SUNBURN This is totally ludicrous. These clowns want $100 a year for upgrades to piece of software that STILL sucks even after years of upgrades. This is PC software with a bad UI and mediocre functionality. I'm done with what is essentially an annual subscription.
Right now, for HALF the price of the _upgrade_, I can get a bundle which includes Bookends. Even if Bookends also sucks (I haven't tried it yet, but I'm about to buy it anyway), there is virtually no way that EndNote X2 is twice as good as Bookends.
Of course, there is no way in heaven or hell that anyone from the developer will ever see this. ISI is a lumbering hulk to whom "customer service" means nothing unless you are a huge on-line library or publisher. (Version X2)
SUNBURN I've been happily using Shimo for a while, though I only connect to VPN about once a month. It's a nice program and all, but $20 seems incredibly steep for a program whose main feature (for me) is just launching my VPN connection in a few less keystrokes. I would certainly pay $5 for it, but $20? Too steep for me. (Version 2.0)
You get some more eye-candy, yes. But, scrolling with the scroll wheel is now broken for journal entries, and it will no longer send entries to my blog, all I get is a dialog which says "there was an unknown error." Gee, thanks.
And they want money for this?
I think it's time to switch to MarsEdit. (Version 5.0.1)
JAMES STAFFORD That's a good name, I already renamed it Bass Line but I like Arpegg, thank you for the reccomendation! :)
Also, whilst I was changing the name, I improved the interface a little bit; you don't have to go through menus to enter in notes. Quite handy if you prefer entering by mouse :P (Version 1.0)
SUNBURN I couldn't agree more with this. I paid for a license which said nothing about it ever expiring, and now I can't apply BUG FIXES without paying for a new license. Ludicrous. (Version 5.1.2)
ANONYMOUS And the reason I'd want to pay $10 for this when I can do the same thing for free with a cron job (yes, with a free GUI, too, CronniX) would be what, exactly? (Version 1.0.1)
ANONYMOUS This is fantastic. I know it seems like a small thing, but the "find" in Apple's Finder is both slower and less well-featured than this. I used to do this in the Terminal, but this is a very well-done GUI which allows me to easily reveal in the Finder, and has a great dock menu.
And it's FREE. Best cost:benefit ratio ever. (Version 0.7.3)
