iFreeMem
Oct 24 2009
*****

ZO219  Sorry, guys, this handy little app frees up active memory (using MenuMeters as my gauge) and the result is not to slow things down, but, duh, Safari for example runs faster. I don't care if it's emptying file caches or whatever your various theories are, I am not imagining the app speed increase that results from running iFreeMem.

iDefrag

ZO219  Strange how one person could have so many bad experiences, yet like another reviewer, I've used iDefrag for several years, on multiple Macs, without a single hang or a glitch, and consider it a highly useful utility.

Journler

ZO219  The one thing noone seems to mention is that Journler is a beautiful interface, and the rest are, to coin a phrase, hideous. MacJournal is a workhorse—good looking it is not.

The Hit List
May 5 2009

LEV  If you think it's too expensive that's either because (a) you don't think it's worth it for you or (b) you can't afford it.

If (a) then you don't need it -- the cost/benefit analysis doesn't work out.

If (b, then (i) join the struggle of the oppressed proletariat for world peace, social equality, free software and no nasty spindly insects ever again anywhere (heck, the communist states did really good productivity software back in the day, didn't they?) or (ii) don't buy it; if enough people feel the same, the developers will drop their price or go out of business.

Or there's a third way. Do as I do. Moan about the price, buy it anyway despite neither needing it nor being able to afford it, don't use it, and feel cross and guilty when the phone service cuts me off because I can't afford to pay the phone bill because I've spent my money on apps I don't need and won't use. Works for me. But honestly, "It's too expensive" is hardly a review, is it?

My own opinion of THL? Looks gorgeous, powerful, etc. But I won't buy it. I've tried them all and they don't work, or possibly *I* don't work; whichever, GTD and all the rest of it haven't got me out of my slough of idleness. The only thing that works is someone shouting at me down the phone. And I can get that for free....

So I won't buy it. I really, really won't buy it. Really I won't. This time it's going to be different...

ESPIRIDION  I think that the pricing for applications like this one was influenced by OmniFocus and its $80 price tag.

Then came Things at $50 and THL at $70.

Kinkless, the precursor to OmniFocus, was free. Thinking Rock -by far my favorite GTD application- is free although I gladly donated.

Entourage Daylite, and Contactizer Pro are more expensive but offer much more than Task Management.

But many people are willing to pay these prices. I got it through the MacHeist bundle. I would not have purchased it at the regular (or sale) price.

ZO219  But Micromat has *always* been this way ... uninformative, a bunch of geeky engineers who majorly offput the public, and there has always been much debate as to whether their tools, always overpriced, are worth it.

Let me just add that the product seems more substantial, if you can look past the silly interface,and while it is far, far better to repair you directories and disk with Disk Warrior, if you have concerns beyond that, and can afford this, it is not per se a *bad* tool.

TechTool Pro
Feb 2 2009

YORICK2A  This version is no were near the same as the previous version total change in interface and features. sure some are the same but a whole lot more was added. Data recovery works wonderfully. This program is like two programs into one. Combine Data Rescue and Drive Genious into one program. There is always gonna be a debate on which is better but each program is different. Disk Warrior has one feature and techtool has other features they are not the same program and both were designed to do different things. The main difference is that this comes on a OS X.5.5 bootable DVD which is a must if you are working with newer macs that are not OS X.4.11 compatible. the former version sure would work on the newer macs but do not even try to boot it from the DVD it will not work. but this new version would boot from the DVD. Main reason for the delay was due to apple and the new Macbook and Macbook pros to make sure the product was compatible with them. THis version will install on an pre 900mhz mac G4 but the DVD will not boot on a older G4 which is to be expected. If you are using OS X.4 and a mac slower then 900mhz then use Version 4.6 but newer macs the this version works much faster and nicer. The biggest speed boost is the optimization and surface scan which was dead slow in Version 4. I did email the techs on why the web was not updated. he told me they were working on it and it would be ready for the official release the of product to the retail shelves this past week. Those who did the early pre order or the upgrade preorder (i got mine for $30 back in Nov) would get them first and the retail products would not ship till after MacWorld Exp was finished. If you are unsure wait till the office MacLife or MacWorld review due out in the March issue i think. For Me i tried this on 4 computers all seem to work with this just fine I just would not use the 4.6 Boot DVD on OS x.5 if you are using OS X.5 or newer then i would recommend the new version of techtool if u do not want to spend the money there are other tools out there some free some not - Onyx works fine for general maintance of your computer.

ZO219  You do realize, not everything this or any cache-zapper deletes is meant to be deleted any old time you think of it.

Try MainMenu and delete your browser caches (which you don't even need if you're on broadband.)

This app goes to far in several directions ... and it's $20? Better you should spend your money on something intelligent, maybe Leopard Cache Cleaner (bad name, it does a whole lot more.) (I am not connected to them.)

What do I use? Some of the functions of MainMenu daily, MacPilot, Cocoa Cookies, and I look thru ~/Library/Caches and ~/Library/Logs myself.

Also /Library/Logs - but those caches, leave alone.

MADCOW  Hello,

I want to clarify these points.

There is documentation throughout the software, but it is contained in different sections on the interface rather than in a single menu item. This is so that users can find information on what they are using quickly and easily. The small orange question marks denote the sections of documentation.

There is nothing crippling the software during the trial period; it is fully functional. After the trial period finishes further entries cannot be saved to the database.

Regards,

James

LEV  Hmm... but if a "learning curve" is a function which plots X against Y, where X is effort and Y is return-on-effort, something easy to learn would have a very steep curve -- rapid return for little effort. Conversely a shallow curve would depict small returns for large efforts. We use it in the exact opposite sense, which is fine since we all know what we mean; it's just a bit odd if you happen to catch sight of the expression afresh.

As for AI -- DevonThink is splendid on that score. The only beef I have is that I'd like it to be either a bit less opaque or to have the option of more direct control if I wanted (i.e. Boolean searching, which is promised for v2; on previous showing, that'll be arriving at about the same time as the Rapture but I guess I can wait...)

SafariStand
Jun 3 2008

ZO219  Two words: History Flow ...!

More words: SafariStand is not interfering with 1Password or vice versa, in 10.5.3 ... nor was this happening in 10.5.2.

Try downloading the free app InputManagers, which will set the correct permissions.

Important: SafariStand should be located in /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins. The bundle, only. Loader not needed.

/Library/InputManagers holds the iPasswd bundle (it will install itself there,) and another folder, SIMBL, containing the SIMBL bundle.

This works better than putting SafariStand in your users Input Managers (which shouldn't even exist) and is recommended by the developer.

Still, $20 isn't too bad if it's a worthy upgrade. While it's a big galling to not get the discount I feel I'm entitled to, that's the dev's option.

Still, PTHPasteboard is $25 and does as much or more (or for basic multi-clipboards, it's free -- you only need to pay for text filters), so there's lots of options.

JIMW  While this particular incantation does look like it may have some unique abilities for the free product category, I believe you have a valid point in your earlier comment.

I interpret what you were saying is that there are a multitude of other tools available to basically do the same thing, with many of those having a unique feature or two that the others do not. This creates a situation for users that want these tools to have to sift through a mass of similar applications, and try to figure out which one/ones will best serve the users needs, and once downloaded try to remember which one does what.

So it is not strictly a matter of too many apps doing exactly the same thing - instead it is too many apps having the same core features with slight differences between them. This makes choosing the 'right' one a daunting task, especially for the naive user.

What I feel is needed is for some smart, savvy developer to survey the selections that are available and incorporate all the settings of all of these similar tools into a single, stable, free tool with a decent GUI. That would resolve this issue and have a long term effect of paring down the choices as the others would fall by the wayside.

OLD JEWEL SOFTWARE  Generally speaking, LazyMouse has to update its information whenever you switch apps or whenever a new window appears so that it can know if it needs to snap the cursor.

Version 2.0.2 was a bit more zealous about constantly polling the state of the current application. That's one of the changes in version 2.0.3. When it's doing work, its CPU usage will rise, but when it's not working (when there are no user interface events that it has to worry about), it should use very little CPU.

MisFox
Jul 17 2007
***..

ZO219  I'm a little concerned to see the developer release this as if it were in any way new ... when I see it is exactly the same as years ago in Classic Mac. And the file types and mappings reflect this, as well as the old, old choice of IE 4.5 for browser. How long ago was that?

RCDefaultApp by RixStep is the true file mapper for OS X, and the only reason to use MIsFox is if you have simple enough needs.

The developer's description is not entirely the case ...but I think this version may be a bit more editable.

I'm concerned that noobs and switchers may get confused by all those file types that don't even exist in OS X ... which is, after all, what we're working with.

ZO219  Promising, but I'm not sure of what. You pretty much end up with what seem to be small websites - which isn't bad. But for me, anyway, right now the learning curve isn't worth it .. I'm not sure about these one-app-does-all applications anyway ... and the developer needs to be very clear about his or her English. "Missions"? I don't think so.

Give it a try, and review it here. Seems to work beautifully ... whatever it is.

SteamTRAIN (ST) developer here. When I click through on my web-site NostWare.com to KAGI, the price shows $20 US (not $25), which it's been for over half a year. Are you talking about exchange rates, sales tax, or value-added-tax?

When I run ST under Apple's activity monitor, I get the following:

85 MB Real Memory

251 MB Virtual Memory

62 to 82 % CPU

This is on an iMac G5 1.8 MHz with 512 MB RAM under OSX 10.3.9. Most of ST was developed on an iMac G3 400 MHz where it preferred an 800x600 screen. There should be no Classic code left.

ST is fairly resource intensive as a lot of floating point calculations are made regarding Loco/Train dynamics. Near the end of my ST HELP information, I recommend Thousands-of-Colors -- not Millions -- and to close other running applications. Just my suggestions.

I'm glad to hear that your grandson likes SteamTRAIN. Mine does too!
