SOHO Organizer 8.06 (Mac OS X)
I've had a support ticket open for 3 weeks now. There was a brief initial response telling me to try 8.02. When I opened a new ticket about my poor experience with the 8.02 it was promptly closed with no explanation. Meanwhile, I'm appending logs and examples of broken syncing and features not working to my initial ticket and I'm receiving absolutely no response. In short, the product is very poor quality, as is typical for Chronos lately. Some changes to contacts don't sync, keywords go missing, console is full of errors, documentation is incorrect (and not corrected even when the errors are pointed out) and support is simply a joke. I'm by no means new to Chronos. Been using their products for years and can say without hesitation they've been getting worse for years. I miss those days when their Personal Organizer actually worked and was well supported. The company is just out to grab money with overpriced non-working upgrades now. What a shame. If you value your data, you'll stay away. [alert admin]

PTHPasteboard PRO 4.4.1 (Mac OS X)
Release not new; Excellent program. 
4.4.1 was released a couple of months ago. VT is way behind, as is frequently the case. I've tried, and even own, most of the clipboard managers around. PTH Pro is the one I use. It's flexible enough that I can set the UI the way I want it and the Pro features, while not necessary, are quite helpful to me. It's reliable and has a low footprint. [alert admin]

CosmoPod 3.0 (Mac OS X)
In spite of version number change there does not seem to be an upgrade fee to go to this version. A very worth update and works fine with Safari 4 as well. [alert admin]

Microsoft Expression Media 2.0.2096.0 (Mac OS X)
VT is way behind, as is often the case. This update was released on 24-Feb-2009. And here's the KB article on it if anyone would like to read more about the update: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/962902/ [alert admin]

Recover PDF Password 2.0.0.75 (Mac OS X)
While it appears to do as it says, it's absurdly slow. Sure, brute-force attacks take time, but this product only uses a single core. So doesn't matter if you have 2 CPUs, 8 cores or whatever -- it chugs along using only one, and then further wastes resources by continually updating a useless progress indicator letting you know the last random password that was tried. As you can imagine, that's a lot of window updating. And I do mean slow: I used a 9 character password with 1 special character and it's been running for nearly 2 days and is only at 7 character passwords. Still has to complete 7 characters (probably about 1.5 days till that), then start 8 characters and finally, 9. I estimate about 9 days total. [alert admin]

VersionTracker Pro 4.5.1 (Mac OS X)
Software no longer works and hasn't for months. "Support" doesn't answer. [alert admin]

SOHO Organizer 7.0 (Mac OS X)
Definitely better than earlier releases, except for Personal Organizer, of course. It's considerably faster too. Maybe they got it right this time, but needs more exploration to say that definitively. [alert admin]

VersionTracker Pro 4.5.1 (Mac OS X)
I don't even know where to start. When clicking on an app to show info about it the VTPro just hangs, never showing the info and usually not even showing the path to the app on my own machine. And the 4.5.x version never contacts the server to update what I have on my machine. Then, last time I ran this it gave me screen after screen of the same app, and kept adding it more and more times. I really don't understand what's going on. This USED to work way back then... why did VT people mess around with it and make it progressively worse with each release? [alert admin]

Mac Pilot 2.5.2 (Mac OS X)
VT seems like they don't like to include "what's new" lately. Anyhow, according to Koingo's website: New Feature: Ability to change the global tooltip delay. Bug Fix: Fixed a couple more issues with the new registration engine. Bug Fix: Now properly sets the initial font from the field when setting the Font in the System panel. [alert admin]

Careful: Install and Relaunch Failure
Yeah, it locks up, though it's not CPU, but RAM: looks like it's trying to grab all the available memory. I had a vsize of nearly 30Gb and it was using over 9Gb real memory. Sure didn't leave much for anything else.

Yes, it appears to be. Was registered before upgrade and still says version 4 is registered.

I crash regularly. Sent a crash log, got an acknowledgment, followed shortly by a "we don't know but will investigate" and then I never heard back again. The current build is quite old, not universal and seems stagnant. I'd hardly call this good support.

I sync fine with dotmac. If Chronos told you it doesn't work due to some fault of Apple, I wish they would tell us under which circumstances that happens Again, it works great for me, but Chronos is not at all forthcoming about problems with their products.

Well, if you have a serious drive problem to begin with, then what do you have to lose to try to fix it with a beta product? You're hosed already! And if you have a good backup and work with utilities for al iving, getting to know a product in beta puts you that much further ahead.

Go to http://www.bitpim.org if you can't get VT's link to work. Though it works for me.
