DADAMA  I have to say that Data Rescue is a damn good piece of software. Got in a bundle last year but didn't have much use for it until disaster struck recently. I tried this, as well as almost every other file recovery program out there (e.g., Stellar Phoenix, R-studio, Mac Data Recovery, File Salvage, to recovery my files from 2 reformatted hard drives. By far and away, Data Rescue, was the most reliable and most successful at recovering my lost data. I now consider Data Rescue a must have utility along with Disk Warrior, iPartition, and iDefrag.

DADAMA  Looks like this software may be abandoned. The links to the program no longer work but the developer is still accessible @ http://www.synthesisstudios.com/studios/filespot. Too bad, it is a good piece of software. Of course, it is quite possible that the new features in Snow Leopard will make programs like this redundant.I contacted the developer and this was their response:

It is on hold for the time being, but within a month or two we will be deciding whether to continue development or not.  
(Version 2.1)

DADAMA  I really like this application. I received it as part of the MH III bundle and originally thought nothing of it but after trying it I was very impressed. Although I primarily use Aperture and PS, I found this lighter weight program ideal for editing images quickly and efficiently and it has some interesting features such as capturing images from iSight and a great suite of filters. While it may not be the application I use for serious image editing, I find that I use it more and more for quick image editing (resize, crop, etc.) for casual use (posting to blog, email, etc). Finally, it is an application that I recommend to friends and family for image editing over PSE or iPhoto and I would hate to see Acron become the bloatware that these programs have become. Well done Flying Meat!  
(Version 1.5.3)

DADAMA  Maybe this isn't the place for it but charging for these minor updates is frigging offensive. Roxio isn't the only offender here. Today I see that Filemaker is offering a "new version" for $149.00. Fortunately with many of these program you can skip every third or forth upgrade. In that regard, I'm still using Toast 7 and it works well on 10.5.6, as does Filemaker 8.5, and SOHO 6, etc, etc ... I spend way too much money on software as it is. We are fortunate that there are some darn good companies out there such as Econtechnologies among many others that have been offering significant upgrades free to registered users (Chronosync v.4, was also released today). I sure don't mind supporting software developers like these!  
(Version 10)

DADAMA  Yes too be fair synchronization does work better but it would be nice to see more synchronization options other than Mobileme. Omnifocus sets the bar in this regard. I should say that I find myself using this software much more than I anticipated (sans synchronizing) and I think it is better than much of the competition (Yojimbo/Eaglefiler/etc).

For synchronizing simple notes and to do lists across computers/platforms I use Evernote and for heavy duty filing I rely on Devonthink (now in 2beta). I find I use Together at home daily as dropbox for collecting and tagging files for filing later. For this I think it is the best software going.  
(Version 2.2.4)

DADAMA  This program has so much potential as a file organizer, information manager and note taking/journaling software. It is functions like a hybrid between MacJournal(http://www.marinersoftware.com/) and Together (http://reinventedsoftware.com/together/) and in many ways is superior to both. It has much nicer interface than either, you can embed files with in each other (unlike together), and handles links,images and other file types better than Macjournal.

Having said all that it does not offer synchronization (which MacJounal does well and Together doesn't do well) and it could improve it's file structure. Currently it store it files in obscurely numbered folders in your Documents folder. Unfortunately because of these 2 short comings I still rely on the other programs mentioned for journal and information management. However, as mentioned in my opening sentence this program has a great potential and look forward to seeing it evolve.  
(Version 2.5.5)

DADAMA  This product is merely ho hum. Synchronization is poorly implemented and buggy, the program is sloooow to import and the interface is nothing revolutionary. Like other projects in this category (Yojimbo/Eaglefiler/Journaler) there is a lot of potential and room for improvement.
