ROBERTS2424  PhoneWord is on the surface kind of mindless. Yes, then, after you type in phone numbers you realize that it tries to be creative and come up with words associated with the numbers themselves. Your number could be (area code) 772-5464 which would translate into (area code) spam king. If you've got the right number you can probably help people remember it since they often remember words better than a string of numbers. Fun and free.  
(Version 1.5.2)

ROBERTS2424  yes, the sliders aren't there because it's installing the old version. same thing happens when you download this from their website, too.  
(Version 2.0)

ROBERTS2424  A business associate and I have been having trouble with the Shrook Export command - OPML. We've been exporting one RSS feed and then wanting to import it into Shrook on another machine. Same Shrook version being used on both computers. The file will export but it can't import due to a "unrecognizable/corrupt" message. You can't import the list into any other RSS reader such as Vienna either. The developer has been contacted on several occasions and has never responded. It's proven to be a frustrating experience. As a result, our division has sadly dumped Shrook in favor of Vienna. We're having to rebuild the RSS list which will take a while, too.

ROBERTS2424  In previous versions this program has never lived up to its promise. Who can even believe it's still around? Do yourself a favor and look at other options including WordPress. It will be far less painful.  
(Version 2.0rc2)

ROBERTS2424  Growl was uninstalled from our computers because it considerably slowed down the machines.  
(Version 0.7.6)

ROBERTS2424  With the new version the following message keeps reappearing: "Not enough memory available for code buffer." When you select "OK" the program crashes every time. Therefore SIteCleaner 1.0.5 can't be used for any purpose.  
(Version 1.0.5)

ROBERTS2424  The developer of this product has failed to respond concerning this product. Not only does Qumana not work on my machine neither does the developer. Sadly, it's a stay away product.  
(Version 3.0)

ROBERTS2424  Having tried to use this all it does it hang during the startup process. It is installed on a G4 running 10.4.8.  
(Version 3.0)

ROBERTS2424  Gizmo Project, VOIP software...downloadable from Macupdate...has a built-in record function. Quality is better than Skype in personal testing.  
(Version 1.0.5)

ROBERTS2424  iCal2Web is not bad at all. It takes a little modification through the settings.txt file in order to make everything work together. Admittedly, it could have been made a little simpler but it works and well worth the fee.  
(Version 2.7)

ROBERTS2424  NewsFIre does have a nice interface. However, it is lacking in functionality. Shrook and Vienna, for example, of which I have no association, at least provide three columns of information making it as easy to absorb information as reading a daily newspaper with fewer clicks. In the end it's the ease of obtaining information and not so much an app's looks. Possibly in a future release this will be addressed. That said, I will keep checking back on the progress of NewsFire.  
(Version 1.4v66)

ROBERTS2424  No matter how much I use Skype I always go back to Gizmo Project--not affiliated in any way with Gizmo. Skype has too many security issues and doesn't follow "standards." That said, I respect the momentum the company has generated but find other solutions appealing.  
(Version 1.5.0.51)

ROBERTS2424  Eudora has been a staple since it's inception. But, the developers have really been close minded when it comes to upgrades and especially interface development. I'm still going to use it. But, my patience is wearing thin and I have begun to look at different options.   
(Version 6.2.4b5)

ROBERTS2424  After having tried them all, dealing with all the good and bad points of each Shrook has remained the favorite. Vienna has run a close second. Now, that Shrook is freeware it stands to truly claim its throne. I don't proclaim that Shrook is perfect...but, it's better.  
(Version 2.5)

ROBERTS2424  The other comments are right on the mark. This company has always based pricing upon the size of their egos.  
(Version 2.0)

ROBERTS2424  The first thing I noticed about Sandvox is that some of the design elements diappeared after a while. They were just gone! I went back deleted the app and the prefs along with any sites that I had created. Then, reinstalled everything. The design elements were complete for a while and then once again were no longer there. As a result of becoming so frustrated I deleted everything once more and gave up.
