It's nice to be getting some love for our 360s on OS X. Everything works well. All I could ask for is stealth check/repair. Thanks for the hard work!

Overall, an excellent program. Does what it's supposed to do.

I do have a few wishes though.

MacPar likes to look at all files in a directory (even if they are not matched by name in the par file). It would be nice to have an option for turning this off.

A built-in SFV checker would be wonderful.

And this is just a little nitpick, but the icons look quite dated. Would be nice to see them refreshed.

I think it's certainly a reasonable idea to juxtapose CB with Pixadex. They're related in function and I find it very handy.

But I don't find the price very reasonable. If it was 20$, I'd feel like for a few dollars more I got a nice bonus.

I can see where people who are disinterested in one program will feel alienated. The Candybar Lite idea is a good one...though I wouldn't hold my breath.

I think Yummy FTP is an overlooked gem. Admittedly, my needs are rather simple when it comes to FTP'ing. I just want something that is fast, reliable and laid out well. Yummy is all of those things.

When I would toss a couple thousand items into other clients, many choked up along the way. A few finished but seemed painfully slow. Yummy was always fast and complete.

Also, Yummy can sort items with Folders on top. I can't stand it any other way. So it was a real relief to have that option.

My only gripe is that the icons and buttons could use a refresh. They look a little dated and could use a better integration with the toolbars.

But overall I'm certainly impressed with Yummy.

Great to use for the most part. It's beautiful and isn't too much of a hog with resources like some other clients.

I really only have 3 issues. 1. No Auto-Reconnect. This is my main gripe. I want to remain connected! 2. No DCC-Chat. 3. Price. Seems a little high for an IRC client, but I'd have no regrets if it fixed my first (and eventually second) issues.

No, Leopard doesn't block outgoing traffic, only incoming. Little Snitch is still very relevant.

I love Xee, it does exactly what it was designed to do and it does it well.

I only have a few small issues.

1. There's no option to turn off sound effects. That delete Sfx becomes terribly annoying if you use it often.

2. It doen't remember window size.

3. It begins to slow down greatly with a lot (600+) of pictures in a single folder.

I just upgraded from 4.7 and 4.8 is certainly more zippy. I'm really pleased. The revised look is very nice as well. The only downside is that I've had it crash on me a couple times already, usually when dragging files around. Other than that, I remain very impressed with Pathfinder.

Well I just got the Icekey and I'm really growing to like the keyboard, but the driver is atrocious.

The only benefit is that you can use the volume and eject keys. I don't know why they don't work out of the box.

After installation everything seemed to work fine for a while. The volume properly adjusted. However, sometimes I'd notice the caps/num lock light's flash briefly. No adverse affects, just bizzare.

The real pain is this:

One day while listening to music (and touching nothing) the volume suddenly maxes out and keeps blipping (that volume change noise, despite having it turned off in the preferences) and it continues to make the noise and show the volume adjustment overlay until I press one of the volume keys. This has happened multiple times since. It's even happned about 3 times while I was sleeping. I come to the computer in the morning to hear "blip blip blip blip" and see the overlay when I turn on the monitor. Who knows how many hours it was doing this.

I should explain I'm running 10.4.10 (current on updates) and I've never had this problem previous to the driver installation and I installed nothing else in quite some time. So after having it with the driver I removed it and everything's been fine since.

Truly, an obnoxious driver that I would recommend avoiding. Just put your volume control on the menu bar. It's not the same but it's better than having to put up with this driver.

I'm been using the trial and have been really impressed. Finder has always driven me bonkers.

I've had my eye on Synk, i'll have to take a closer look now!
