NULLSET This is one of those rare applications that actually *is* more useful than it first appears. It has quickly become my "memory manager" ... everything goes in here, from frequently used commands, to code snippets, to registrations and vacation receipts. Couldn't live without it. Now if I could get a way to sync libraries between computers or access my library from a web interface ... :) (Version 2.0.2) | |

NULLSET HAUSLENDALE, it looks as though original KIT notes are themselves bundles. In the Finder right click on a KIT note and click "Show Package Contents". Here you will see that a KIT note actually contains some sort of P-List file and a folder called NoteText. Open this NoteText folder and you should see a TXT.rtf file that contains your original note. You can open this file with TextEdit and get at your original info. (Version 2.0) | |

Opera | Dec 18 2006 |
NULLSET I know that Opera's user interface can be a little confusing to a new user, but let's face it, Opera also packs a lot more punch into a very small package ... it's got an RSS reader, an email client, BitTorrent support, window sessions, widgets, not to mention user interface customization options that other browsers only dream of (for starters, I can shrink or grow user interface buttons to between 40% and 200% of their original size). Most basic features are right on the surface, and *are* easy to use, but I've got to admit, some features -- like customizing the user interface -- are a bit harder to work than most Mac applications and are probably more difficult than they should be. Is this a bad thing? Maybe if you spend all your time tweaking your user interface ... myself, I'd rather use Opera to get things done, and in that area Opera is spectacular. I can have literally a hundred different tabs open in Opera and it still remains stable and responsive. I personally tweak my UI settings once, but I use tabs every single day ... I'm glad that the developers chose to focus on getting tabs right instead. Opera has never been an app for those expecting training wheels. Like TextMate, BBEdit, and Firefox (with its myriad extensions), power has a cost, and that cost is a certain amount of complexity. I have yet to run across any browser that is both powerful and non-complex. But I personally feel that the Opera devs have done a good job balancing both. (Version 9.10) | |

NULLSET Terrific piece of software. I used to use iBiz, but this has it beat hands down. Not only that, but the developer is *great*. After a recent update I was having a problem with the new version. I emailed the developer on a Sunday night and he got back in touch with me within an hour. I didn't expect that kind of response time at all! Within an hour he had figured out the problem, and within a few hours he had a new build up. Great response, great software. (Version 1.54) | |

SIXNON I too use iBiz as I find Ibank to be great for my needs, but iBiz is a bit of a hack for my job as Craniosacral THerapist. How do you find iRatchet better than Ibiz? (Version 1.65b2) | |

NULLSET Of the dozens (hundreds?) of color picking utilities for the Mac, this is my favorite. Clean, simple, easy to use, and it gives CMYK values ... what more could you want? (Version 1.3.1) | |

NULLSET I'm not often impressed with vector editing software, but **WOW** this is a pretty solid effort. It's feature set holds up pretty well when compared with Illustrator (an app that has been around much, much longer). If you have any experience at all with Illustrator, you'll likely be up and running in no time. There are a few things that are missing however, that I hope the developer will address in the future: 1. No way to determine the order of the stroke and the fill. Currently the stroke always comes on top of the fill. 2. I can't seem to find any way to precisely position elements on screen (that is, to my knowledge there is no way to position a rectangle at precisely 6.125 inches. 3. Can't set the document to be ruled in pixels. All in all, I think that this is a great start to what may (hopefully) become the cocoa based Illustrator killer I've been waiting for. While it's not yet ready to replace Illustrator at work, for most things Inform's feature set is powerful enough, and it's interface is a joy to use. (Version 1.0) | |
