BABYFETT Just plain awesome. I recently got an old iBook to do some work around the house as opposed to always being chained to my iMac downstairs and I love how seamlessly it works. I love starting a document downstairs and coming upstairs to finish it without having to think about emailing it to myself. I also find it perfect for new 1Password logins that I have one one machine and need to import into another. I just export them right into my dropbox. My only complaint is that I would love to have the option to have files copy into the dropbox as opposed to move into it. I know I can easily option drag it in, but I would like to not even have to think about it and just have that be my default in the preferences. (Version 0.6.507) | |

Contactizer Pro | Aug 31 2008 |
BABYFETT Anyone know how to get the Project Manager to work? I want to buy the bundle for Contactizer alone, and while I love the UI and most of the features, the one that interests me the most is the Project Manager, but it seems very cumbersome and when you add a contact to a project it doesn't seem to show up in the contact's information (you can only see it through the project.) Am I missing something? Also, how do you attach notes to a project that's tied to the contact involved? I posted to the products forum and haven't got a single response. Any help would be appreciated. (Version 3.6.7) | |

StoryMill | Jul 3 2008 |
BABYFETT I too tested both Scrivener and Story Mill and while both had features I wished the other had, I ended up with Scrivener because there were certain limitations to Story Mill that were just too detrimental to the process. I couldn't change font size in the main window (I don't always want to write in full screen mode.) Anyway, Scrivener won my money. (Version 3.1) | |

BABYFETT Tested it out for a day and bought it. Everyone knows Quicken for Mac sucks and this was the answer...for me. Doesn't have some of the features of Quicken, but it's real close. If you want an extremely simple to use program to manage your checkbook, savings accounts, investments and credit cards, this is the program for you. It allows for online banking and the switch from Quicken is pretty flawless. I love that I can download statements directly into the program as opposed to downloading a QIF or a QFX and then opening them and importing them. Also, they have extensions/plugins you can download to sync stock prices with your portfolio. I'm really liking this program and I hesitate to mention any of my quibbles because each time I think the program is lacking something, someone in the forums explains what I'm doing wrong. Finally, some people have complained that the interface isn't very "Mac." And to those people I say, "Who cares?" It's refreshing to use a program that doesn't look like iTunes. Definitely try this program out. It's worth every penny and then some. (Version 2008) | |

BABYFETT Fun potential, but still needs some work. I love the automatic export to html, but not everyone wants to post their lovable apps on the net and right now that's the only option you have other than printing it. Would be nice if you could automatically save as some kind of file like a PDF that you could distribute to friends. Every time I tried to print as a PDF the programmed crashed (gave up after four times.) I was able to export to html, drag the file into Safari and then save the page as a PDF and that worked fine and it included all the links, but it would be ideal to automate all those steps. Also, I don't like that the title of the printed list is the name of your hard drive. There seems to be no way to alter this than to change the name of your administrator name. That's a hassle no one needs. Also, I'd like to be able to change the name of the app. For example I wanted to add a plugin, but all I can access is the installer file and it includes the words "Chax Installer" for example. Would be great if I could edit the name and get rid of "installer." Anyway, right now I don't think the program is ready for primetime, but with a few tweaks I think it has potential to be a fun app that lets you share you favorite apps with the world.

BABYFETT Great little app, but the start on login doesn't work and it would be great if the "hide when inactive" didn't trigger with a screensaver or sleep. I love that it disappears when I'm using another app, but I'd love for it to remain in that mode when I leave my computer for a couple of hours, however when the screensaver or sleep kicks in, it hides the app. Be great if they could add a medium-hide type of feature. But overall a great lightweight to do program that syncs flawlessly with the mail and ical to dos. (Version 1.0) | |

BABYFETT I've been waiting for this update and was very disappointed that they didn't implement the ability to search for your photos via "event." "Last Import" and "Last Twelve Months" are too extremes, we need something in the middle so we don't have to wade through every picture to find the one we're looking for. And the search bar is pointless for most picture searches because unless you name each individual picture and remember that name they're just a number that the camera assigns and it's hard to search for.

Think | Apr 23 2008 |
BABYFETT Not sure what the last poster was talking about because in v1.2 you can certainly use the command + tab feature to switch between applications. I just tried both this app and Isolator and Think wins hands down. With Isolator if I was working in Word and wanted to switch between two documents, I couldn't. I'd have to turn off Isolator and then click on the second document window and then turn Isolator back on. Annoying. But with Think it's flawless and the interface is great and easy to use. Does exactly what it promises and does it great. And I love how you can bring up a guest application (to check mail while writing a Word document) and then just click back on the main application or the background the guest application is hidden away again. Love this. Improving my productivity to no end. (Version 1.2) | |

Isolator | Apr 23 2008 |
BABYFETT I would imagine a lot of people would want to use this with word processors, so they can concentrate, but while using Word I needed to access another window within Word and when I did, it automatically hid the first document and the only way I could get back to it was to turn off Isolator. Also, it gives you the option to Hide Dock, I assumed it meant that it would disable it while you were working so when you got to the bottom of the page it wouldn't pop back up, but there it was. If it just hides the Dock, you can set that up in your regular OS X preferences. I was really hoping this product would be for me. If I'm doing something wrong in Word, I'd love to give this bad boy another shot. Thanks! (Version 3.0) | |

Isolator | May 15 2008 |
BENW Hi Babyfett -- I think you are just looking for a different set of features. Isolator keeps one application in the foreground, and obscures the rest. So when you switch away from Word (say), your Word windows will be obscured. You might be interested in Think, which works differently. The idea of the 'Hide Dock' option is that you can have the Dock displayed during normal use, and just have it hide when you turn Isolator on. If you normally have the Dock on auto-hide, that feature won't be useful to you. (Version 3.0) | |

BABYFETT GREAT PRODUCT! It's a PhotoShop Elements killer and for my needs it's also a CS3 PhotoShop killer. I bought this as part of the MacUpdate promo a few months ago and there's already been two or three updates and each one amazes me. If you're looking for a cheap (money-wise) alternative to PhotoShop with lots of extras that'll save files with layers in PSD or any other format, this is the product for you. At the very least take it for a test spin. (Version 1.1.4) | |
