CornerChaos 1.3.4 (Mac OS X)
I like this game, but find it takes longer that I want it to when I take a break from what I'm doing. A nice quick game can be played by choosing Easy and then playing until the first brown ball appears. At that point I quit and let my score stand. [alert admin]

Scenario 1.03 (Mac OS X)
Great Product, Hope it will continue. 
I purchased this neat little pref pane shortly after it was introduced and use it very reliably to run a number of my scripts. One set I particularly like turn on/off a bunch of ancillary sockets on a PowerKey Pro 650 (a USB controlled powerbar -- www.sophisticated.com) when my machine wakes/sleeps). Even though it's aging a bit, it still runs nicely under OS X 10.5.5. [alert admin]

Idiot's Delight 1.3.1 (Mac OS X)
I don't know what the odds are, but the clue to maintaining sanity playing this game is to start a new game as soon as a stack of a single suit happens (so often that I doubt the odds/randomness of the deal). [alert admin]

EazyDraw 2.4.2 (Mac OS X)
I've been using EazyDraw since January of 2004, and in my view it remains the best app for vector-based drawing in this price range. In early days, there were bugs and the developer always responded promptly to my reports. Though I continue to miss ClarisCAD and ClarisCAD II from years ago, EazyDraw certainly fulfills my requirements. [alert admin]

Billable 1.2 (Mac OS X)
Can be Scripted to handle foreign currency 
Because Billable 1.2 is AppleScriptable, I (a Canadian) bill in US$ by doing the conversions in AppleScript. See: http://macscripter.net during the week of Sept 9, and http://macscripter.net/unscripted/ after Sept 16. Search on Billable. [alert admin]

CornerChaos 1.0.3 (Mac OS X)
Very slow response if you pay!
I tried this and really liked the demo so I paid. Unfortunately, I have not, after two days, received a password to unlock the demo. That wouldn't be too bad except that this game has the most annoying nag I've ever seen -- you can't quit this game when it presents you with its nag page - you have to Force Quit! The only actions it will undertake are the buttons on the nag page, and I've already been there done that. A major nuisance. Hopefully the authors will get their act together soon - if you want to do business, you have to be ready to do it. [alert admin]

Sound for Growl 1.0 (Mac OS X)
I've obviously misunderstood something in "To install it, just double click the Sound.growlView configure the Growl view in the Growl PreferencePane just like any other view, don't use too long sounds" because when I do what I think it says (not the greatest sentence) it asks if I want to open Growl Pref Pane, I said yes, and there is absolutely nothing there to set. There is no "unPlugged" in the Application Pref panel of Growl, and the brief instructions don't say I must have unPlugged - they imply I don't need it. Tiger 10.4.6 [alert admin]

File Buddy 9.0b2 (Mac OS X)
As a long-time and frequent user of File Buddy in most of its versions I downloaded (and paid for v9b). Sorry I paid. I don't like the interface nearly as well as 8, and when I tried to stop a search in mid-stream I had to force quit to get out of the hang. Back to v8 (which I kept), but I've lost the plug-in for contextual menus in the meantime. My advice is to wait til the b goes away, maybe even to 9.1. That's what I'll do now. [alert admin]

Even 2.7.5 crashes for me now when I replace v3 with it.

The problem of not being able to quit in demo mode and at the same time not getting a password is to paste the AppleScript below into your Script Editor, save it on your desktop as an application with no check boxes checked. Double-clicking it will quit CornerChaos for you. do shell script "killall CornerChaos"

Amen. I only restart when I do an update that requires it.

Functionality duplicated by free software
I'm not sure this reviewer understood that NetShred, for example, overwrites the cache contents and then deletes them. Otherwise, any deleted files are recoverable. Files that are overwritten first are not.

Much more agreeable than Safari!
(a REAL good manual would help us to dicover WHY the developers made such efforts to build it, as the workspaces I used far too late!) I wrote a negative comment in TidBits that Adam Engst refuted in nearly every instance, but I assume that while he was testing it the developers were cluing him in. While I was testing it, I couldn't find out how to do things. By version 5 surely a "quickstartmanual" is…

Subsequent research has shown that this was extensively discussed here: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=78561#post922178 Clearly, there can be problems that require a backup before you begin, and equally clearly, the iPartition folks are ready to help if you do have a problem.

You can delete a partition (and essentially add it to the next one but lose everything in it) using the Disk Utility. You don't need iPartition ($35) or VolumeWorks ($59) for that. It's creating one in free space on a populated disk that needs a tool.

Great for writing whether "creative" or not
I might add to this, however, that I've stopped using Ulysses because while in the crunch of a project with a strict timeline, Blue-Tec upgraded Ulysses and the upgrade didn't go well. Because I had to continue, I copied my report to a word processor, and have stayed there. A great product as I said, but a little green yet.
