Billiards

**...

GPROVAN  I agree with some of the other reviewers. This doesn't play very well and the balls take too long to stop.

It would be best if we could access the game options from the menu bar, as they can't be accessed while the balls are moving, and the balls move for a long time. I also think the table seem too small for the snooker game. It would be good to have options for resizing to fit fullscreen.

"Amazing 3D computer simulation". 3D must mean something different to me!

For this price I would at least expect the employment of a computer opponent. Again, like some of the other reviewers mentioned; you can get better for free on the internet, and if this is the best pool/snooker simulation we have on the mac, then I'll stick to gaming on the PS2.

Synk Pro

*****

GPROVAN  I've tried many backup solutions over the years but Synk works very well.

There are many options to backups and synchronising which include giving you the option of saving changed files to a separate folder.

I synchronise about 15Gb of regularly changing work between 3 computers and this makes it a cinch. I've had no problems in the many weeks I've been using it.

The one thing that swung it for me was the support. The author runs a forum in which he tries to answer every query quickly and comprehensively. I've asked a few questions and have received answers the same day and to my satisfaction. You don't often get many authors actually caring about their customers.

The trial lasts 30 days and should be enough time to try it out. Once paid, you are eligible to any upgrade in the next 12 months for free.

What more could you want?

Personal Backup X5

**½..

GPROVAN  I too had version X3 on my system set up for Auto Update, and I too had it replaced by version X4. Not a good way to go about things!

Generally this application has been ok. One problem I found was that some files were not synchronizing and I had to create the scripts all over again, or pick the source disk and destination disk again.

Another problem was that if I tried synchronizing a large amount of files, say 7Gb, the system baulked and took days to complete. If I set it to synchronize 3Gb it worked in minutes.

I think I'll be looking elsewhere as this has given me several areas of concern.
