decrease text size WITHOUT having to reach for the keyboard or go to the menubar. This is much quicker when someone browses as many pages with often small print, as I do.

Until these two above features are addressed... for me this will always only be a backup.

Fortunately recently Firefox has become ICC Version 4 ready (don't recall whether this has only happened in the Firefox 3.1 beta or whether it started with 3.0) but you can check to see if Firefox or any other browser treats ICC profiles correctly by going here...

FFASS  FFASS Previous post had complaints about missing features in Firefox. Must be a newby. The basics: Firefox uses extensions to fill in feature gaps. Go to the "Tools" menu and select "Add-ons". Here's what you need:

1) To save full webpages download the extension called "Scrapbook" - it's similar to IE's Scrapbook feature in that it'll save the pages in a list within Firefox. Has ability to save full web pages internally in Folders, while keeping all the links in your saved pages clickable. Be sure to save your Scrapbook to a folder outside of your Firefox Profile folder in case you ever need to delete your profile folder to start fresh with Firefox. I saved my Scrapbook in a folder I named "Firefox Scrapbook" inside of my Documents folder. Note: you'll need to check "Enable Multi-scrapbook" in Scrapbook's options menu to be able to save your Scrapbook to another location. This is a fantastic extension that always works flawlessly for me.

2) To resize the text size, get extension "Zoom Toolbar" - this actually zooms the whole webpage larger, but I actually prefer that to just enlarging the text.

USB Overdrive X

RONL  I'm chagrined.

After an extremely quick response by the author (Alessandro) my perceived troubles evaporated.

This software continues to run circles around the other mouse drivers.

Believe me I've tried them.

I just tried SteerMouse and it does not compare to USB Overdrive.

Often when attempting to see what button I was attempting to map in SM the corresponding button in the SM preference window would not even highlight! And __often__ once I thought I had finally managed to map a button... after a restart or awakening... the mapping would be gone. Also some features were far more limited in what you could map the tilt wheel to do.

Not so with USBOD.

The mapped commands remain.

I've been using this software for many years and should have realized that it must have been something simple to fix and contacted Alessandro before writing my last comment a few days ago.

The reason why he doesn't post more updates... simple... he doesn't have to... it just works!

EXCELLENT software.

GlimmerBlocker

*****

RONL  I just installed GlimmerBlocker so perhaps this is too soon to actually review it but...

I am incredibly impressed!!!

For a long time now (since I visit tvguide.com almost daily) I have been looking for an app that would eliminate their large number of animated ads. The ads slow the loading of course and are extremely distracting.

Well... GlimmerBlocker did this right-out-of-the-box! I didn't have to create any settings for it to do this.

Another thing... when I have used plugins in the past to block ads sometimes they have either not allowed the site to load properly or it took a long time for the site to load thereby defeating one of the purposes (i.e. to load site more quickly since the animated ads would not need to load). This software at least appears to make sites load much more quickly if they have animated ads (e.g. HULU).

I'm connected via cable but it still makes quite a difference when you are checking out many sites very quickly as I often do.

Hope this remains as incredible as it appears in my short time of use.

And to think that it is freeware!

My compliments to the developers!

RONL  As with ALL utilities that are able to change your system be VERY careful.

Before even thinking about using this also read the reviews at VersionTracker.

Many reviewers are not entering stars so the 'star-level' of this app remains unreasonably high. After reading almost all of the reviews on this I would never use this AS YET. I have been working with computers for decades and with Macs for approx. ten years. In all of time I have found that most major system apps (Nortons, etc.) do more harm than good (e.g I have had hard drives go belly up after using some). Since DiskWarrior was released I have found it is the only major system app I need along with Apple's Disk Utility. Of course there are minor utilities that are useful as well (e.g. Leopard Cache Cleaner). But for the most part DW and DU are all you'll ever need. Just be careful... especially when a system utility is at version 1.0. And again... read all or at least most of the reviews here and at VersionTracker before making your decision.

How do you think people would react if suddenly Adobe said the only way you could purchase Photoshop is if you also purchased Illustrator?

I am NOT degrading the applications... just that it was a VERY bad business move to no longer give the users the option to ONLY purchase what they wanted and not be forced to purchase an additional application that they may not want.

CABEL  HI RONL,

Don't misunderstand -- we definitely understand where you are coming from!

By the same argument, though, Adobe charges a lot of money for Photoshop, and I think a lot of that money goes to the cost of developing features I will never even remotely use or care about in a million years. That said, I would never try asking Adobe to make me a special, half-price version of Photoshop cutting out the handful of features I'll never use -- I just understand that while some features aren't for me, Photoshop on the whole is still a nice, useful program.

To boot, I've often wondered "who would ever want this feature?" before, only to find that, after using it, it's invaluable.

Even at a $25 upgrade cost, we really think the new features, of which there are many, such as 512x512 icons, full Dock customization, a brand new interface, icon quick look, etc., are well worth it. We hope that anyone who has the opportunity to try the CandyBar 3 demo will agree.

CABEL  kknopp:

If you feel CandyBar was overpriced when it was set at only $13 (!) -- well, I'd say it's probably not the program for you. I can't imagine what price you think it should be! There's literally no way we could price a piece of software at less than $13 and keep it active, constantly updated with new versions and new features, fully supported, etc. My apologies.

(Also, keep in mind: it is no longer "just a freakin' icon changer". We didn't want to raise the price without adding significant value to the program, new features, and great functionality, like Dock changing, large icon support, icon organizing, etc.)

Soothe:

It's a good point about Photoshop Elements. But it's a lot easier to develop and support two separate versions of an application at once when you're a huge company like Adobe -- and when your "cut-down" version costs $99! :)

BRUCE_Y  I bought Pixadex and CandyBar as separate apps a while back.

I have used Pixadex a fair amount, though not regularly. I bought it because IconBox was discontinued, and I wanted a supported app to store and access my icons.

I have used CandyBar maybe two times in as many years.

Now along comes CandyBar 3, which requires (a) Leopard, (b) more money.

It kind of leaves me out in the cold, because I don't have Leopard (no rush for the .0 or even .1 OS), and I don't fancy the rather steep price to upgrade when it seems all their effort went into the Leopard-only CandyBar. The app that I really want/use is the Pixadex.

Make it Tiger compatible (OK to have some features reserved for Leopard only), and lower the upgrade price, and i'd jump on it.

Just my opinion.

Perhaps I will change my mind about CandyBar when I do get around to Leopard, since Apple in their own bizarre fashion have decided to downgrade all folder icons to a design that is almost impossible to tell them apart (What Were They Thinking - or Not Thinking more likely).

It's quite simple.

Also, Panic can't price themselves out any market as there isn't another app that does all it does. There are free icon changers and I've tried them all .. they suckkkkk..

Candybar 3 is a better app then either CB2 or Pixedex. If you bought CB2 then you get a discount which amounts to $6 more then CB2 costs. That's not a horrible deal.

You're also free not to purchase it. I can respect you sticking to your guns and not buying CB3 .. but don't dis the new app as this app is BETTER then either of it's two previous parts and there are a lot of us who are glad they did this.

RONL  This made it possible for me to continue using an older Epson printer (which still prints excellently and which I had recently bought cartridges). Thank you! Also their forums are extremely helpful. And to think these are free!

RONL  Essential! Nuf said.

The only thing I'd be concerned about if I were St. Clair Software would be that it seems whenever Apple sees an app is this good... they often incorporate it into the OS.

RONL  With you developing this, Rainer, I trust Quay.

I've been using XRay for years (which of course you also developed) and I wouldn't want to be without it.

Glad to see you recognized the real need for our regaining the ability to access hierarchical menus from the Dock. Apple really dropped-the-ball here.

Thanks!

RONL  Anyone using a recent Mac can use DiskUtility to do this for free. Simply open DiskUtility and click on Help in the menubar and search for AES. Help will tell you how to set up a VERY secure, and VERY quick to open... i.e. literally a few seconds DMG. The encrypted DMGs can be easily set for sizes from MBs to GBs in size. VERY easy (no tech-savy needed) with either 128 or 256 bit encryption.

RONL  Toast 6.0.9 works fine for me with Leopard 10.5.1. Yes it verifies and when I checked many files they were byte-for-byte exactly as the originals. I also burned both CDs and DVDs.

RONL  The BEST!

Since I have a website with a public email address... every spammer, bot, etc. has me on their email/spam list it seems.

Once it's set up it's rare for anything to get through.

And the tech support is as great as it gets!

RONL  Unbelievably rude tech support.

Nice app as long as you don't go on their forum asking for help.

Incredibly rude and hostile.

I very humbly asked for a little help and Rick acted like I had wasted his time simply because I had forgotten to take note of all of the text that had appeared in the Terminal window.

Then he [u]immediately[/u] banned me from the forum! (i.e. I could no longer post so that he could continue to rant!... unbelievable!

RONL  Buy it... it's a no brainer!

This is an app I would not want to be without.

Email would be a spam nightmare without it.

Virtually no spam gets through SpamSieve's filters.

And the tech support is as fast and efficient as any software I've ever used and I've been at this on a Mac for around ten years now.

RONL  Hopefully this update is better than the pathetic last update. The last update was using approx. 70-85% of my CPU cycles. I had to trash it.

RONL  This app is incredibly well designed and the tech support is excellent. Without a doubt it is as good as it gets for spam filtering and would be one of a handful of apps that would deserve 6 stars if VT would allow it. One word -- Superb!
