WeatherPop Advance 2.6.1 (Mac OS X)
I got it to work in Leopard.. but it takes forever to launch. You can't use the menu bar widget, you have to have the application in your menu bar. The Pop Doppler image hasn't updated in seven months. Yeah, they said "it works for us and we are too busy too support such a trivial thing, blah blah" I guess they forgot that they charged people money. Including me. Oh well...time to move on. The Dashboard widget works better anyway, and WeatherPop is still working on my machine, but I'm going to try Meteorologist and see how that is. [alert admin]

Microsoft Office 2008 12.1.1 (Mac OS X)
I downloaded the update instead of using the auto update. Took about two minutes to complete the update. [alert admin]

Digidesign Pro Tools 7.4.2 (Mac OS X)
No more booting into Tiger! This was a free upgrade for me, and I bought 7.3.1. So far my experience is DigiDesign is a first rate company to do business with. Cubase is my main DAW, but I also use ProTools and Logic. Each has its own place, and depending on who I'm working with, I have to have the right tools. Lately I'm using ProTools more and more. Now I just have to wait for some of the plugins. [alert admin]

Logitech Control Center 2.6.0 (Mac OS X)
I want to like this software... I tried it with my MX700, and the features are nice. But the scroll wheel action is very annoying, so I went back to USB Overdrive. It puts a very exaggerated acceleration to the wheel, so you either get very little scrolling when you want to click line by line, and then it makes a big jump. I just want the scroll wheel to work in a linear fashion. [alert admin]

Apple Safari 3.1.1 (Mac OS X)
Nice and fast (and works with every Java site I could find) [alert admin]

Apple QuickTime 7.4.5 (Mac OS X)
Installed the update on a G4 running 10.5.2, a Mac Pro running 10.4.11 and a G5 running 10.4.11. So far everything works as it did before the update. [alert admin]

ICeCoffEE 1.5b1 (Mac OS X)
Glad to have this back! And also FruitMenu and WindowShade X... but that's another review. Leopard has an open URL contex menu, but it's just not the same. [alert admin]

Suitcase Fusion 12.1.7 (Mac OS X)
This update came out in November... mine's been at 12.1.7 since then. I used the built in updater. [alert admin]

Flip4Mac WMV 2.1.3.10 (Mac OS X)
I'm also running 2.1.3.10, which I had installed back in October. Using the update check on the preference pane tells me I have the latest version. Anyone know if something is different with this 2.1.3.10? [alert admin]

Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11 (Mac OS X)
I was complaining today about how this 7 year old DigitalAudio G4 with 1GHz upgrade card, and a gig of ram was getting sluggish. "Must be about time for a new Mac" I said to my wife, hoping she would agree.... Well this fixed that! Really though, it feels like it did about a year ago when I first did the Tiger install... The new Safari is faster too. I was getting tired of the beta. (thinking out loud) I wonder how Leopard will run on this machine? ;) [alert admin]

There will never be a 10.4.12. What's wrong with Leopard?

They had to ditch VBA for the time being. The code was too old and couldn't be compiled to the Intel hardware. Read the head programers own words. http://www.schwieb.com/blog/2006/08/08/saying-goodbye-to-visual-basic/ Personally I don't use VBA. The rest of Office, which I use on a daily basis works great.

USB Overdrive works perfectly with my MX700 in every application, and with every button. LCC worked fine, but I don't care for the way it handles the scroll wheel, nor did my wife and son, so I switched back to USBO.

Word is just fine on the Mac. I don't use macros myself, but it is some consolation to know that MS is also discontinuing VBA on the Windows version as well. Pages is nice, but I either find myself using Word for word processing, or Quark or Indesign for page layout work. My wife who is finishing up her second Masters degree HAS to use Word... they won't accept documents done in Pages. So don't be so hasty…

Yeah, and all those apps run fine in java 5 on OS X. Most people don't need 6 and wouldn't know the difference. James Gosling the inventor of Java prefers OS X. He's said it's the best platform for running Java. Apple will get it updated for everyone else. They just updated 5. They take their time with these things.

Burn your disk at a slower speed. I have no problems 99% of the time with Toast, but occasionally depending on the disks I'm using, I have to burn at a slower speed than maximum. This is for DVD's, I've had zero problems with DC-R.

How is it more convenient to have moved or renamed it? Sure, complain to Apple... they will tell you don't move or rename things. having to dig through folders to get to an app is not convenient. If you really need it in some kind of organized folder setup, just make an alias of it and put that in your folder. Personally I have it in my Dock, so I never go searching through the Applications folder. For everything…

iPhoto 08 is not a free download. It's part of iLife. You either get it with a new mac or buy it. You must have downloaded some fake program from P2P that's doing all this crazy stuff.

Two things bone head. Leopard is way faster than Tiger... even on my circa 2000 PowerMac G4 Digital Audio with 1 GHz processor upgrade. Secondly, the Mac Pro's smoke the G5's. Freescale/IBM dropped the ball with the PPC. Sad but true. Oh, and one more thing.. try to get new software to run on your G4/Tiger in two years. Let's not feed the trolls. Oh back to the topic. I like MS Office just fine.

I out my most often used apps in my Dock, but I don't want too many in that, so the rest goes into a DragThing Dock with 8 tabs which sits off the right side of my screen. When I need it I hover over there and it opens. I have 8 categories of apps. I also use LaunchBar and Fruitmenu as launchers. LaunchBar is great, but for apps with similar names it's…
