iData 3.0.3 (Mac OS X)
I suppose we'd all like our favourite apps to be free, but we also really like the huge amounts of time the devs spend on them. iData is so stable and well-designed: both those qualities are worth both time and money to us users. I haven't used iData with wireless, but I do use it continually, and have done so for years now, on both PPC and Intel platforms, in combination with a wide variety of different software, and in many different situations, for different tasks. It's extremely reliable and easy to use. It has the features I need. I'm definitely getting my money's worth, and a whole lot more. I recommend iData highly. There aren't many data-collection/organization tasks you encounter where it wouldn't be a huge help. It's free-form data field anticipated the media-clipping organize-your-bits-and-pieces apps. by years. It's a program I wouldn't be without: in the rare situations where I've meddled with startup and iData isn't already open when I switch to it, it's like finding the fridge empty. Can't do without my iData. ;) [alert admin]

LinCVS is a much more efficient and comfortable way to manage your CVS repositories. Visualize the state of your files all at once, without having to pick through each one in the terminal.

It may be fine on earlier Palm OS, but it crashed my new Tungsten T3, giving a "Fatal Exception" error, immediately after hotsync. Soft resets only gave the same error <wince>, so I had to do a hard reset, which is no joy, even if you do have a good backup (thank God for Hotsync). I noticed another review on Freeware Palm, where someone said this dictionary had crashed his T3, but I had hoped it was due to some software clash with his programs. Since my T3 is new and has very little software as yet, it doesn't look like a clash, unless it is a clash with Palm OS 5 (5.2.1 in my case) or the Tungsten T3 itself in some way. If anyone _is_ running this dictionary successfully on a Tungsten T3, or on another PDA running Palm OS 5, please post a review, as I'm sure that would be good news for the developer. As it is, I am not at all happy with having had to hard reset (and completely restore) my T3, and will be avoiding this software like poison, regardless of how much I need a Vietnamese dictionary. (I have others, but there is no such thing as too many dictionaries. :) ) from Clytie [alert admin]

Shared Menus Enhancer 1.2.2 (Mac OS X)
I had some problem today, between MenusExtraEnhancer and OmniWeb, crashing OW horribly and continuously, and in the debug process I uninstalled APE, because I'd just installed the update today. Being without SharedMenusEnhancer was a real jolt! No URL Manager Pro and Web Confidential always there! I couldn't re-install it fast enough. I'm pretty keen on my input menu and one or two other things I need in that menubar, but I'd trade them all for SMM if I had to. from Clytie [alert admin]

Aion 1.4 (Mac OS X)
Just what I was looking for... ![]()

I've been looking for a lean, unobtrusive, free time-zones utility, and this fits the bill. The icon in the menu bar provides for people with other utilities – Prefs Menu, URL Manager Pro and Web Confidential especially, although the last two use Shared Menus Enhancer, which Sharksoft might like to consider, since it saves menu bar space. It's great to be able to edit the names of locations, putting in one's friends' names, for example, and the date/time and 24hr/am.pm options are handy. You can choose several timezones, drag them into chosen position in your list, and the list of available timezones is comprehensive. All in all, this is well worth having. Tak. It's my only word of Polish, but I'll say it: Tak. Yes. I want this. :) from Clytie [alert admin]

PrefsMenu 1.2.4 (Mac OS X)
Saves me so much messing around ![]()

PrefsMenu is a must. We may not think we need to access our System Prefs often, but in fact we do it more than we think. For anyone who uses a custom preference pane, such as Déjà Vu, this utility is indispensable, and I found it indispensable way before I started with Déjà Vu (top backup utility). You really would prefer not to do without PrefsMenu. Amazingly, it's free! As they say, the best things in life... from Clytie [alert admin]

jNotes 1.2 (Mac OS X)
Lean, mean and more than a note app.! ![]()

JNotes is always there when you need it, and never when you don't. It records, it saves automatically, it displays style and URLs and images, and it TABS. I can't believe that so many apps. still don't tab! JNotes saves me so many windows all over the place, and I only have to back up that one folder in /Library/Application Support. It beats all the sticky apps hands down, and it's the quickest full-featured app. I've seen. I can't imagine being without it, now. You will feel the same. :) from Clytie [alert admin]

Deja Vu 2.6.3 (Mac OS X)
I wish, oh, how I wish I'd had Déjà Vu before I lost my hdd... TechTool Deluxe killed my iBook, but I thought I'd be OK, because I'd backed up, by dragging and dropping, all my essential files. A few files, by Murphy's law the ones I couldn't afford to lose, had disappeared from the backup directory on my home server! Trying to backup by intermittent drag and drop, trying to remember when and what – I should have got Déjà Vu ages ago... It's a preferences pane, and thus easily configured and even accessible from the menubar if you use Prefs Menu (a great little utility, stable as a rock: http://www.codeservant.com/). The interface is intuitive, pleasant and comfortable, and most of all, very effective. Back up anything to anywhere, it's all so easy, and you can stop worrying about it yourself. Déjà Vu will do the work for you. I love it! No disaster to my computer will catch me unprepared again. How about you? [alert admin]

Pacifist 1.6.3 (Mac OS X)
I am surprised Pacifist isn't a default member of everybody's toolkit: believe me, you need this app.! Now we have to deal with BSD packages (.pkg files), some of them huge, it can be a frustrating process trying to work out where particular programs are, or how to install them without overwriting everything else. Pacifist is the answer! It reads any package, then allows you to search for what you want, listing the resulting files in a handy drawer on one side. You click on a file you want, and it extracts it and installs it for you! Fantastic! And really good value. The best insurance you can have, apart from having a Mac in the first place, is your extended warranty, and if you have been smart enough to get those two, don't miss out on Pacifist. You'll be missing out on a lot more choices, and some sanity-saving moments when things go abruptly wrong. My iBook was humming along happily, when trying to fix a small problem resulted in TechTool Deluxe trashing my drive. I had to zero the drive and reinstall from scratch, adding in my backed up files. Pacifist filled any gaps for me, and made it possible for me to get back to my comfortable, individual config. with much less time wasted. Pacifist is a must: don't leave this one for later, because later may well be a minute too late. Grab it now. [alert admin]
