This integrates very well with browsers and organizes downloads in a neat way. Most important, the people at YazSoft are incredibly fast at responding to queries. Excellent product

This is definitely not there yet. Just messed up the messages that I tagged. Could not drag them to any of my forlders; they just popped back in to the orginal folder. Not even after deinstalling. I had to delete the messages to get them off. Anything MT touched it messed up. All the other emails that I did not tag with it were OK. So it's off my Mac. This is the 2nd time I've tried to use it and the second time it does something I don't like. !

I think this project is going nowhere. No updates for a very long time. No news on the site since Jan 10 and just to say that things were still happening. And before that, nothing since november 2007 and then a totally unrelated post about a Psion! Man, have we lost our $49 bucks!

I had been looking for a browser that supported blocking everything globally (cookies, popups, etc.) and then allowing the fine tuning of all these for single websites. OmniWeb does this stupendously! I also compared memory consumption of OmniWeb and other browsers and find no such huge difference as reported by others. Certainly the biggest hog seems to be FireFox. But given all the additional things that OmniWeb provides such as being able to clear cache by site and also, the ability to pick which search engine one wishes to use, there is no question that OW tops the rest. The price is very good, specially ont he family pack. Have made it my default browser.

I had to stop using this software. It is a bandwidth hog. Not much use that way. Did not find an option to limit upload speed.

The idea and concept are great but if it's going to suck the life out of my connection I can't use it.

Entrance 1.1

This does not work out of the box as stated in the developer's website. It complains about a classpath not being set or of some file not unzipped. There are no instructions on how to fix this. The app runs but it can't connect to anything.

The download link brings up a "site suspended" sign.

Not there.

AmazonWatcher 0.2a

Ok. links are fixed but I am not tracking "HOT" items. I want to track what I am interested in. For that the program does not work. Fo example I want to track a Nikon lens, ASIN: B000O161X0. If I put it on the list and then click on Item price drop to: and set 200.00, it starts bringing up popups with "Price too low to display" which is false, the page for that product states a stable price of $232.72. And it switches back to "Do not Watch". I also have another product under watch: ASIN: B000HNL8G0. That behaves OK, does not loose the "What to watch" state. So no, the app is still not working correctly.

The idea for this is very good and I was looking for something just like this. But: it doesn't work correctly. I put in 3 items to track. It will automatically change to "Do not watch" although I have specified that it is to watch it and have entered a price. It sort of switches on or off whatever it wants when it want to without me changing anything. Also, the links that come up in the alert window bring up 404 error pages at Amazon and items in the popup always say "Too low to display" which is false. Hope you get it fixed because it will be very useful.

Try VMware. It works and I found it easyer to use and everything worked for me: networking, sound, etc. I had been using parallels. No more.

VMware Fusion works great! I was using Parallels and did not pay much attention to VMware and the reviews here and at MacWorld were always putting Parrallels ahead. So I went with the crowd. Until I decided to try it and threw not only XP at it but also OpenBSD 4.1, Ubuntu Linux and just for the heck of it, BeOS 5. They all worked except for networking on BeOS but that was expected. On all the others, everyting worked. Sound, networking, graphics, you name it. And being able to run XP apps in their own window is a plus. On Parallels that still does not work as I0d like. And the best part was I got a promo via email with a 50% discount on VMware. So I got 2 licenses and AppZapped Parallels! Give it a shot.
