Type: ReviewDate: 19 Jul 2008 07:40This is excellent. Far better than the very poor Huawei programme supplied by my ISP which demands an Administrator password every time one makes a connection.

Type: CommentsDate: 19 May 2008 10:15A promising idea - but the interface is far from intuitive and for me the Help did not work so I was unable to design anything! There seems to be no instructional material on the developer's site either.

Type: TroubleshootingDate: 6 Apr 2008 09:36It is fast. But there is an annoying bug if you by mistake try to connect to the computer you are running the programme on - it seems to go into an unstoppable loop whereby it shows multiple copies of that machine's screen.

Type: ReviewDate: 2 Nov 2007 10:14With the new (1.5) version Papers steps into a class of its own for bibliographic management for biomedical researchers. There is really nothing else quite like it. It tightly integrates literature searching, pdf file down-loading, and pdf file display and organisation without the need for any other programme i.e. no web browser or pdf file viewer is needed. It abounds with thoughtful details - some are practical others, e.g. the superb splash screen, aesthetic. Papers ranks as one of the all-time-best Mac programmes.

Type: ReviewDate: 3 Sep 2007 14:22Having earlier drawn attention to a problem I was experiencing whereby Books 3.1 was hanging on Quit, I can now report that I solved this by letting Onyx carry out its full suite of maintenance procedures on my MacBook. I don't know what it was that was critical but anyway Books 3.1 now functions perfectly for me. I must say that during the troubleshooting procedure I went through I had exemplary email support from the developer. Indeed I felt guilty that the problem turned out to be at my end rather than inherent in his programme. So I can now gladly rate Books 3.1 with 5 stars, both for the actual programme features and for the support available if one has a problem.

Type: CommentsDate: 1 Sep 2007 13:26Sunrise Browser is good - but needs to have some way to import Bookmarks from Safari or other browsers.
What is weird is the URL for the 'Sunrise Browser Forum'. This seems to take one to a sex site!!

Type: CommentsDate: 25 Aug 2007 07:12I am experiencing a consistent failure to Quit with the new version 3.1. I have had to Force quit Books every time. This problem did not occur with Books 3.1rc6. I hope this is soon fixed as this is an excellent programme

Type: ReviewDate: 18 Mar 2007 07:02Papers, even at this beta stage, is an excellent application. It combines within one programme the ability to organise references stored as PDF files; to read them (full-screen possible); and to search PubMed and import reference details. This tight integration makes for an efficient tool which I would regards as essential for all biomedical scientists who like to store reprints as PDF files. Although still not fully complete it is worth 4 stars at this stage; and when the planned additions for the final release are in place it will be a 5-star programme in my view

Type: CommentsDate: 1 Mar 2007 14:17There is no doubt that there is a server overload problem. Several helpful people have set up unofficial servers for the download and I used one of these today without problem (see threads on http://forum.parallels.com)

Type: CommentsDate: 1 Mar 2007 08:42This ridiculous. I have been trying for two days to download the latest version and like many others find that the download stalls after 12-15 MB. What is the problem? Is it the server?

Type: CommentsDate: 29 Dec 2006 06:35"No Logitech Device Found" message for my V100 optical mouse on both my MacBook and my iBook with LCC 2.1.1 or 2.1.2. Curiously on both computers LCC 2.0.0 worked fine with the same mouse! Don't they test these new versions?

Type: ReviewDate: 13 Dec 2006 14:35This is an excellent game. I particularly like the challenges which require you to complete various driving tests within a certain time, and thereby gain access to further cars to race. The graphics are smooth and realistic and control of the cars requires a good deal of skill.

Type: ReviewDate: 8 Nov 2006 08:31This is a truly excellent application. I have been using it recently to print out some lead sheets with melody, chords and lyrics and it produces superb results. There is undoubtedly an initial effort required to get to grips with the syntax. It is a little like writing a computer programme in that one has to be completely accurate. But the time spent learning how to use Lilypond is amply repaid by the results. And the sheer extent of the complex nature of the scores it is possible to engrave is quite outstanding. That the programme is also free is amazing.

Type: CommentsDate: 31 Mar 2006 04:03Yes, 1.2.2 is now there. I guess there was a gap between removing 1.2.1 and putting up 1.2.2
