LEFTNOTRACKS  I haven't tried CS4, but I was successful trimming CS2 and CS3 applications. The main difficulty is that almost any change to the contents of an application's folder can make Adobe's terrible Updater application fail to update. I don't think I've ever seen a successful Illustrator update except immediately after installation.

Perhaps in ten or twenty years Adobe will learn to make software that behaves.

LEFTNOTRACKS  Why do DVDs only list file sizes? Isn't there a less useful piece of information that could be displayed instead?

Absolute Backgammon
Jul 6 2008

LEFTNOTRACKS  Bugs in current version:

A legal gammon was recorded as a single game win with all pieces in inner table, but none borne off. Perhaps the game's rules for what constitutes a gammon are incorrect.

Still can't double beyond 64. There's no excuse for that short-sighted omission.

Despite these, it still plays the most challenging game for any computer opponent. Thumbs still way up there.

GAMMONSOFT  Do you have the Jacoby rule selected? If you have it selected, and the cube was never passed/doubled during the game, a gammon or a backgammon is only a single game win.

LEFTNOTRACKS  Three cryptic error messages, then the program quits immediately. Oh, one other thing it does: completely mess up music and video on the iPod, requiring a restore.

AppDelete

LEFTNOTRACKS  When I try to use the program I keep getting this message:

"Sorry but you must choose

an item that is supported!"

So it's totally useless to me.

REGGIE ASHWORTH  Hello leftnotracks,

I'm sorry for this problem you are experiencing. You are receiving this error because whatever it is you're trying to delete is not an app, pref pane, widget, or plugin. These are the only 4 types of items that AppDelete will work on. If you would contact me through my site directly and share more specific info then I can be of further help. Just click on the More Information link above. I hope to hear from you soon...thanks! :-)

Sincerely,

Reggie

Adobe Lightroom 3 Beta

LEFTNOTRACKS  If the first difference we see is a lame "LR" icon to replace the beautiful contact sheet from the Beta's icon, then I can't expect much from the final version.

I though Adobe made graphics programs. I guess they just don't use them.

LEFTNOTRACKS  This program has never worked for me. Every version has crashed and quit whenever I try to upload a file. I wish it worked, but it doesn't.

Absolute Backgammon
Aug 3 2006

LEFTNOTRACKS  This program crashes. A lot. Seems that picking up a second piece is causing a freeze. That, plus the 3/4 of the games that can't finish, plus the tendency to cancel a game just as the tide is turning in my favour, make this one of the most fustrating Mc programs I've ever used.

Please fix the crashing and provide a briefe grace period in which all games can be finished. Oh, and get the cube working properly, too.

LEFTNOTRACKS  I think this is an excellent backgammon game. It knows the ruls better than most (exceptions follow) nad plays a pretty mean game. It's also very clever about the cube, able to exaluate the players' positions. It doubles when it's advantage is enough, but not too much, and accepts or declines appropriately as well.

But there are still (years after complaints) two prblems with the cube. There is no limit to the cube's value. In backgammon, one can legally double far beond 64. This limit in a computer game, which is not bound by the six sides of a physical cube, is a baffling violation of the rules of the game.

Also missing from the cube is a way to double when locked into the bar. It's not always a stupid move, and either way it's an arbitrary violation once again. Players locked onto the bar may legally double their opponents.

I do hope there is an upgrade on the way which addresses these two oversights. Then it will be just about perfect.
