STEVE4656  I saw the consistently glowing reviews here for Launchbar so I decide to try it. All that happens is grey bar on the screen, with drop down menus. So what? What does it actually do that is so great?  
(Version 5.0rc3)

STEVE4656  This programme is OK if you stick with the included templates, but woe betide you if you decide to modify a template or, even more stupidly, decide to create your own.

Small things such as fields that do not snap to a grid and uncontrollable line weights and field borders, to the arcane method of creating and modifying tables make this software an extremely effective method of wasting enormous amounts of time.

What about the built in 'Help' you may ask. Indeed what about it, 'unhelpful' is the most polite adjective that springs to mind, made worse with generous use of vague, unexplained jargon.

Stomps off into the distance spitting feathers.........

STEVE4656  I have tried a number of programmes to move iPod song to a mac and have been frustrated by complicated or vague instructions or, things just not working as promised. I tried this programme and it is perfect for me, simple to use, efficient and effective. Best of all, the contents of both the iPod and iTunes appear within the same overall window, and individual songs and/or playlists can be simply dragged from the iPod to the iTunes section of the window.  
(Version 3.9.1)

STEVE4656  The instructions in "Senuti help" are tricky to understand right away and need several readings because of the use of double negatives.

Simple back-ups of songs from and iPod to a mac works fine, but it will not transfer songs directly into iTunes.

The "Senuti help" suggests songs can be transferred into iTunes by drag-and-drop of individual songs or, playlists. I wish it were so, absolutely nothing happened for me.

After hours of trial and error, I can only recommend this software if you need to make a simple back-up of songs on an iPod. Do not expect to transfer songs straight into iTunes.

STEVE4656  This would be a great idea, if it worked. The widget installed OK, but nothing happens when a file is dragged over the widget - what am I missing here?

(Version 1.0)

STEVE4656  Downloaded OK.Seemed to install OK, but on launching got an error message about missing files. no apparent fix. Waste of time.   
(Version 2.1.3)

STEVE4656  Since my previous negative experiences, I have tried again. The VM installation process will only recognise XP and Vista, although the drop down menus show W2000 it is not possible to select.

I have a perfectly working W2000 in Virtual PC, and have also tried the Parallels Tansporter programme. It does recognise the VirtualPC installation of W2000, but always aborts the process.

I have tried a previous installation of Parallels, which has been activated. This new version is supposedly an 'upgrade'. When the upgrade is completed, I am told to activate it. Having to buy a second activation key adds insult to injury.

I remain steadfastly unimpressed with Parallels, and do not understand the preponderance of positive comments on this this site.  
(Version 2.5.3036)

STEVE4656  It is confusing that the opening Parallels window appears to show a Windows environment already installed.

On trying to instal both Windows 2000 and XP, I experience a system freeze and have to restart.

I am surprised it is as buggy as this for me, in the face of so many positive reviews here.

May try again, but not soon.  
(Version 2.2.1970)

STEVE4656  Seemed to install OK on a Macbook C2D with 2gig of ram. After installing windows software, which CrossOver recognised OK, the software was nowhere to be found.....

So, no use to me at the moment.  
(Version 6.0b3a)

STEVE4656  bizarre behaviour in Tiger, not possible to delete all items from the Pasteboard, multiple copies of items end up in the Pasteboard window, seems to paste items at random, confusing preference pane; must be me as the consensus here is very positive  
(Version 4.0b3)

STEVE4656  I can see from the reviews that this software is well-liked. So, as a CarbonCopyCloner user I thought I would give SuperDuper a try to compare it. While CCC makes a clone in less than an hour to copy my system to an external hard drive, SuperDuper took over 3 and half hours.

It may work, be stable, be easy to use etc and therefore get high marks using this grading system, but it is very slooooooooow.  
(Version 2.1.3)

STEVE4656  looks good, make clips OK, but the clips all have the same size as the source   
(Version 2.1.2)

STEVE  I have had reasonably good, if slow, results with earlier versions of mlmac. This latest version appears to be a step backwards. For a day or so it seemed better and then, over a few hours, deteriorated to uselessness. It started to use enormous amounts of memory and cpu, and downloads reduced to a mere trickle, while upload speeds actually increased!! My pbook fans came on and ran constanly even at download speeds of less than 2kb and upload speeds of around 5kb. In addition, the response of mlmac features, and the Finder, became laggy. 'Frustrating' is the politest word that comes to mind. Luckily, xDonkey was able of take over the downloads.   
(Version 0.7.5)

STEVE K  I was hoping to improve on Panther faxing, but just cannot get Page Sender to work. Faxes stay "on hold" and never get sent no matter how I check and re-check the settings. Uninstalling leaves files behind that seem to intefere with other fax programmes, so do a manual search if you ever decide to ditch it. Not a happy experience, at least Panther faxing worked albeit crudely.
