Jumpcut	Aug 13 2008	MNTBIGHKER I was a PTH guy (free mode) until recently. I started to suspect it was really slowing down my boot times. Jumpcut rose like cream to the top of the recently rev'd clipboard apps I found here. I am on the same page as the developer (unlike his wife) and Jumpcut works pretty much the way I want it to. Simple and Mac like with transparency and some nice effects but at the core non-intrusive. PTH is probably functionally better but it has become bloated. I would rather compromise with the simple nature of Jumpcut. Thanks (Version 0.62)		0

GeekTool	Jun 25 2008	MNTBIGHKER If you run most of the time on Leopard as non-admin neither Geektool or MKconsole can show you /var/log/system.log because of lack of permissions. Somehow Console.app manages to in "Log Database Queries" but NOT directly. Is any of this registering with anyone? I am torn between thinking you should not have routine access to system.log as a regular user, but I also need to see it, so for convenience I would like to solve this. (Version 2.1.2)		0

Shimo	May 12 2008	MNTBIGHKER As an alternative front end to our Cisco VPN client it is no way worth $20 for a little less screen clutter. We will be removing it from our Tiger build unless the EULA allows us to keep using the 1.x version. --Sorry (Version 2.0)		0

Microsoft Office 2004	Mar 13 2008	MNTBIGHKER Autoupdate no worky on every 11.4.0 equipped Mac we try it on. It probably fails period? (Version 11.4.1)		0

1Password	Jan 31 2008	MNTBIGHKER Author promised that "Wallet" item passwords would honor the option to display the field hidden by the end of last year. 2 or 3 minor revisions later there is still no way to hide them. (Version 2.5.10)		0

DTEARE Sorry about the tardiness on our part.

I am an optimist and always assume the best. We have been really busy with the Christmas selling season, Macworld Expo, and many rotating vacations.

I had thought this was a quick fix and something we could get done despite the above items, but sadly it turned out to be a much more involved fix.

I can say that this is a high priority of ours, but with that said Roustem and I are finally taking some time off to recuperate from the break-neck speed of updates we've been having. Hopefully soon after we return.

Cheers!

safeThis	Mar 11 2007	MNTBIGHKER What is needed more than anything is a truly cross platform AES-128 (FIPS compliant) free encryption tool that can live on a thumb drive. JFileCrypt is about as close as I have seen so far. (Version 1.5)		0

Thoth

ROGERTJACKSON ... and that is a real shame. Thoth was (and still is) a great program, positioned perfectly between MT-NewsWatcher and Hogwasher. It's no surprise that the issue revolves around money; my guess is he'd need a considerable amount to port it to Intel Macs. The likely reality is that like Usenet itself, the need for Usenet readers is declining.
