It is useful! It would be great to have access to these terms, but at $32, I think I will just search with Google when I have questions. It seems way to expensive to me.

While this IS good, it would have been better to have had updates for each printer instead of such a HUGE file to download just to update one printer.

Excellent, easy to use interface. Extends address book and iCal in wonderful ways. Great way to track simple information in a clean and uncluttered manner. Results look professional.

Very useful, but lacking in some key areas:

- Multiline addresses oddly not supported.

- No support for mailing labels.

- Calculation fields are much to basic, lacking in conditionals, and even rudimentary text and mathematical functions.

- Duration should include year as well.

- Needs reporting capabilities.

- Document fields should be extended to permit email messages.

This app is a diamond in the rough. Great retouching features. Needs a magic wand tool or some sort of magnetic lasso. Would also like to see an easy red-eye tool as well as blue, green and yellow eye tool for pets that few apps have. Undo remembers too much, though this is not always a bad thing, it would be nice to be able to have a "macro undo" and a "micro undo". This app deserves much more publicity!

This is a promising program; worth downloading as improvements are made. Definitely has bugs that need squashing... draw a rectangle, copy it and paste it and you get a circle or rounded rectangle. The web site seems bare and there is no place to report bugs that I can see. Wish there was a way to control the palette color, as well.

I did write this with just dogs in mind, as a concerned dog owner, however while getting information together for it, I did find that cats are more sensitive to certain things. NEVER give a cat paracetamol, not even a small quantity. Cat's systems also do not tolerate chocolate for the same reasons as dogs, however a finicky cat will usually not pay much attention to it, so it's not as much of a problem. A dog will gobble it right down given the chance.

This is the finest draw application on MacOS X outside of Illustrator. If it had better rotation and duplication tools, Illustrator would really not be all that much better. It beats Lineform with its much more complete and functional bezier tool. The developer is very good at supporting this product and responding to user emails.

UI issues have been corrected from what I can tell. If you write, speak, or even study Spanish, this widget is a must have. I use it all the time. Great definitions from a trustworthy source in a way that is easy to get.

Fabulous way to get definitions of Spanish words, and from a source which can't be beat. Widget works great; they've fixed the issues I had with it. If you speak or write in Spanish, this is a must!

Much improved; congratulations!! The ability to resize was working when I first installed it on Leopard, but when I looked up the second word, the size box disappeared and I can just scroll. After several words with long definitions, the size box hasn't come back.

I totally agree! I would much rather see all of these various messengers accessible from iChat. I don't want to run 4 different messenger programs to chat with my friends who use different messenger programs. Basically, iChat is my main program too. Many friends don't get chatted with as much for this reason.

The watermark feature doesn't work on my Mac. (Intel/MacOS 10.4.10) I tried both text and image, and the file is always devoid of either one. Too bad. This is really just what I need to do.

There seem to be Revised Standard Versions in many free applications, which also doesn't require a license, and is much more understandable to most modern readers.

Three cheers for MacUpdate. In these great bundle promotions, everybody wins.

As for the TT Pro DVD download, with thousands trying to download at once, it would have to be slow.

I have been a Lineform user since January. I just got Intaglio, but so far I love it. The bezier editing in Intaglio is much more intuitive and complete than in Lineform. They could learn a BIG lesson on that from Intaglio. Lineform's quirky and disappearing bezier handles are frustrating and have been one of the greatest reasons I rarely use it, but Intaglio seems to model its bezier behavior on Illustrator, which is quite logical and makes them easy to deal with. I find some features like option-dragging in Intaglio to be much more standard Mac-like behavior. So far I have no stability issues and I think Intaglio is a first-class gem of a very Mac-like application.

I get this error with 1.3.1 on a MacBook Pro and MacOS 10.4.10 and the most recent iTunes on launching Fetch Art and no music in the list:

Can't make «class pLoc» of «class cURT» id 6035 of «class cRTP» id 5926 of «class cSrc» id 5925 of application "iTunes" into type string. (-1700)

Applescript errors are such a pain!

I agree with Memphisbird's comment about SRS iWow. It really wasn't one of my big reasons for buying the bundle, but it really has given iTunes a BIG kick on my MacBook Pro speakers. I really didn't think such great sound was even possible on them. It really made the bundle worth while, along with lots of other great software here. I REALLYhope Itaglio gets in soon.

For me it works, but it's still missing an integrated ad blocker. Seems more like 2.5 than 3.0 to me with the small number of visible changes.

Wacom support and updates even for the old original Graphire are worth noting. This is a company that really takes support and updates seriously, even for older products. Because of all this, my next tablet will definitely be a Wacom product.

Actually, you CAN enter 24-hour time. The time preference of 12 or 24 hour time entry and display is selectable in in the iFly>Preferences... menu. Date entry on my computer DOES work with 3/27. When you tab out of the field, the year is entered. If it does not work on your computer according to your localized settings, please file a bug report. As for the arrival date not filling, tabbing out of the flight date field will automatically fill the arrival date field when you have a valid date specified in the flight date field.

For saving a record, there is a Save button in iFly. Hitting enter does not save a record by design. In iFly you need to enter several required fields and explicitly Save the record to prevent the database from filling with incomplete, useless records.

This product is an example of simplicity being elegance. Kudos to the author.

Great! Even seems to use the right date for Chinese horoscope animals. Many programs seem to get the animal wrong before Chinese new year. I have had to use other programs to get much of what this gives. It would be great if you could display the information without having to click the mouse, right in the address book, though.

In addition to the Reader, it installs an update application in your Utilities folder and a login item. These may be okay, but I dislike intensely when applications I choose to install also install MORE APPLICATIONS on my computer and login items without my knowledge. When will companies realize that I want to control what I update, or at least choose what tries to update itself. Software should not constitute an invasion of privacy.

Very good. Needs to allow the definition window to be resized. Scrolling is somewhat a pain just because the definition area is too small.

Everything seems to work great, but the ftp doesn't seem to work. I tried manually connecting and uploading to the right place and it worked, but via MultiAlarm 3.4.1 it doesn't. The idea is great, and except for this, it seems to work perfectly.

True to the great HP calculator. This is one of the better emulations I have seen and adds novel and useful features. Would love to see the calculator face look more like the original though; it would feel much nicer. You could add a bit of sound feedback to sort of make it feel like the original keys. Great job; I am greateful to you for this great program.

Works, but after the free credit, it let me buy credit, then sent me an email saying it was refunded. Seems to have bias about not letting some places, like whre I live, buy credit. Would save me money, but if you can't buy credits, it is useless.

iChat usually performs fairly well, but sometimes, even with good bandwidth, refuses to connect.

The idea that you have to pay $99 for .Mac to get encrypted chat is really a slap at users who purchase MacOS though.

Logical, easy to use and self-explanatory interface. Supported tools are easy to use except for transparency on color-filled shapes. Cool gradient feature, but needs color selection for center of gradient. Very stable.

Lacks layers, improved bezier curve editing, intelligent lines, text gradient fills.

Fair and reasonable price and responsive developer.
