FinancesOSX 1.0 (Mac OS X)
Works great, does what it says. 
Most of the time when I want to do calculations, I want to do a few basic things. This program does nearly all of them, and it is free. Well done. [alert admin]

FinancesOSX 1.0 (Mac OS X)
content type is not set correctly, how to fix
If you try to download this, you will get a screen full of text, instead of the appropriate file. If you save the text, and rename it .sitx instead of .txt, then everything will work fine. The developer needs to fix the content-type on his web server for this file. Couldn't find a contact addres for him. [alert admin]

Snail Mail 0.6.1 (Mac OS X)
Can't live without it, problem with page setup
I don't know if this is related to a MacOS X update I just applied (now running 10.3.8), but I'm now having trouble getting Snail Mail to remember the Page Setup. I used to be able to print envelopes without having to go into page setup. Snail Mail would remember my printer, page size, and orientation. Now, I have to do a page setup everytime I run the program, and it says "Format for Any Printer, Paper size OTHER, and Orientation is portrait". If I set the right settings everything works, but next time I run Snail Mail it gets reset to these defaults. Any idea what is going on? Or did Apple break something? [alert admin]

Fill-inDocs 2.1 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)
Not an app to "convert any doc to PDF fillable & savable" 
This is not an application at all. [alert admin]

Saft 7.1.5 (Mac OS X)
Saft is listed as freeware. Yet, when I try to install it, it asks whether I want to install a demo or purchase. This doesn't sound like freeware to me. [alert admin]

Not getting better. Scan to File does not work.
Every couple of months, I check in to see if there is a new update for the Epson Perfection 1660 Photo that I bought last year. Nope. Nothing. Still doesn't support the features I want, or expected with this scanner. This time I noticed that the Scan to File download is there. I installed it, and it can not see my scanner. When I bought the scanner, I figured the lack of features in the drivers would be short-lived. Ha! Nothing out of Epson since last November. I knew I should have bought that Canon scanner that I was eyeing at the time. I just replaced my Epson printer with a Canon, and can't believe the commitment that Canon has to MacOS X drivers and software. Epson's lack of response makes it clear that not only do they not care about the MacOS X market, but they probably don't even have anyone reading this. [alert admin]

iDress 1.3.2 (Mac OS X)
I have been using SnailMail (free!) to print envelopes for a while now. It works great, it is fast, and does most of what I want. The one feature it wsa missing was the ability to easily create a letter to go in the envelope. iDress sounded like it could do this ("easily create stationery"). <p> Unfortunately, I never got beyond the license agreement that comes up when you try to mount the disk image. The description says this is shareware, yet the license agreement says: <p> "You may not: <br>• copy the Documentation, <br>• copy the Software except to make archival or backup copies as provided above," <p> In what way is that shareware???? Get with the program, guys. Shareware means that you want us to share it with other people, try it, and if we like it, we send you money to register it. What you have here is called COMMERCIAL SOFTWARE with a free demo. <p> Also, when that license agreement pops up, it says that you are hereby granting me a license to use the software. Which is it? Doesn't anybody read these things their lawyers write for them? <p> Change the description to Commercial, and I'll be glad to come back and rate your software more appropriately. Or fix your license agreement so that this truly is shareware, and I'll be even happier. [alert admin]

Amazing Slow Downer X 2.5.7 (Mac OS X)
The Amazing Slow Downer Dictaphone...
I have a tape of a lecture from the early 1970s that I am transcribing for a book. Since nobody had an old analog dictaphone handy, I just digitized it using Amadeus II, and now I have a QuickKeys macro that pauses and starts Amazing Slow Downer. It is not as convenient as using a foot pedal to start/stop/change speed, but it works well enough. Now, if only I could get used to deciphering a Scottish brogue played at about 25% of normal speed... I am getting some "Can't read file errors" after frequent stops/starts and rewinds, but I'll check with Roni Music on that. [alert admin]

ChimeX 1.3.1 (Mac OS X)
A very nice app, but it is missing one feature from the old classic TeaTime app that I can't live without: the ability to specify my own sound file! I remember the fine old days in 1996, putting the teabag into the hot water in the afternoon, only to forget it completely, until Patrick Stewart reminded me. Of course, I also have ChimeX set to play a tibetan mindfulness bell every 30 minutes, so you know the kind of person I am... [alert admin]

I have the same problem running 10.2.6 and iPhoto 2.0 on a Powerbook G4. Nothing happens when I click the Photos button. Workaround: I can just drag photos from iPhoto into iBlog and it works fine. Haven't figured out how to do thumbnails yet, though, using iBlog. The integration is sort of useless without that. I'm hoping I just haven't found the feature yet.
