IPexten Server Lite 2.2 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)
to Hekal's Post. X10 is a protocol which has no relation with X-10, the Web Popup company. Using X10 doesn't help or sponsor X-10. [alert admin]

MP3 Rage 4.2.1 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)
it obvious? Because he is stating something that was clear to me from the beginning? I never understood why napster and gnutella were ever thought to be appropiate for MP3 Rage. It's not what the program did and it didn't do that very well either. I never used for it (well, yes, once, and fuond it slow and lacking). I was going to answer the same as he did and I OBVIOUSLY don't work for Chaotic. I do find the program great and the best ID3 tag app out there. Better than the Windows ones as well (it is made in RealBasic, IIRC, so Chaotic should just release it for Windows so my friends could use it..:) Bottom line: It does not do sharing anymore nor does it claim to, so it does exactly what it advertises and does it great. I'd take half a star off it just because there are some bugs and I can't search for lyrics from within it but, aside of that, it's a great tool in every mac user's mp3 kit. [alert admin]

VueScan 7.5.6 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)
so much excellent (which it is) but actually a sore-needed solution. VueScan should not be considered expensive if it is the only way you can scan your documents. This is usually the case with MacOSX, whose scanner support is severely crippled. Right now the only way for me to scan in OSX is through VueScan, and since I NEED to scan files then VueScan becomes vital for my job. For that US$ 40 is not much to pay (considering I have to later modify those pictures in programs that cost ten or one hundred times that). If you have Windows or OS9 then it's probably overkill, in which case you shouldn't buy it nor rate it. I disagree with JackInTheGreen and his rating, that's the reason I am trying to offset it with my own (which I hadn't posted and is true to my feelings). If something is overpriced that's the programmer's decision and shouldn't be a factor in the rating. Usability, stability, ability to solve a specific problem. Those are factors that should be involved in a rating. One of the problems of versiontracker's rating system is that it gives voice to EVERYONE, and a lot of those do not distinguish "desired features" with "shortcomings". VueScan does not HAVE to have support for every scanner under the sun, and shouldn't be shunned because it's lack of support of some brands. When it supports Umax USB then rate it according to the way the support is handled, until then hang on that rating and only post an opinion. Same goes for Mustek support. I myself wish that the interface was simpler or allowed for a way of saving a preferences setting and then getting rid of all the tabs and settings and leaving only a button for selecting the setting, a button for previewing and a scan button (and the preview window, obviously). If the program had this I'd be most delighted, but it not having these features is not a reason for me to rate it lower (unless they were advertised and not delivered). I do hope that made some s [alert admin]

BetterHTMLExport 1.2.1 (Mac OS X)
cthumb (a freeware solution based in Perl and ported from linux by me) which is absolutely great for albums on the web. iPhoto is slowly shaping up to be a great tool for handling pictures and posting them and if they implemented scanner support (or interface into vuescan and slice control) as well as autolevels I'd probably start using. My question is twofold: 1.-Would it make sense to port cthumb to macosx as a graphical application? (actually, a front-end) or 2.-would it make more sense to include its features in betterhtmlExport? (this last one would imply Simeon talking with the cthumb guy)?. [alert admin]

InterMapper X 3.6 (Mac OS X)
the development of InterMapper for over four years now and it has always satisfied me. It's a great application made by dedicated people. They usually hear the suggestions of their clients and try to implement the less frivolous ones (I am still waiting for a 3D interface a la "Tin Space"..:). The product is and will always be one of my favorites and has helped me many times justify the purchase of macs against PCs. I also see a lot of the "There are free tools in Unix that do this, this is commercial garbage" and I must say it's a saddening attitude. This is a program that non-techies can use within two minutes. This is a program and allows experts to troubleshoot and monitor huge networks graphically. Heck, it even allows them to make maps for their bosses to understand the topology of the net. Strictly speaking one could duplicate 90% of the funcionality of Intermapper with a bunch of shell scripts and ping, but that doesn't mean IM is not worth its price. I couple InterMapper with Big Brother and MRTG in unix and it's perfect. I would fix a few things, tho'. I would make Intermapper remote part of the main application, served through the web server, I would enable access to the log files either through an ftp server or directly through the web server and/or a better way to manage stats and be able to export them (like listings of machines with selectable fields for exporting), etc... And why not, I'll keep asking for my 3D interface to feel like Max Headroom..:-) [alert admin]

Watson 1.1.1 (Mac OS X)
me of Pointcast. Directed information about what you want when you want it. Add to it the specialized modules and the beautifully apple-compliant interface and you have a winner. I do wish information was not tied so much to the US, but I guess this is not the fault of the developer but of people not making modules for other countries (or settings within modules to select country). All in all a great product which I paid my shareware fee for even if I am outside the states. The recipe and currency exchange modules alone justify it. I would give it five stars if it stored some of the data in cache (letting you know it's offline data with the date), so I could use it when not connected. [alert admin]

InterMapper Remote 1.0b5 (Mac OS X)
idea the software is still limited and Very buggy. I'd include it for free in the unlimited version of Intermapper. I give it three stars for the great idea (although Intermapper has done this since the beginning, giving remote access to the application in one way or another) and wish this was a loadable Java Applet existing in Intermapper's web server (included in the software's server) instead of a separate option. Would make more sense to me. [alert admin]

MacSatellite 1.2 (Mac OS 9)
is seriously overloaded. This is not the client's fault and it cannot do anything about it. Sadly Audiogalaxy does use a main server to do its magic and this means it can overload and affect clients. Since Audiogalaxy is not receiving money from anyone then fixing or upgrading hardware is a slow and fragile procedure. [alert admin]

InterPlay Fallout 1.1 (Mac OS 9)
ftp://ftp1.interplay.com/pub/macplay/patches/fallmac11.hqx That is… 
the actual link for the update, missing from Versiontracker for some reason. Fallout is one of the great RPG games out there and one of the few (the only for mac, to my knowledge) that use the CURPS engine (others are Fallout 2 and Arcanum, sadly not out for Mac now or ever -Send a petition to Interplaynow !-). The game features a simple story (get a new water chip for your post-apocaliptic community, living in an underground vault after nuclear catastrophe) that starts branching off depending on your decisions with multiple storylines and paths. The game is great and works beautifully in newer macs (OS 9.04 and G3 B&W on my last testing). Fast and unconflicting with newer software and sprockets. The art is great and the attention to the detail is astounding. I have found myself staring at props and models throughout the game for hours, thinking of all the effort that went into making Fallout's a coherent worl within its premise. The turn-based combat, coupled with realtime non-combat strategy and thinking should have made this a game very unique and a perfect starting stone for others to follow (but we know Interplay's position at the moment). I'd recommend it without thinking it twice and give it four stars not because of the game itself but because of the unavailability of its second part in the mac. Eduo [alert admin]
