ISLANDMACMAN This sweet little app has allowed me so much freedom in the office. It's small, portable, fast and works so well! Great work!

Apple iPhone OS | Oct 9 2009 |
ISLANDMACMAN I have two iPhones - the first upgraded without incident. The second was totally bricked - it took 3+ hours to finally get everything in order. Stuff happens, I guess. More importantly, when is Apple going to fix email so that I don't have to click-click-click-click to switch from one account to another? Tabs would work well here - I getting tired of the current situation, my fingers hurt. When is Apple going to allow Bluetooth syncing? When is Apple going to allow video recording on all iPhone models - my 7 year old Samsung can do it. Most cheap phones today can do it. There is no excuse.

ISLANDMACMAN I am quite pleased with this upgrade. Everything is faster; a few problems I've had with 3rd party software (Vue 6) have gone away, though a new issue with re-draws have cropped up. The only negative things I see are the disappearance of Directory Access - the over-simplificiation of something like this is not a good thing in the world of Enterprise IT. Also the removal of Appletalk is problematic if you have an Appletalk only printer (though an external print server will solve this problem). I am quite pleased with Snow Leopard so far, perhaps the minor things will get fixed over time.

Redline | Sep 5 2008 |
ISLANDMACMAN I agree with the last post - porting this to iPhone would be a great idea! Perhaps with network play, as well. The desktop version is still a lot of fun to play, though it could use an upgrade with more advanced graphics and better default tracks. The Redline community has been phenomenal in supporting this game - lots of work on custom tracks and cars. All of this updated AND on the iPhone would be amazing.

Microsoft Office 2008 | Jun 25 2008 |
ISLANDMACMAN POS all the way, sorry. That initial scanning for other volumes kills it, + the fact that the Auto-Update doesn't recognize when it is being updated (and needs to be manually quit) kills it for me as well.

BACKPACKER From macrumors: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=505414&page=3 "Somewhere within the Office 2008 12.1.1 Update package is an item named 'updatables' which shows that multi-language versions of Microsoft Office Setup Assistant are sought, in particular the Plugins/SLT.bundle inside it. This bundle was introduced in the SP1 Update (12.1.0) and is not found in the original MSO2008 install. Opening up the Office 2008 SP1 Update (12.1.0) package, and looking inside Packages for Office2008_en_core_12.1.0.combo.pkg, I opened this one up with Pacifist to look for the Microsoft Office Setup Assistant updater/installer. Inside, we find the SLT.bundle in its multi-language state. When this is extracted with Pacifist onto the hard-drive somewhere (desktop will do), it can then replace the one embedded in your existing Office 2008 SP1 installation. (Like many, I had also removed all language localizations and, in so doing, changed the SLT.bundle inside Microsoft Office Setup Assistant) After doing the above, and after a couple of goes (no Safe-boot or logging-out required), the Office 2008 12.1.1 Update went fine, and the 12.1.1 apps work."

ISLANDMACMAN Install was fast on an Intel iMac (2gbs ram), and running Word is faster than 2004. But what bugs me are these daemons: Microsoft AU and Microsoft Database I opted to not autoupdate, and didn't install Entourage, yet these large footprinted beasts are running. Killing them in terminal seems to solve the problem, and Word/Excel works fine without them.

Vue Esprit | Nov 15 2007 |
ISLANDMACMAN I change my review to ZERO stars. Support for this pos is abysmal - there is NO MAC SUPPORT, and the support people are condescending at best. After testing on a variety of Macs (Xeons, G5s, iMac G5s and Intels) - this program fails across the board. 1) some crashes are permanent. erasing a system and reinstalling the OS (and of course Vue) does little. I've exhausted a supply of Xeons doing this and only one seems to render. 2) the program is ridiculously slow; not just rendering, but the interface and redraws are hideous (even after adjusting the video options in the pregerence pane) 3) memory management is pathetic: the program will make calls to in-use memory blocks, then claim out of memory, then crash. 8gbs of ram isn't enough?

Dock Size | Oct 28 2007 |
MR. GECKO Paste this code in applescript script editor set numberbig to text returned of (display dialog "How big do you want the dock to be." default answer "16.000000") do shell script "defaults write com.apple.dock largesize -float " & numberbig & "&&killall Dock" display dialog "Size changed" and save it as a application. if you do that than it should work. it is probably not working because i have a ppc mac and you have intel.

Vue Esprit | Oct 23 2007 |
ISLANDMACMAN The newer versions are much more stable, though still a bit unMaclike at times. The results are stunning. Support completely stinks - weeks pass before getting the most idiotic responses - stuff like - did you reboot? - ugh. But the results are amazing, if you can suffer through the flaws. Oh, expect to be nickle and dimed with Esprit. (You want to control trees, $xx, oh, you want to batch render with other systems - $xx, you want to control EcoSystems - $xx.)

ISLANDMACMAN The price can't be beat, but to be picky: I want the ability to disable the pre-set auto-loading layers (that didn't auto-load in previous versions) This is rude and annoying - I'm glad I backed up my previous version.

Mac OS X Daylight Saving Time Software Fix | Mar 6 2007 |
WOODEN BRAIN CONCEPTS the problem is more than just automation -- not letting the system know about daylight savings times rules could mess up all sorts of internal system functions as well as iCal, etc. there is a lot to read on this issue if you google for DST bug.

Meeting Maker | Feb 8 2007 |
ISLANDMACMAN Meeting Maker works well, generally speaking. A web client is also available and works with Safari. Problems are generally restricted to printing - which was not an issue in older versions. Occasional truncation of text, and no options to control width or size of printed text. Aside from this, it's a good addition to your office. There are also server and admin apps for Mac.

ISLANDMACMAN After installing DasBoot with Disk Warrior onto a 2gb USB2 flash drive, my MacBookPro booted... and booted, and booted for almost 40 mins until I gave up and had to hard boot back to my system. Not sure if the flash drive's 180mb of free space is an issue, but I wish it would've worked. :(

SUBROSASOFT You may want to verify that the flash drive is not only USB 2.0 but USB 2.0 High-Speed. Flash drives labeled just USB 2.0 or USB 2.0 Full-Speed are only slightly faster then USB 1.1. I can't even imagine how long it would take to boot from USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 Full Speed.

ISLANDMACMAN It's a shame that this is PPC; at least there's dual processor support. The video demo looks pretty good - rendering seems to be a bit better than previous versions though still not even close to Maya. For $99 you can't beat it. PS the DAZ website is very slow and the screenshots don't appear. :(

Adobe After Effects CS4 | Nov 13 2006 |
ISLANDMACMAN This is a difficult to master program and not the kind you can jump in and learn in 2 minutes, so tough. Read some online tutorials, buy a book... Even with some of the interface changes, it's still a great app. It's gotten faster than 6.5, and openGL works better.
