Apple Mac OS X 10.5.1 (Mac OS X)
I got Leopard on day of install and after "amending" the installer to make a 400MHz G4 the minimum Spec I installed with out problems. I did an Upgrade install over OS X 4.10 Tiger and have had zero problems. Not one, which was strange as I was expecting loads of them. All works well, system feels somewhat faster under Leopard than Tiger and after a week I deleted Tiger from my IDE drive (I had backed it up on there just in case I needed to go back to Tiger). I find that Time-Machine works well using the USB2 drive as a back up. The Lacie D2 has been "Clicking" and failing to boot up unless I remove power & fw cable a fw times but that appears to be quite common. Overall a good upgrade System is a Dual 533 G4, Nvidia GeForce6200 GFX, Sonnet Serial ATA with 2 drives in a striped array which I am booting from and 80GB IDE Drive for data, Lacie D2 FW drive and a USB 2 Drive, PCI USB 2 adapter fitted.

BluePhoneElite 2.0 (Mac OS X)
It's not very good, save your cash! 
Despite messages on the support forum, (Where developer scores poorly for support btw), it still does not work. Seems a shame as BPE v1 was pretty damn good. Save your cash, time and sanity by avoiding this like you would someone with the plague! If you do install it expect crashes when you try to add a phone, (a phone which works with sallingclicker BTW). Even after deleting all prefs and application it still does not work. The weird things is that the Betas worked better than the finished article. Until this is fixed it's as good as an ashtray on a motorbike! [alert admin]

SERIAL NOW WORKING!!! BPE NOT WORKING THOUGH 8-(
If you are having trouble with upgraded serial for BPE, its because the download link is for a BETA version.... Go to Developers website and follow download link from there. You will then find serial works! However, when I try to add phone I get an error message saying: NSArchiverArchiveInconsistency *** file inconsistency: read 'I', expecting 'L' Please quit now, as the program may have been left in an unusable state. Oh well looks like its back to the drawing board! [alert admin]

Went to website, requested upgrade code, cut and pasted data into requester and guess what, it doesn't work! While I really liked BPE1 BPE2 is rapidly turning into an application that I have little use or regard for. The developer really needs to pull his socks up. [alert admin]

Apple Safari 3.0b (Mac OS X)
Having read the reviews I was expecting to have problems, so I installed it on a spare partition with OSX 10.49 on it. Initially I was somewhat underwhelmed, ok so sites generally load slightly faster, but everything else just seems the same as the previous Safari. I have used Omniweb for the last couple of months and have enjoyed it, I find it faster than Safari ad generally more compatible, for those sites that Omniweb wont let me use I switch to Firefox. Good news is: Works much as before, slightly faster and no real problems installing or running it, from the comments previously posted it would appear that any Safari "Hacks" need to be removed prior to installation. However on a normal users Mac, this should install fine. No Crashes or "undocumented features" as of yet. Bad News is: Nothing looks or feels any different. It replaces previous Safari, (I thought it might install as additional Safari so you could compare them side by side). System tested on Mac OS X V10.49 Dual 533 MHz G4 Tower 768 MB RAM ATi Radeon 8500 GFX Sonnet Serial ATA card Mac OS X v10.49 12 "Powerbook 1.33 GHz 512 MB RAM [alert admin]

RapidWeaver 3.6.1 (Mac OS X)
Like the others on here, I am VERY disappointed that the developer chooses to charge for a point release! If this was version 4.0 it might be worth upgrading, but not for a point release! I won't be supporting this developer anymore as I feel that those of us who actually pay the shareware fees and support them deserve some support in return. Where's our thanks for struggling through the early releases. It seems that greed gets them all in the end, when will they learn that a good reputation is worth more than a few dollars and that once lost, you wont be able to easily recover it, contrast this attitude with the rather excellent Salling Clicker. Shame as RW was shaping up to be a decent application. [alert admin]

RapidWeaver Business Pro Theme 1.0 (Mac OS X)
Great product not only does the download link they send you not work but the support page is 404'd on their website http://www.benchdesign.com/support/contact.php 24 hours after paying for this product I still cant get it and am unable to contact seller. Really really disillusioned, so much so that I have now opened a dispute with paypal as I want my cash back. my advice is to save yours and only order if you can guarantee that you will actually get the software and actually can contact the developer.

I agree that it is not immediately easy to use but it has a very shallow learning curve and once you do "get it", its a very powerful tool and makes multiple listings very easy indeed. The program also "grows" as your abilities grow and is definitely worth spending the few hours required. As a test I asked my computer illiterate wife, (she can browse web and email but never tried anything other than that),…

So the company has not had any income apart from new registrations for 3 years, you could say the same for Ford Motor Company, "they have not had any income apart from new car sales". The FACT is we were the people who originally supported RW, who put up with various "undocumented features" and basically bug tested it and suggested new features and it is obvious that if we had all thought, "Hmm I will…

Junk, easily fooled by forged headers, reports to wrong places.
While I understand your concerns, since I posted the feedback on version tracker the amount of spam has increased drastically. (My Spam count was 7000 spam emails in the 18 months up to June 2006, since then it has increased to 13,000 in October 2006). However i do receive a small amount of emails in response to SpamX reports, so at least a few Zombies are being taken down.
