DOTMACX  I wish I could give zero stars.

My free version automatically updated itself to a newer version which requires a license!

Hello! You can't do that unless you make it VERY clear that by clicking the update button you lose your previous full version.

It's low enough charging for previously free software. Automatically installing over it is even worse.

DOTMACX  VueScan—I love you. But you're just not aging that well.

You're past due for a nice GUI polishing.

HOLYPOLY  The GUI may not be the prettiest in cyberspace, but it is clean and functional IMHO.

VICLEN  What would I prefer? The author to continue adding features and fixing bugs, or to spend time on changing a GUI that is half-decent at the moment? No contest...

FOULGER  Lets have an honourable compromise - you design a new Gui and submit it to Ed Hamrick and let the author get on and keep up his excellent work in keeping the Application current

Microsoft Messenger

DOTMACX  What a joke of an instant messaging client.

Skype, AIM, and Yahoo! all offer video conferencing on the Mac and MS Messenger doesn't come even close to offering that functionality.

Even sending simple text messages seems clunky.

Feels like a Windows port.

DOTMACX  Great software that I use regularly with my old Umax Astra 3400.

I keep hoping for an interface facelift, though.

GraphicConverter X

DOTMACX  Nothing beats it for simple and quick image manipulation.

I can open, crop, and scale an image in GraphicConverter before Photoshop is even open.

While the interface is not cocoalicious, it's decent. And very workable.

DOTMACX  I JUST started having this problem myself. Been using Transmission for a long time now, though haven't used it in a couple months. Tried opening a torrent for download and get Mr. Beachball. Tried a clean install and still no go.

Mellel

NOAHSAGER  Mellel is now my best friend when writing papers. It may not have all the features of Word, but it does have all the features ever needed in light academic writing. (I use LaTeX for heaving writing.) It's very easy to use. It's text rendering is gorgeous compared to Word and let's not even talk about AppleWorks. Mellel has never crashed for me—EVER! And at only $35 for the academic license (I paid $29, since I was a registered user before the upgrade) you can't go wrong!

ANONYMOUS  The last 3 betas have had an issue (mostly with avi's) where audio and video are out of synch by about 3 seconds. It used to not happen, but it has become worse with each beta.

ANONYMOUS  A menubar version? Why don't you try CheckOff, which this person obviously copied when he designed Deep Notes.
