CHRISCHRAM  I dunno whose fault it is, but the bottom line is that at least one site I go to frequently does not work at all with version 10, but downgrading back to version 9 makes everything nice again.

The big feature of version 10 is supposed to be better security. I guess not working at all is the best security ever.  
(Version 10.0.12.36)

CHRISCHRAM  I've had far too many sites fail to run properly with various beta versions of Flash Player 10 installed. I just went back to version 9 and I'll stay there until the FINAL version 10 comes out.  
(Version 10.0.12.10)

CHRISCHRAM  If I ever navigate to a site that requires Silverlight, that'll be the time I decide whether to install it or just never go back to that site. Flash is bad enough, what with many sites thinking I need to see their cute intro movie before I'm allowed to enter. For now, Just Say No to Silverlight.  
(Version 2.0b2)

CHRISCHRAM  I wrote that scary WARNING below about the previous version of this package. I was assured by the developers that whatever happened to my system shouldn't have been caused by their product. Still wary, and after a sufficient passage of time, I plucked up the courage to try another installation. Not one single problem! Running a backup before installing new stuff is still a good idea though.

I just installed this new version. The installer does a logout after it's done. When I got the Finder back, everything was running like thick mud, but after a proper restart, the system was backup to speed, if not a bit faster. My X11 applications seem much peppier than before.  
(Version 2.2.2)

CHRISCHRAM  I tested this application with two .wmv files I had lying around, one less than 2-minutes and medium/poor quality and one 18-minutes and very high quality. Using something close to the default settings, the short clip converted to a very washed-out .mp4 file of much worse quality than the original and the long clip churned for over an hour and produced no output at all. This application is not ready for prime-time.  
(Version 1.2)

CHRISCHRAM  This widget is just the ticket for those of us planning a trip to Mars, but wondering how to pack. HINT: bring a coat.

But seriously, my Dashboard is so full-up, I opted for the Phoenix project's Google Gadget that does the same thing. The Project also has an interesting screensaver. Check 'em all out.  
(Version 1.0)

CHRISCHRAM  It's nice to finally see a comics widget that works in Leopard. I'd used Say Cheese for awhile, and was unhappy when it self-destructed.

One negative: User Friendly is missing.

On another note: I looked at the JavaScript inside this widget to see where it was finding the black and white version of Dilbert, but could make no sense of it. Who out there knows where on the web this version is available. I find the color strip at dilbert.com to be unnecessary eye-candy.  
(Version 1.0)

CHRISCHRAM  This whole Swatch Time thing was a big deal three years ago, but seriously, does ANYONE at all actually keep time this way? It seemed silly then. It seems no less silly now. Wasn't it just a Swatch company scheme to bolster sagging sales of their overpriced watches?  
(Version 1.0)

CHRISCHRAM  WARNING: Be sure to have a good system backup before installing version 2.2.1. YMMV, but it rendered my Early 2006 iMac unbootable. Thank the gods for Time Machine!  
(Version 2.2.1)

CHRISCHRAM  It states "Intel Mac" under requirements. What it really should say is "Intel Mac with Core 2 Duo processor." Older Intel Macs with Core Duo processors need not apply.  
(Version 1.3)

CHRISCHRAM  This application hadn't been updated in years! I'd all but given up on it.

I'd like the developer to consider making a "Remember? Lite" frontend for iCal. I can't help but think that would be a popular application.  
(Version 4.3)

CHRISCHRAM  Version 4.3b2 fixes the crashing problem I observed in version 4.3b1. Good work developer.  
(Version 4.3b2)

CHRISCHRAM  Version 4.3b1 crashes when I try to open one of my catalog files. This is still an excellent application, but skip this version.  
(Version 4.3b1)

CHRISCHRAM  Has anyone tried playing a CD through iTunes 7.6? That was the KILLER bug in 7.5, so one would hope the problem's been addressed by now.  
(Version 7.6)

CHRISCHRAM  As far as I can ascertain, this plugin blocks ads by not allowing Safari to launch. (Intel iMac; latest Leopard; latest Safari)  
(Version 2.0r2)

CHRISCHRAM  It is indeed a paid update. $25.00 plus a shipping charge of $5.00 and up and up and up. Last time I paid for a TTP update was a year-and-a-half ago, so I guess it's not too bad, but I really hate it when they gouge you for shipping. Any of us could mail a DVD for less than a buck.  
(Version 4.6.1)

CHRISCHRAM  Under Leopard, does not download schedule. Back to 1.8.1.  
(Version 1.9)

CHRISCHRAM  This version has a major problem! Under Leopard, it is impossible to return to the front side of the widget from the preferences side. I guess I'll have to take a trip in my Time Machine to find the previous version.

Leopard users: Skip this one!  
(Version 1.9)

CHRISCHRAM  I'd really like to like this widget, but it's just too unstable. I like the way it can find independent weather stations, though the forcasts appear to still come from "official" weather stations. My biggest problem is that this widget can rarely survive a computer restart without losing its settings, and the settings cannot be restored because something in the plist file or the widget itself gets corrupted. I don't want to have to delete all traces and reinstall this thing just to get it working again.  
(Version 1.42)

CHRISCHRAM  I have used MacProgramGuide since the start, and I find it to be infinitely more useful than the online sites. That said, nobody likes to pay for something that was previously free. I signed up for the first quarter of service from schedulesdirect with the hope that the price would drop if they got enough subscriptions. (I believe schedulesdirect is shooting for a price of $20/year if this thing catches on. That's not too bad.) If the second quarter price remains at $15, I'm afraid I'll have to look elsewhere for my TV listings. Right now I find both Zap2it and TitanTV to be useless.  
(Version 0.56)

CHRISCHRAM  This application does not work properly unless I remove my glasses. Then I can't see my Mac's screen.  
(Version 0.9)

CHRISCHRAM  I see the price for this less than useful app has gone up to 15 euros. Lemme see. TextEdit is free. TextWrangler is free. Do you suppose anyone at all has ever purchased this product?  
(Version 3.0)

CHRISCHRAM  A year or so ago a version of VueScan started giving my Microtek scans a yellow cast. Mr. Hamrick was quite responsive. It took a couple weeks of betas, but he eventually fixed the problem. Trouble is, he doesn't have hundreds of scanners to work with, and has to rely on manufacturers information and customer feedback.  
(Version 8.4.08)

CHRISCHRAM  Be afraid, be very afraid! This product is being distributed by medea.co.uk, a notorious and unrepentant spammer. I have been getting a constant spew from these guys for at least half a year. The spam-catcher email address receiving these ads could only have been obtained by scraping Usenet posts.  
(Version 2.4.2)

CHRISCHRAM  It says version 3.4.5 at the top of the page, but it's still downloading version 3.4.3.  
(Version 3.4.5)

CHRISCHRAM  Hold on to version 7.x.x if you are on an Intel Mac (I haven't tested this on a PowerPC) and have any of Adobe's "Digital Editions" ebooks. Select Digital Editions from the File menu and you are taken to a webpage that has nothing at all to download. Sheesh, they could have at least waited until this bugmobile was ready for prime time!  
(Version 8.0)

CHRISCHRAM  I just manually checked my Yahoo mailbox, and there was this HUGE backlog of unanswered mail going back weeks and weeks. This widget just plain doesnt work on my iMacIntel.  
(Version 2.0)

CHRISCHRAM  You don't have to wait for an Intel version of this app. it's quite easy to compile. Just download the source code from the dev's website, in Terminal navigate to the source code's folder, type make. That Easy. (You must have Xcode installed for this magic to work.)  
(Version 2.5.1)

CHRISCHRAM  Adding to Spyro's comment: (You must have Xcode Tools installed for this procedure to work.) Download the source code from the dev's website. Double-click the archive to unzip and untar it. In Terminal type 'cd' (without the quites) and a space, then drag the 'ManOpen-2.5.1' folder to the terminal window, then . Type 'make' . In a few seconds you will find ManOpen.app and openman in the folder. Drag ManOpen.app to somewhere you keep your Applications. Drag openman to somewhere in your PATH. You're done.  
(Version 2.5.1)

CHRISCHRAM  iTerm opens all new windows and tabs transparent. Maybe it's just me, but I do not like transparent windows, and have to hit Cmd-U after opening each new tab. The workaround would seem to be to write an AppleScript to open new tabs, but why should I have to go to that trouble to turn off a "feature" that should have been set by global preferences?  
(Version 0.9)

CHRISCHRAM  Laraine, it was not clear from your review whether you were aware that SCSI devices must me powered up before you boot your Mac into OS X. This is a quirk of OS X's underlying UNIX innards. Try turning your scanner on, then reboot into OS X and see if Vuescan works for you. I once had the same model of scanner you have, and Vuescan worked quite well on it.  
(Version 8.3.62)

CHRISCHRAM  Even though this app is compiled as a Universal Binary, it does not work properly on a MacIntel machine. The .flv file gets downloaded, but is never converted to anything. I tried running under Rosetta...No Joy.  
(Version 1.0)

CHRISCHRAM  This version is compiled as a Universal Binary, but on my Intel iMac it quits suddenly and unceremoniously part way through booting from my OS 8 CD. I have tried several different ROM files from Performas and Quadras, and consistently get the same poor results. Once-upon-a-time I had a version of Basilisk running on an old PowerPC machine. It was pretty crashy, but at least it ran a bit.  
(Version 19b)

CHRISCHRAM  On my new MacIntel iMac most of the functions of this program don't work at all. Click a button and wait forever. No function, no feedback no nothing.  
(Version 3.6.1)

CHRISCHRAM  I was unable to get this application to do anything useful on my MacIntel box. I suspect that many Universal Binary application developers are trusting Xcode way too much instead of actually testing their software on the newest Intel hardware.  
(Version 2.5.5)

CHRISCHRAM  Like many recent applications that 'claim' to be Universal Binaries that work on MacIntel machines, this is another one that just doesn't live up to its claim. Runs just fine on my old G4, but crashes like Gangbusters on this new iMac.  
(Version 4.3.4)

CHRISCHRAM  I feel compelled to amend the hasty review I gave this application. iTerm works just fine on MacIntel but does NOT seem to save its preferences. I'm sure this will eventually be corrected, but at this point I have to downgrade it a bit.  
(Version 0.8.2)

CHRISCHRAM  Man, am I happy to see this application updated to run on MacIntel. version 0.81 was seriously broken. Thank you Developer.  
(Version 0.8.2)

CHRISCHRAM  I've used Kensington trackballs since the late '80s, but it looks like my Expert Mouse Pro will have to sit in the drawer until a MacIntel version of this driver is released. Please guys, get it out soon before I start to really love or really hate this Mighty Mouse.  
(Version 2.9)

CHRISCHRAM  Since installing this, Camino has slowed to a crawl. I'll withhold any blame for this phenomenon until I see what happens after I reinstall Camino. Anyone else have this trouble?  
(Version 1.0.1)

CHRISCHRAM  I can't decide whether to characterize this application as a benign trojan horse or an evil practical joke. Be prepared to "Quit" this program with the reset switch, rather than the accustomed method. :-( The "Music" is kind of interesting.  
(Version 1.0)

CHRISCHRAM  I was so impressed by the demos of iData 2 that I scrapped it and bought a license for iData 1. Why? Datafiles with simple plain text data, such as those generated by the late, great IngoGenie, balloon up to enormous size under iData 2. Look at an iData 2 file with BBEdit and you'll see why. Each record's metadata is up to 10 times the size of the actual data you're storing. YMMV of course, but iData 1 works for me while iData 2 is just plain overkill.  
(Version 2.0.2)

CHRISCHRAM  I finally got fed up and reverted back to the previous version. 7.5b1 is just too intrusive! I will give them credit for _FINALLY_ being able to scan inside StuffIt files. On the very, very minus side, I started getting tons of tmp... files in three AppleWorks folders shortly after I installed Virex.  
(Version 7.5b1)

CHRISCHRAM  I had reason to dig this application out recenty and try it out under Panther. It's still sort of usable, but pretty unstable in that environment.  
(Version 1.4)

CHRISCHRAM  Maybe I haven't been keeping up with the news, but why would I want to downgrade QuickTime to 6.4? Apple's site linked from this page gives nary a clue. Whatever is going on here, version 6.5 appears to be working nicely on the systems I administer.  
(Version 6.4)
