BUEGELFREI  Insanely effective anti-spam plugin. I'm almost afraid to praise it publicly for fear of leading spammers to study it.

For years now I've scanned my junk mail box once a day for the odd piece of non-spam, but SpamSieve might make me lose the habit. It's been more than a month since any legit accidentally got tagged as spam. That means that my bleary eyes scanned 1745 subject lines in February for no reason whatsoever.

(For the statistically minded, a total 3 pieces of spam managed to get past SpamSieve in the same period).

One more thing to love about this plugin: it works with multiple email clients, so when you finally abandon Eudora for something else, you can take SpamSieve's settings with you.

Highest marks.

BUEGELFREI  Lovely little interface. My (almost hourly) backup schedule would have made a big mess in (slow) iCal, but CronniX made it fast and neat to set up. Although CronniX doesn't have yet have a functioning "intervals" scheduling tab, this was not a real hindrance. Events can be duplicated with a simple command-D, and a series of new times can be entered in seconds. Additionally, the help file includes a few pertinent Terminal tricks, and an email of thanks to the developer yielded a quick response from Sven with a couple shortcut tricks for my scheduling needs.

It's free, and it gets the job done. Works fine on OSX 10.4.8 on my 2.0 GHz DP G5 PPC.

Those looking for a GUI for rescheduling the system maintenance scripts in Tiger should probably look to the free OnyX.

BUEGELFREI  I've tried BARTsmart, plus BART Widget 0.941 and Definition's Bart Planner Widget 1.0. BARTsmart is my favorite, because it shows me what I really care about right up front: times. No goofy map interfaces, and since it connects to the net to get the schedules, I'm confident that they're as good as I'd get going to bart.gov.

I've been told that future versions of BARTsmart will be more customizable, so bike info can be displayed.

I've noticed that it's possible to open more than one BARTsmart window in Dashboard, which is perfect for getting you and your buddy on the same train when the two of you are starting out from different stations. Cool!  
(Version 0.7.5)

BUEGELFREI  I've been testing this BART widget as well as Woodware's BARTsmart and BART Planner. My preference is for BARTsmart, for its no-nonsense interface and the fact that it connects to the 'net to pull down whatever info BART has most recently published. Also, BARTsmart's developer says that future revisions will be customizable to show stuff like when bicycles are allowed.

But this one is still quite OK... I find the graphical map interface a bit silly and cumbersome. But the schedule view is quite alright, especially since it's possible with this widget to look further ahead in the schedule.

BUEGELFREI  This is how I got FontGander Pro 1.6 to work on an OS X 10.4.3 / Classic 9.2.2 machine:

1. Start Classic

2. Install ATM 4.6.2, and restart Classic (as the installer tells you to do)

3. Open FontGander and drop fonts and folders on Gander just as you would in the good old days before OS X...

4. However, OpenType fonts need to be installed in the Fonts folder in the classic System Folder in order for Classic to recognize them as fonts. Keep in mind, too, that fonts need to be unenclosed in the system Fonts folder to work (no nested folders, that is). And that you need to restart FontGander (and probably the whole Classic system) after adding fonts to the system before they'll be available to FontGander.

Notes:

ATM 4.6.2 is the "lite" flavor of ATM. ATM Deluxe stopped at 4.6.1a. 4.6.2 adds support for OpenType, so, yeah, you'll probably want the "lite" version. It's still free from Adobe.

Without one flavor or another of ATM to provide rasterization, FontGander prints (and displays) fonts jaggy. Fine for pixel fonts, but nothing else. Oh, fonts in the system folder print fine too, without need of ATM.

You could try to put all the fonts you're printing into the system folder, but when doing large groups of fonts, I inevitably ran into a font or two that would make LaserWriter 8 (or AdobePS 8.8, I tried both) drop a print job (no warning, no alert, the job would just disappear from the print queue).

That said, fonts installed in the system folder printed slightly better on my old Apple Laserwriter 4/600 PS than the fonts which got their smoothing by way of ATM. But not so much better that it was worth the hassles of dropped print jobs and the much slower printing of fonts from the system folder. Verdict: ATM lite is OK!

Back in OS X 10.4 land... I found Automator super helpful for swapping copies of OpenType fonts in and out of Classic's Font folder (and in the process, stripping the organizing folders FontExplorer X had buried the fonts in), restarting Classic and FontGander.

By the way, this really is the last gasp for FontGander, since Apple recently said that "Classic" will not be supported on the new Intel chip Macs.
