TRAHE  Well the rating is bad, bcs i would recommend anyone to stik with the old 3.1.2 version, even so it has no video function, stability and most of all the ACF function works.

To explain:

ACF = All CAlls Free, which means the buddies on your list may become ACF members, and then you are able to call landline/or even mobile phone of those for free.

The new version seems to get nuts on this feature, it marks almost everyone as active ACF (curiously some are marked inanctive ACF (so i can use this plan in the old version).

Which means in fact :

The new version shows peoples number like you are able to call for free, but EVERY CALL you do is charged! Even the ones previously used to be free!

This is a big step backwards most annoyingly cannot rely anymore on the ACF Status.

Even so it might make your acount settings confused!

So if you like the ACF plan of Gizmo you better do not touch this Version !

PRO : Well it has no video and like always Computer to Computer is free anyway

CONTRA : Using it for mobile / landline you never know , if you are charged or not (well most of the times you are charged)

HOLGER TRAHE  Well the software does waht it claims to do and doing so it does it quite easily.

I admit for non german speakers it might be not very usefull to read the "Benutzerhandbuch", but really we use a Mac so who does read Manuals.

Well maybe i undestimate the value of reading the buttons, but the iconographics and even more the pretty same words german/english, should make the software usable even for those people, who will never learn another langauge than english.

C'Mon it is freeware, it is an academic project, you guys have nothing more to do than to complain about the language ? it is not chinese and there is babelfish for years out LOL.

HOLGER TRAHE  Perl Dev Kit is a great tool for doing cross.platform Applications, though you will need to install on every single Platform andbuild on them,

the integrated PPM Package Manager, makes installing and maintaing Modules a snap, but well the PPM packages are quite less compared to the complete CPAN, anyway this helps a lot to keep an eye on dependencies and make sure the App will work in (special) Windows, too.

I rather like the debugging in Komodo IDE

I miss some kind of simple GUI IDE, but well this is merely the point of Perl ..., since there are many, and very OS dependant GUIs
