JTHEISS  I could see paying $250 and charging to the client. Until this supports AS3 though, it's not worth $250.

JTHEISS  Ya I just let mine lapse too. Stupid to pay year after year for an iTunes visualizer. Too bad too. I really like WhiteCap and would have bought that too if I knew I didn't have to rebuy it every year.

RealPlayer
Jun 8 2008

JTHEISS  Ya. Stop whining about it and do what the rest of the world did 10 years ago. Move on. Especially in the age of cross-platform flash media players.

Real player sucks. It has always sucked. Get over it.

iVolume
May 19 2008

JTHEISS  I bought iVolume 2 when it came out. It's awesome - just wish we could get away from a DRM world so I can equalize my entire library.

That said...

Charging 2/3 the cost of the full version, a whopping $20, when I supported iVolume 2 and the only thing different is "it's been rewritten" and "it's faster" just pisses me off.

I paid $15 for iVolume 2. Now, I'm asked to pay that again PLUS another $5 for an UPDATE? Go eff yourself.

Return to Dark Castle
Apr 22 2008

JTHEISS  I've played DC and BDC since 1984. It's probably been about 18 years since I've last played it. Was really looking forward to this and $30 is totally reasonable for an electronic download/license.

BUT $30 is NOT reasonable for a one-time install (unless I pay $5 more for the chance to reinstall as long as it's been less than a year). I just recently upgraded my hard drive in my laptop, reinstalled and relicensed everything, but I wouldn't be able to do that with this game?

Give me a real purchasing option and stop treating paying, hardworking (like yourself), software developer supporters like criminals.

$30 for a one-time install is insane.

In the meantime, I guess I could dust off the Fat Mac, install DC on it and play it for a while. Because I can.

JTHEISS  OMG! Joyous day! When I went to Leopard/intel, 3 of my must-have shareware/freeware apps were broken. iCalViewer, iChatter and Viou. iCalViewer was fixed almost immediately, iChatter is unfortunately no longer supported, and now Viou is updated! For all of you that love to have folders with icons that identify what's inside them, Viou cannot be beat. Really simple to set up a default icon scheme and then it's just a matter of right clicking on a folder and selecting what app inside you want to badge that folder with. You can even do multiple folders at once. This is one of the best apps out there, hands down. And it's free!

Civilization IV
Oct 8 2007

JTHEISS  Turn on autosave. That way you just lose the last turn (unless it takes you hours to make one turn).

Looks like there's a memory leak or something. My tiles will start to turn black, that's usually a sign it's about to crash.

SRS iWOW
Sep 27 2007

JTHEISS  OK. iWow! I got iWow with the MacUpdate bundle, but looking at all of these reviews, I'm not even going to install it *or* buy the upgrade. Don't support companies with bad customer support!

Serene Saver Pro

*****

JTHEISS  Just bought it. Videos are absolutely gorgeous loops. Nice to be able to have this playing on just my second screen while I work on my main.

Slightly pricey, but oh so beautiful and relaxing.

I *would* like an option of using a custom image for the non-animated screen instead of an animation still, but that's a minor quibble.

DEFCON Screen Saver

JTHEISS  I don't find the offcenter annoying, although if you're going to do that, maybe introduce a slider int the options for the x position.

This is one sweet screensver.
