HOMER1  I have been using Bookit for a few years now. Briefly tried Bookdog but found it confusing at best. I'm sure it works well, I just didn't care for the interface.

Due to a HD failure I lost most of my shareware registrations, Bookit included. Earlier this week I sent an email to the developer and yesterday morning in my in-box was a very courteous response with my registration code included. I installed the software under Snow Leopard 10.6.1 and it functions perfectly.

Granted, I only use Safari and Camino as my browsers so the lack of Firefox support does not affect me. Still, given that these are shareware developers, who have outside jobs to actually be able to pay their bills, I think some of the recent reviews/comments of this software are a bit out of line. Just my two cents.  
(Version 3.7.5)

HOMER1  Desker - the email address is support@crashplan.com. I've always received a prompt response.

This morning I too had the "can't connect" error. Sent an email and was told that they were having server issues but expected to resolve within a few hours, worst case 24 hours. It happens.

Prior to this morning I have been hammering their servers with upload after upload, and then downloading files to make sure that all was well with the transfers in both directions. So for, not a glitch.

Contact their support folks. I'm sure you'll receive a response back clarifying any issues you may be having.

HOMER1  I've been trying out on-line backup programs for months now. Dropbox looked promising but the issues are many, and security (read encryption!) does not exist.

Tried CrashPlan based on the very favorable review in MacWorld and I'll tell you it's perfect. Not only does the program perform, I've had questions that I emailed the support contact about, and received an email response back within 24 hours in all three cases (and I'm not even a "paid" user yet).

I'll be signing up tonight and I recommend that anyone looking for an easy, Mac like, secure on-line backup program give CrashPlan a serious look.

HOMER1  I'm a previous user of the older AppDelete who at some point in the past switched over to AppCleaner. I’ve now been trying out this updated utility (using the “Search” function so as not to actually delete any applications) against AppCleaner and I did find that on the application Bento as well as a few others it (AppDelete) seems to find at least one additional file (seem to be the "cache" files) beyond what AppCleaner finds, which I would think makes for a more complet deletion.

Developer is very responsive to emails and continues to update this application. Works perfectly under Snow Leopard 10.6.1.  
(Version 3.0)

HOMER1  I'm a long time user of Filemaker Pro (last version installed was 6.0v4) and a two time buyer of Bento. Version 1, and yes, I'm one of those folks that got burnt on the version 2 upgrade! Never again!

Took me a while to find iList. Downloaded the trial, installed it, and have to say, it more than lives up to my expectations. Purchased the full version that very day.

This is a true Mac OS database! Not just a list maker like Bento. If you have any experience with databases you'll fly through setting yours up with iList.

If you're in need of a straight forward, easy to understand, Mac OS user interface database, you owe it to yourself to try iList. I give it the highest recommendation.  
(Version 3.8)

HOMER1  I downloaded this application last night to try it out, had issues with Moneydance not re-locking it's data folder upon an application quit . . and the developer resolved the issue overnight. Now that's service!

I registered immediately. Thank you to the developer for a wonderful program and an incredible response to issues.
