PhotoDreamer: Wallpapers | Sep 15 2009 |
SWO Seems like a cool app, till you've downloaded it and are hamstrung by it's $5 fee. Now, while I think capitalism in moderate doses is OK, to charge for an app that does nothing but find wallpaper (that a half enterprising person could find on their own for free ) is pushing it.

Apple Security Update | Mar 26 2008 |
SWO Not trusting this Security Update much. In the past they have appeared in Software Update, now nothing. Also some of the experiences other have had with it give me pause.

MACUPDATE ADMIN This software update is direct from the Apple servers, nothing shady here. Historically, Apple Security Updates are available via Software Update, sometimes not.

MACUPDATE ADMIN And the 'other experiences' you speak of are comments/reviews of an earlier version of the Apple Security Update. Each post is tagged with the date of the post and the software version.

MacCleanse | Feb 22 2008 |
SWO I use this app regularly, though it is powerful and requires a bit of understanding of it's functions (which is why if I don't understand something, I leave it alone till I do or am feeling adventurous). Some of my concerns seem to have been address in this update, though I can't stand to look at the Mac Cleanse icon. Does anyone know if there are any alternative icons out there? It doesn't have to be for Mac Cleanse, per se, it just has to fit the app's purpose.

Speed Download | Feb 12 2008 |
SWO Speed Download is an app that I generally enjoy using. It downloads faster than Safari or Firefox via my broadband connection, though I am not sure that that is just my perception. I like what I hear about the changes in SD5, but $25 to upgrade an app that I generally use only as a download manager (I understand that there are many nice features, but $25 worth, I am not so sure)? I think that I will stick with version 4; if I feel the need for another download manager I think that I will look elsewhere because I am willing to use a download manager that does somewhat less (most of which I probably will not use anyway) but is more reasonably priced.

SWO That's interesting, because when I tried to upgrade I was charged $25.

SWO Interesting app, but doesn't Spaces in Leopard somewhat negate the need for it? What does it matter what size your Mail app is when you can have it take up an entire window? I have a Space just for Mail, so nothing shares space with it.

JRPAR I understand your point about Spaces, but I can't seem to get Spaces to work for me. I don't know if it's because I like all of my applications at hand or if it's because I haven't really been able to figure out how Spaces benefits me. Probably the latter, and that's probably due to some deficiency in my character:-) Meanwhile, MiniMail and I co-exist nicely for whatever reason. And I may be too set in my ways to change.

SWO Do you have a three-button mouse? If so, assign, let's say, the middle button to Spaces, so you can move very quickly from space to space. It is actually really efficient and intuitive, and prevents desktop clutter because you can see everything you have open at a glance (plus, you can create as many spaces as you need, and assign applications to a particular space). In fact, all you need to be able to do is to change desktops from one space to another (hopefully such functionality will turn up in 10.5.2) for Spaces to move up from 'Cool' to 'Excellent'!

SIMON BROWNE My dear, dear SWO, This is your fairy godmother. Your wish is granted - 10.5.2 does this and more. AND check out hot corners.

SWO Thanks for the heads up, Simon. I think that I miscommunicated though. When I said 'desktops' I meant desktops (Mac) or wallpaper (PC). On my MacMini at work I have Tiger and use You Control! Desktops so I can not only have a different desktop based upon whatever purpose I have in mind, but different backgrounds as well. As far as I am aware, Spaces does not yet have that level of functionality (though, trust me, I want to be so, so wrong;) As much as I dig Spaces, would like some way to visually differentiate each desktop.

SWO I haven't used Microsoft Access in awhile, but this program is much easier to use and customize. I have been looking for an app to categorize my comic collection for awhile, and this looks like the application that I will use. A great app, and if it retails around $49, definitely one I will purchase.
