FilePathCM 1.0.4 (Mac OS X)
Excellent productivity enhancer, 
I manage a file server and I sometimes manually move dozens or hundreds of files at a time. I combine this with "One Finger Snap"1.4.1 AND "Lazy Mouse" 2.0.2 Look up these great freewars appl's here at VersionTracker.com or MacUpdate.com This amazing troika allows me to juggle files and folders with aplomb and alacrity, [alert admin]

CocoaFIBS 0.5 (Mac OS X)
CocoaFIBS is 2nd best in a field of two. 
JavaFibs is far more stable than CocoaFIBS and has a fine feature set. This thing is buggy especially when you are bearing off and want to use a small number to move a checker in your home board before using a large number to bare off a single checker. [alert admin]

iGet 1.0b5 (Mac OS X)
The following is my (nearly verbatim) final beta test Report for iGet, reproduced here by permission of the software development team: " . . . major complaint is SPEED, or lack of same. Speed of file transfers must always be the primary concern of admins and users alike. As a not-entirely scientific test I performed multiple uploads and downloads with iGet SIMULTANEOUS with an equal number of file transfers utilizing (haxial's) "KDX Client." [KDX file transfers are encrypted and function on a Server - Client and/or (Peer-to-Peer) basis. [ K D X is fully platform-independent and does NOT conform to Apple's A.P.I.s. It is completely cross-platform, including interfaces for BSD, OS X, Linux, WinXP, etc.] iGet file transfers were generally in the range of from 1 - 3 K/sec. (on a Cable Modem connection.) KDX got 3 - 6K /sec with 4 files at a time, and with 2 files, 4 - 8K/sec each. For comparison purposes only my downloads from a selection of standard web pages ranged from 45k/sec to over 500k/sec [utilizing "Speed Download"] A major annoyance was experienced immediately as iGet does NOT report the ongoing or the final speed of file transfer or estimated time to completion. These are available in all of the P - to - P applications that I have tried as both user and admin' over the last 12 years. The following is a illustrative representative sample: 2004-06-30 17:30:03 -0400: Task started. 2004-06-30 17:30:03 -0400: Requesting upload... 2004-06-30 17:31:28 -0400: Will start transfer stream... 2004-06-30 17:31:28 -0400: Total transfer size will be 2.51 MB. 2004-06-30 17:52:51 -0400: Complete. 2004-06-30 17:53:35 -0400: Transfer complete. 2004-06-30 17:53:35 -0400: Task completed. 2004-06-30 17:53:35 -0400: Elapsed time: 1411.547 sec. The computation required to determine the actual speed -- after the fact . . . 2.51 x 1,024 / 1,412 = 1.8K / sec. On balance, iGet has a nice clean uncluttered basic no-frills user-friendly and intuitive interface. Perhaps the "newbie" would be stumped by his inability to understand the File Permissions in the "Get Info" windows, but that is splitting hairs as (s)he has no "need to know." It is important for end-users to realize that iGet utilizes OS X's File Sharing, and, security concerns aside, this requires that the other party share with you BOTH her Mac's I.P. address AND her PASSWORD. This needs to be borne in mind. I believe that if the speed of file transfers can be ratcheted up by a factor of 2 or 3 then iGet can be viewed as a seriously valuable tool on a LAN or on a wireless Airport Extreme network. I would not hesitate to recommend it as an affordable and uncomplicated alternative to First Class Client / Server, etc. [alert admin]

Symantec Norton Utilities 8.0b (Mac OS X)
NOT ready for prime time. Avoid like the plague it is. None of the modules appear to be completely stable. NUM has a history of doing damage - versions 5 and 7 being the most dixey. [alert admin]

GUI for running important shell scripts. Beats the hell out of the competition, a rather cluttered field. I run a popular semi-private KDX Server and have highly recommended "maintain" to my membership without reservation - a rara avis [alert admin]

Apimac English-Spanish Dictionary 4.0 (Mac OS X)
just got back from Central America and I have been practicing my Spanish a lot. I cannot say enough about this application. Sooo user friendly and intuitive. It is crafted splendidly. I keep trying to conjure a proposed improvement but I come empty! Que Lastima! <(((^÷_÷^)))> [alert admin]

Haxial KDX 0.934 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)
that you would prefer an sexy woman who is a moron or a shiny sports car that is mechanically unsound. The interface does not follow API's and the windoze and Linux versions are exactly the same as the Mac version ! The functionality of KDX is great. Do you realize that there is a built-in search engine and that you can sort files by column headings? [alert admin]

Your complaint #1 is NOT my experience. I have it cycling through a lengthy (!) list of serenity-inducing videos which are lovely on my MacBook Pro 17" at a resolution of 1680 x 1050. When it comes to RAM used or processor power used THAT is another story. I find that it does exactly as advertised.
