CHAGRINS  I kind of like version 2 better (while it worked). The main addition is resizing, but it works really slowly (sort of like resizing a window on OS X 10.1) - also, sometimes show titles get stuck outside the viewing area. Also, scrolling is pretty choppy (and not helped by the "smooth scrolling" animation). Still, it's a pretty slick widget, and hopefully version 3 will improve.

CHAGRINS  This is very useful and simple - I used it to enter a contest which allowed multiple entries on a daily basis.

LaCie Update Tool

CHAGRINS  Different drives have different firmware. This firmware updater contains firmware for many different drives. Some LaCie drives will require an update, others will not. The Update Tool will tell if your drive needs updating.

CHAGRINS  This is a great, simple Othello game. I wish the dev would release a Universal Binary, and a simple network play option! Still works great under Tiger.

CHAGRINS  This software works, but isn't too polished. One example: the "thumb forward" and "thumb backward" icons and labels are reversed. Another example: it crashes a lot.

While I like the scrolling and tracking performance of the built-in OS X driver better, I'm pretty used to the extra buttons, so this seems to be the only free option.

CHAGRINS  Just to let people know, if they didn't already: this version will not update the MacHeist version. If you install this version (1.1.1) over the MacHeist version (1.1), it will revert to the demo.

CHAGRINS  I'm really impressed with this version. Drag-and-drop install, and it seems very fast. This is a big improvement.

AbiWord

****½

CHAGRINS  This is the only program I've found to open WordPerfect (wpd) files, other than MacLinkPlus. It takes awhile, and the interface isn't pretty, but AbiWord has reliably opened every WordPerfect file I've thrown at it, and allowed me to quickly export it into RTF or a number of other formats.

CHAGRINS  Works perfectly; would be great if dev added an authentication window (asking for your sudo password) instead of having to chmod...

CHAGRINS  Oh! That actually is useful and unique then—maybe a brief word about segments in the description is in order?

CHAGRINS  You can open RAR archives in VLC by drag-and-drop already. What is this for?

VLC RAR-Loader
Mar 1 2006

JJABBA  It's true that VLC will play most rar-files that are dropped on it. This works because most rar-releases have compression level set to zero, using the rar-archive only as a wrapper to split the movie file inside. VLC will however not play the whole movie but only the data from the very archive-segment you drop on it. VLC RAR-Loader on the other hand will "feed" VLC with all of the movie data from all of the rar-segments. That is what it's for.

CHAGRINS  Thanks to the Mac developers of this - if it weren't for their hard and excellent work, I'd still be using LyX in X11. Thank goodness!
