MACNERD1984  Simple solution: Don't use it, use something else instead. It's free.  
(Version 1.0b19)

MACNERD1984  I'm going to go on about apps that are too expensive again. I may come across as cheap (I'm far from it) but it's not my intention. I just can't justify paying $9.95 for this, and I'm surprised others can too. For what it does, it's a bit pricey.  
(Version 0.9.3)

MACNERD1984  So, apparently not updated since October 2007, $25.00 registration fee, obnoxious crippling of downloads after 1 hour, random disabling of searches and equally obnoxious floating nag window. Not exactly much going for it.... 7,14, 30 Day full featured trial is completely acceptable to me, but this kind of crippleware isn't. At a pretty steep $25, there's nothing compelling me to spend money on this app. Plenty of other BT Clients out there which are cheaper or simply free which are just as good.  
(Version 1.1v53)

MACNERD1984  Wish I'd have read this review before I posted mine just now. I too lost my iMac's HD due to Drive"Genius". The final count was over 2600 Overlapping files on a 1 TB Drive, with about 600GB of data on it. I appreciate that there can be occasions where things go wrong, but there seems to be just too many people having the same issue here. If defragging is why people buy this SW then it should be made as safe as possible. At the worst, the dev should include tools within the program which can repair a disk which has been hosed by DG. Being a bit spiteful, I'm unsympathetic that the guy from Alsoft spent time e-mailing replies when he should have been with his family. I too was supposed to be with my family doing the Christmas thing, but instead I just wasted most of a weekend sorting my Mac out and now I'm back where I started, much lighter in the pocket. Now I have to decide whether to defrag again and risk failure or just continue with things as they are.  
(Version 2.1)

MACNERD1984  Hard to really judge this app. On my MBP it worked flawlessly. Defragged, repaired, did it all and WAY faster than TechTool Pro. Unfortunately when I attempted to use it on my 24" iMac it hosed my HD completely. Thousands of files were left with "overlapping extents" and neither Drive Genius, TTP or DiskWarrior (which I had to buy to try and see if it could rescue my HD) could fix the problems. The entire weekend was taken up with trying to fixz the issues. In the end I had to take my cloned disk image (remember, backing up is always handy, kids), initialise my HD and restore it. Not good. The defrag appeared to go OK, but it was in the repair section that it all went pear shaped. No idea why. After the defrag I ran the verification, just to see everything was fine. It wasn't. Either way, I'm not best pleased with DriveGenius right now. Interface wise, it's pretty cool and I guess if it worked on one Mac but knackered up another I am getting a 50% success rate, but that's not exactly anything to crow about. The repair section also seems to be nothing more than a mirror of the Apple Disk Utility - Bit cheeky, that. Oh, and Disk Utility couldn't fix the overlapping extent files either....

So, DriveGenius has cost me not only the price of the SW, but also another $99.00 for DiskWarrior, which ended up not working anyway. That's a bit rubbish really so I can't endorse this app at this time. I should add that I realise that the use of any disk utility carries with it the possibility of failure. Why, I'm unsure, since I'd imagine that's the whole point of them - To prevent data loss, but there you go. Us mere mortals clearly expect far too much. DG Makes this clear before you defrag so you go in with eyes open.

Proceed with caution...

PS. I rated it high on value since I got it with the MU Bundle. If I had paid full price I'd be giving it a 1.  
(Version 2.1)

MACNERD1984  I'm not a prolific user of torrents - Far too much hassle for me compared with Newsgroups, but clearly there are advantages to torrents. I've struggled to find a torrent app I really like and have used Transmission for a while now, which is OK. I found uTorrent to be hopeless. Every time I click on a torrent I am downloading the app quits for no apparent reason. In Interface wise it's nothing special - Looks a little like Acquisition, which also does torrents but has done them quite badly in my limited experience. I'm not sure what all the fuss is about with uTorrent. Straight in the bin until it becomes stable enough to try.  
(Version 0.9b)

MACNERD1984  Just wanted to add, you can extract data (Images etc.) from your Riven install using Riveal, which is available on MU. Might be handy for grabbing those amazing scenes...  
(Version 1.1)

MACNERD1984  Sadly, I have to agree. The Dev is clearly very into Riven (me too) so maybe these wallpapers were more personal for him, but they come across as pretty unimaginative. A simple Google search will yield some nice Riven wallpapers that I would say certainly bring it all back a lot more than these do. Definitely could be improved.  
(Version 1.1)

MACNERD1984  Not bad, but pretty unstable for me. At various times it quits on me mid slideshow - Very embarrassing. Large libraries tend to take ages to load and sort, as does saving changes to them. Have seen 1 update in the time I've had the app, which isn't really acceptable given it's cost.  
(Version 7.1)

MACNERD1984  Works great, but the constantly flipping ad at the top is thoroughly obnoxious. A feature to sleep the Mac in question would be nice too, as would a clear button in the text entry box for the MAC address. When you first fire the app up there's an address already in there which you have to manually delete.  
(Version 1.0)

MACNERD1984  I tried this under the free promotion, so feel a bit of a sh1t bagging on it, but in all honesty I can't say it's much good. I only need it to run one app - Access 2003. It can't seem to do that. I've spent an hour messing with it, have read through the support forums on the site etc. and still it won't work. Original install of 2003 won't open my mdb file and installing SP2 to it is apparently impossible (yes, I have read the info on how to do it).

By contrast, Parallels just works. I just had to install Windoze and Awffice and I was up and running. I just don't have time to geek about with stuff just to get basic functionality. The whole reason I own a Mac is that it makes difficult or time consuming stuff easy and intuitive. This app goes against that for me. For something like Office to not work, especially an older version that is installed on millions of machines worldwide, is lame. It's not obscure and it's probably the most popular PC App on the planet so how come it won't just run? Installing SP2 was yet another nightmare and after ages spent faffing around the SP2 installer still has to quit due to some error.

I would love this app to work so I can avoid having to have a full Windoze install on my Macs, but it just seems like too much of a pain in the hole to get it up and running, and I've got better stuff to do with my time than waste it tweaking bits of SW.

['m sure there are those out there who have managed to get it to work, and since it's such a great concept then I'm envious of you all, but it's not happening on my machines. Shame.  
(Version 7.1)

MACNERD1984  Utterly pointless review; No help to anyone looking for feedback on how this SW works whatsoever.  
(Version 2.9.3b2)

MACNERD1984  The new LCC appears to prevent AudialHub from working - Nightmare.   
(Version 2.6)

MACNERD1984  I have to agree with many reviews here - Stuffit has had it's chips. For a long time, years in fact, it was pretty much the first thing I installed on any clean/new OS set up. Everything I needed to compress was in .SIT or .SEA format. It was the de facto standard for Mac Newsgroup postings too. These days I don't have it on any of my machines - Zip has taken over and the need to pay out for something which is essentially obsolete (and in many cases can't even get file sizes as small as .ZIP does) is not there. Last time I tried it the decompression was so slow I thought there was a problem. An install on another Mac confirmed that actually it was just the way it was.

Aladdin, the original developers, probably saw this coming and offloaded Stuffit while they could. From what it seems, the new owners aren't exactly smart - Not only are they developing a product which is no longer strictly necessary for most users, but moreso they are also screwing people over on the upgrade. Unhappy users usually end up going elsewhere and there are plenty of open source and free compression/decompression apps out there today which negate the need for this relic.  
(Version 13.0.1)

MACNERD1984  It's an amusing aside, but it's not worth near $10. The Zombies themselves are pretty crude really (think original "Unreal") and the screen grab is pretty fuzzy on even the highest setting. Despite the various settings, there's not really much meaningful variation. You get a minute or two before the saver disappears and you're left with a black registration screen.  
(Version 1.0.1)

MACNERD1984  Only searches in US Cities so anyone who lives elsewhere is up sh1t creek without a paddle. By way of an experiment I tried to input "San Francisco". Nothing - Not in the list. Bizarre. So, a great idea but far too parochial and narrow in it's execution. The web, and Craigslist, exists outside of North America so why is it so hard for the developers to take this into account?  
(Version 1.0b2)

MACNERD1984  I love this app, despite only using one feature - One which Apple have neglected to sort out for years now.... Auto closing of the Download Window. Finally I don't have to have an empty window with no active/useful info in it hanging about on my screen. Glims lets you set it up so that whenever you download a file the window appears and then it disappears again after a user configurable period of inactivity. Perfect. Apple, take note....  
(Version 1.0b9)

MACNERD1984  Not just you mate; Takes ages to load for me too now. Opening a file has suddenly become sluggish. Typical.  
(Version 12.1.3)

MACNERD1984  Unbelievable - A fantastic app, regularly updated and free and you're whining about the updates coming too often?   
(Version .9j)

MACNERD1984  As someone who deals with customer service regularly, I'd say that this is the most unhelpful and moronic way of approaching a company. In case you hadn't figured it out yet, the people (yes, they are human beings) you are dealing with are far less likely to bend over backwards to try to help you if your opening gambit includes calling them Autistic or throwing some other insult out there. Whatever the problem with the SW, acting like a 9 year old won't generally do you a lot of good.  
(Version 5.0.12)

MACNERD1984  Great! Thanks for this. Now if only someone can do the same with damn "Genre" column in the top of the browse window.....  
(Version 1.0)

MACNERD1984  There's no entitlement as far as I am concerned - really. I've always commented on whether I thought it was any good or not. It clearly wasn't "that hard" since the dev has added more categories to the non US stores, and for me it was "half arsed" when I could only search a few categories - I couldn't have very well said that it was "complete". It really is that simple.

FWIW, the Dev has recently updated it and the added categories have now made it a very useful bit of SW for me (and Amazon's bank balance, no doubt). I appreciate the changes that have been made and never, frankly, have a problem paying for something that does the job if I have to so the fact that this is free is welcome.

I'm looking forward to see how this app evolves and would love to see it on iPhone since it is something that would be very handy there. I'd certainly have no problem paying for it if it appeared on the App Store.  
(Version 1.2)

MACNERD1984  As I understand it, your insinuation (Robby.is.on) is that since it's free, I have no complaint. I thought the idea of commenting etc. on MU was that feedback from users helped developers produce better quality apps. MU is full of hundreds of apps, which through comments and reviews have improved vastly - That's good for everyone, surely? If something isn't any good, or is of limited use, it's not changed by whether it is free or not. If this was anything other than free it would simply be even worse value for anyone not living in the US.

The developer could easily fix the issue by bothering to do whatever is necessary to add in the various categories for non-US Amazon sites. If there is a technical reason why this can't be done, then explaining it would at least help. As it is, it just looks half arsed and sloppy, which is a shame.  
(Version 1.2)

MACNERD1984  Well, it's great if you live in America, but if you live elsewhere you're left with a half arsed, piece of SW. Living in the UK I selected the relevant site from the pop-up and immediately all of the available categories to search in diminished from pretty much everything to just 4. No electronics & Photo, no Home & Garden etc.

From what I can see I can add these in manually, but why make the user go through all of that? Isn't this app supposed to save people time? It'd be faster to fire up Safari and just go to Amazon.co.uk than sit there putting all of the categories in.

Please, either make it just US Centric and be done with it or give users from other countries the same level of functionality as that of US users. It can't be THAT hard, surely?  
(Version 1.1)

MACNERD1984  If you have dual monitors (as I do) then Full Screen will only work if you drag your iTunes Window to your main monitor. Very annoying. I can get FS up with no problem once that is done. Hit "h" to bring up the options and then "s" to move between presets.   
(Version 1.46)

MACNERD1984  Fantastic visuals and a really original idea. Most of these things are pretty similar in one way or another but Dr Glitter really does stand out. I usually use DiscoBrick and this has it beat, which is tough since DB is a lot of fun. The price for Dr Glitter is just way too steep though; €15 for an iTunes visualiser is just too much. It's a plug in for iTunes, not a particularly useful app. I am happy to pay what something is worth, but this isn't worth €15 IMHO. The free version does give you some cool stuff anyway though and there appear to be no tedious nagging reminders - Very nice.

On my system the Options item in the menu doesn't appear to work (not sure if it is supposed to, if not it should be dimmed) so I'm unsure as to how to mess with Anti Aliasing etc. in the way you can with WhiteCap etc.

This is ripe for an MU Promo to get the somewhat enthusiastic price down to something a bit more reasonable (around €8).   
(Version 1.46)

MACNERD1984  Hangs on startup for me, requiring a force quit.   
(Version 0.96.2)

MACNERD1984  Good Lord, that's utterly hideous. I tried this, but couldn't get past the revolting look of the thing. With the way that Leopard looks these days, Spectasia just looks like some weird throwback from the past. The author's criminal aesthetic talents are also exposed in the installer screen. It's worth downloading the app simply to see it in it's foul glory. In terms of use, the app really seems no more useful than arranging the items on your desktop in a similar pattern. There is no 3D space through which to navigate and no cool animations, save for a little shadow appearing under each icon as you select it.

I feel bad to have caned this thing so badly, but I really can't find anything endearing to say about it, no matter how I try. It's by far the least useful and most unpleasant looking piece of software I've come across for a very long time. Perversiontracker would be proud!  
(Version 5.2)

MACNERD1984  Nice to see someone has managed to get theming working in Leopard. As a paid up owner of ShapeShifter my blood boils when I think of the slackers over at Unsanity who still haven't managed to get anything going on. They ought to get together with William Bart to work on their releases, then we can all get them some time in the next century. Maybe. Anyway, rant over.

Unfortunately for Kameleon, there are very few themes available at the moment, but if the theming community can start to migrate to this app then we may well see some really strong stuff becoming available and those of us who are using Leopard can finally start personalising our Macs again without having to wait on some flaky developer who doesn't appear bothered about it's customers.  
(Version 1.0.3)

MACNERD1984  I've been using this for ages - Currently I am using 0.8.6i on a 24" iMac, an old G4 iMac and an Intel MacBook Pro. I assume it's a Beta, and if it's not it should be. On all of them it has some good points but since day one it has always been a bit flaky. It often quits for no reason and sometimes requires a force quit. In some movies dragging along the time line to a point doesn't work and you just get dropped back to where you were. The controller is pretty short on functionality too - Apple's DVD player controller has buttons for Menus and navigation whereas VLC's just has the standard transport buttons, plus a couple of others which I rarely use. Whenever I open the app it always opens with the volume at 0% (very annoying). It does open a lot of different files and has some great options, but stability is frankly the main issue for me. In short, I just can't trust it. Perhaps once it is fully finished then these problems will disappear, but until then I can't use it as the only media player on my Macs - It's just not up to scratch. YMMV, of course.  
(Version 0.8.6i)

MACNERD1984  Didn't work for me whenever I tried it (3 times). After trashing it, it got stuck in the trash despite the image being ejected etc. and I had to use Onyx to get rid of it. Oh the irony...  
(Version 1.3)

MACNERD1984  I really like this app, but the main issue for me is the rather slow release of updates. It took an age to get one for Leopard and now Safari 3.1 is causing it problems. I assume the developer is busy with other stuff, but in the end it's just a real nuisance. I'll continue to use it (when the next UD is released) but it would be nice if there was an alternative which worked as well as this does (which there doesn't seem to be).  
(Version 2.8.2)

MACNERD1984  I dunno. It is a good little app, but it's just that. $14.99 is just far too steep for it. I don't have a problem paying what something is worth, but this is simply worth about $5.99.   
(Version 2.1.1)

MACNERD1984  Yep - Crashes on start up on 10.5.2, same as reported elsewhere, so it's a big fat zero for this app.  
(Version 1.7)

MACNERD1984  No OCR - For $99 I'd expect a lot more than this. Forget it.  
(Version 2.4.5)

MACNERD1984  Gah! Apologies - I should have said "horizontal" lines, not vertical.   
(Version 1.0)

MACNERD1984  Well, I guess we see now why Eyephedrine wasn't getting many updates. Hopefully we'll see more visualiser presets being made available soon, since some of them are a bit tired and could be described fairly as "filler". The whole banding/vertical line thing is still an issue in some presets, irrespective of whether the sync is enabled so it would be great if this could be fixed.

I'm enthusiastic about the prospects for the future of this app now - looks like the new guys are taking it in an altogether cooler direction.   
(Version 1.0)

MACNERD1984  Unfortunately I couldn't get it to load under 10.5.1. Just bounced a few times, loaded up a bit of the menu and then got stuck. I'm afraid it's the 1 Star treatment for Cover Stream. Shame, as I liked the sound of it, although possibly not enough to cough $14.95 for it.  
(Version 1.0)

MACNERD1984  A really nice app visually and is well worth the price. Trying to learn Japanese is difficult for me so this really helped me out and you can't argue with the value it offers.

Could use a few small changes here and there just to make it even better than it already is (printing flash cards perhaps, scaleable window), IMHO, which I suggested to the developer as politely as I could - Totally unresponsive (not even a quick or automated reply) which kind of sucks, but there you go. Not an unusual situation with a lot of developers these days....  
(Version 1.5)

MACNERD1984  Doesn't work for me either. Trashed it, looked elsewhere. Single monitor set up - MacBook Pro.  
(Version 1.0)

MACNERD1984  I'm a terrible disorganised person. My head's a mess and my life is too. I envy those who manage to retain a sense of order because not once in 34 years have I managed it. So, I downloaded this app assuming it would be another one of those things which I use for a couple of days and then leave. I've tried hundreds of to do list style apps, organisers etc. Honestly, it may well still be that, but I don't think so. At first, I thought it looked a bit spartan, and the prefs revealed a pane with just 3options, but then I realised how clever this thing really is. For me, it's power lies in it's simplity. It's all there, laid out easily in an anderstandable and instantly viewable way. It might look a bit Fisher Price to users of some of the more "sophisticated" GTD apps, but then they probably need more than this app provides. I'm going to buy it and hopefully I'll still be using in a month's time! The only thing I would like to see is some control over font sizing and colours. If you're looking for an innovative yet simple way to manage day to day tasks, I think this might well hit the spot. Great stuff.  
(Version 1.0b2)

MACNERD1984  $49.95? That is obscenely expensive. While it is clear that plenty of work is needed to create something like this, it's simply too much money.

I'm not overly sure if the app really is that useful anyway. The whole idea of playing a guitar is to enjoy it - With this app you'll suddenly be spending ages entering info about your playing, most of which would be better spent sitting there practicing or jamming with your mates. Do you really need a pretty page with a picture of your guitar in it? How much of this info are you really going to use?

At $9.95 or maybe $14.95 it would be something which might come in handy for a number of players (shredders mostly, I would assume) but at a cent shy of $50.00 it's just unreasonable.  
(Version 1.1)

MACNERD1984  What an interesting and helpful little doodad. Does exactly what it says on the tin - Easy to use, nice clean interface, simple to understand and with the option to specify search paths for applications. I can see exactly which apps my MacBook Pro is running natively and which it's having to use Rosetta to run. I love software like this. It's free too - Can't ask for more than that.  
(Version 1.0)

MACNERD1984  Woooo! Trippy. Not sure how long my eyes can deal with it (I am currently suffering from a heavy concussion) but it's strangely addicive. No more messing with pesky black shapeshifter themes that don't work - Just invoke the magical Nocturne and away I go. Oh Lord - I think I need a doctor! Nurse?  
(Version 1.0)

MACNERD1984  It's nice that Google are finally starting to bring this to the Mac but personally Spoltlight seems to do whatever I need. I realise that it does not index some files that others need it to so I am sure Google works for them though. I found the Google search window to be un-necessarily huge and cumbersome, while Spotlight lives quietly an unobtrusively in my menu bar. You can add Google to your menu bar but it has no search field there - It's just a menu based short cut to opening the app.

Google Desktop's original intention was for Winblows users who were justifiably unwilling to suffer that OS' embarassingly bad search, so there was a real improvement to be had. With OS X it seems the gap is considerably slimmer. Either way though, I take the arrival of Google Desktop to be a very positive thing for the Mac and hopefully it will make Windows switchers feel a little more comfortable and make it easier for them to get used to our OS.  
(Version 1.0.0.155)

MACNERD1984  I really like this. Some of the visualisations are a little weak, but they are balanced out by some real killer stuff. Dancing Fountains is one of my faves but it's difficult to choose.

One of the features I would love to see is to be able to have a selectable colour background, or even just default to plain black when you choose not to use the artwork as a background since the weird purple/blue crystal like image which is set as a default BG is really not that great.

As yet, I haven't been able to get the "alternate picture path" feature to work - Not sure why. That would be nice if I could get it happening.

More frequent updates with new visualisations would be nice and some kind of kit for you to make your own using a simple interface (if that's possible) would definitely encourage people to get involved and create interesting visualisations. The better the FX, the more people will buy it and the better the products can get. Even if this is not an option, it would be nice to be able to control a number of variables and parameters in the visualisations since on some the intensity of the track can lead to a lack of dynamics.

These little points aside, I think this is by far the best iTunes visulaiser out there today, even besting the now rather tired looking White Cap and G-Force, which is no mean feat. Well worth the money - I'd encourage you to pay for it, not use a pirated serial as it's deserving of your support. $8 is nothing for a great piece of SW like this.

Well done to Giofx!  
(Version 2.65)

MACNERD1984  Well, your little whine is moot now anyway. The window in the latest versions can be closed altogether without using any functionality. World poverty, innocent people dying in wars, children living on the streets and you're all fired up about an app on your expensive computer takes up a few too many pixels. Get a life. Really.  
(Version 1.1.8)

MACNERD1984  Tried this, M$ Access not supported. Pretty ridiculous that it doesn't support all Office components. Laughably they suggest that if your chosen app is not supported then you should give them some money int he hope that maybe it will be. Put the pipe down boys....

Seriously though, I love the idea but the last time I checked it just wasn't all that together (probably about 6 weeks ago). Hopefully it will improve and be able to run Access some time soon. Seems odd that such a high profile app and part of Office is not supported.

Thankfully the Coherence mode of Parallels is starting to improve for me with every build so won't be needing CrossOver at the moment. I have to confess to being thoroughly impressed with Parrallels.  
(Version 6.0.1)

MACNERD1984  Quits whenever I try and generate/render anything. Tried a few times and still the same.  
(Version 1.0)

MACNERD1984  Unfortunately, OmniWeb has always had some reason that I can't use it. In this case it's that sidebar. In an age when so many apps compete for screen space it's just ridiculous to take such a huge chunk of it when tabbed browsing work so well. If, as someone said, you can't figure out what is in the tab by the name on it then you probably shouldn't be using a computer at all.

By all means, keep the carbuncle on the side as an option, but give us tabbed browsing too so we can choose which we prefer. With Safari et al being free and having this feature, why would anyone want to actually pay for something that lags so far behind and takes up more space?  
(Version 5.5.4 beta 1)

MACNERD1984  I can't get it to work. I've sat at countless places where it should be "eavesdropping" and I get nothing. Messing with the config seems to have no effect. Obviously others have got it to work or they wouldn't have posted positive reviews, so I must be doing SOMETHING wrong, but after an hour or so of meddling I fail to see what......  
(Version 0.5a4)

MACNERD1984  Can't get it to work - Just get a repeated error - "Unknown object '  
(Version 0.80)

MACNERD1984  Same as everyone else - There's a problem with the "notavailable.mov" file. Opening it in the package reveals that it is there and works but for some reason the app can't use it.

You'd think that the developer might actually take a moment to to test this before posting it but I guess that was too much trouble. OK, so it's just a little fun app but it's almost worse when something so blindingly simple doesn't even work.

Don't give up your day job mate...  
(Version 0.2b)

MACNERD1984  What a great application. I was initially a little concerned about the potential for it causing some problems and did not relish re-installing my OS and all of my apps, but I gave it a go. It sat there for quite a while dilligently scouring various folders for numerous un-necessary language resources and erased them. When it was done I'd saved 2.5GB of HD space. Very welcome since my Boot Camp partition is getting to be rather large.

I've since recommended this to friends and all have had a flawless experience with it. Given this, and the fact that it is free then I can't come upw ith a reason not to give it a full 5 stars. I'm sure that in some configurations it might have the potential to cause an issue but that's pretty much the same with ANY software.

Excellent  
(Version 1.3.6)

MACNERD1984  Companies who make commercial DVD to iPod convertors must hate this guy, and they deserve to since many of their products are embarassingly bad and/or way too much money. The whole reason I love and use Macs is that they typically make complex tasks totally simple. There's a whole culture amongst the developers of trying to give power to the user without them needing to know too much about what's going on under the hood unless they want to.

I have better things to do than tweak this and mess with that - I just want to get the job done as easy as possible. Handbrake Lite is a perfect example of an app that allows me to do so. You just put your DVD in, select it and hit a button to convert it. Handbrake takes care of the rest. When you're done you just add it to iTunes and then sync your iPod. Fantastic. The results I got were top notch; Totally perfect. There are some extra options if you want to mess with them, but for me I didn't need to. Now AC/DC are rocking Donnington on my 80 Gig wherever I go.

That this software is so good is one thing, that it is free is astonishing. It may not have the sexiest interface I've ever seen but who cares? It just does exactly what it says it does without any fuss.

So, full marks to the developer for an excellent, easy to use product.

MACNERD1984  I've given up with this. I get the SBBOD whenever I try to download any maps or when expanding the size of the initial location window. After a while it just crashes. With the time I spent messing with this thing I could have been out on my bike!

MACNERD1984  Ths is interesting but some very basic and rudimentary apps still don't work with it. Last time I checked, one of these was M$ Access. As part of what must be the most commonly used suite of apps on Windows you'd assume that this would be a priority, but it appears not. I only need to use Winblow$ for Acesss, nothing else, so it obviously doesn't work for me at this time.

Right now I've had good results with parallels on my MacBook Pro and until this app is more polished I haven't really got the time to mess with it. That's not to say I am not looking forward to the day it reaches final, since it's a great solution - Almost perfect in fact. I'm surprised Apple don't just buy this company and integrate the technology into Mac OS X.

MACNERD1984  Yet again over zealous crippling by the developer means that I'll be ignoring this app. Basically, unless you buy it you can't save your cards, so I take the time and trouble to enter the info and then lose it when I quit. Why not just put a nag box or an expiration instead?
