IP Scanner 2.34 (Mac OS X)
Not Freeware, but a free product exists for the purpose
This isn't freeware, Versiontracker.com notwithstanding. Try WakeOnLan, which will provide an almost-as-good list, offers some additional capabilities, and it is freeware: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/24421 [alert admin]

MacATC 1.0 (Mac OS X)
Wow, Landsbert, this is real close to what I was looking for! Did you ever see an old game for Mac, called ATC I think, back in the System 7 days or thereabouts? It had a grid in a circle, simulating a radar screen. There were obstacles like power lines and mountains. You had to manually steer and adjust altitude for every aircraft, by clicking on the plane and editing properties which would be inherited at the next clock cycle. A clock would periodically cause the planes to move to the next grid location. Over time, more and more planes would appear. I could probably remember a few more details... maybe make a drawing. I _loved_ that game. I have scoured the web for anything like it, on Mac or Windows, and it is completely gone. If anyone knows anything about this game or where the original one might be obtained, please post here. My request to Landsbert is, of course, to re-make it for OS X. I think it would be worth a multiple of $5 :-) Frank Martin Author, FUNDimensions Fundraising Software Apple Certified Help Desk Specialist [alert admin]

Google Desktop 1.6.0.1552 (Mac OS X)
from: http://desktop.google.com/support/mac/bin/answer.py?answer=64429 Version 1.6.0.1552 (9/30/2008) Feature improvements: Google Updater is no longer required to install or uninstall Google Desktop. Known issues: Installation issues During initial indexing, Google Desktop may have a noticeable impact on your computer, especially if your hard drive is highly fragmented or low on disk space. We've designed Google Desktop to be usable - if a bit sluggish - during this period. Once indexing is complete, your computer should return to its normal, speedy self. To expedite indexing, we recommend that you have at least 10 percent disk space remaining and defragment your hard disk before installing. If you put the 'Double Click to install Google Desktop' file on a FileVault volume before running it, you may see an error message stating that you need insert a disk. To avoid this issue, don't move the file out of the DMG before running it. Mail and browser issues Indexing Gmail may take a long time because emails are downloaded in batches; each 'batch' is separated by two hours, and there's no progress meter. If you use MailTags, you need to delete the existing MailTags Spotlight importer from /Library/Spotlight or ~/Library/Spotlight and reinstall version 2.0b9 or later. Earlier versions cause crashes during indexing. Inability to search for MailTag tags in emails; the mail contents themselves can be searched normally. We are working with the MailTags author to resolve this. If you have both Firefox 2 and Firefox 3 installed, you may see a message appear in the following instances: The first time you launch Firefox 3 after updating to the latest version of Desktop, an 'Add-on' dialog will appear and the Desktop Search 1.1 extension will be installed. If you launch Firefox 2 after having launched Firefox 3 and installing the Desktop Search 1.1 extension, you'll see an 'Incompatible Add-ons' dialog. If you see this message, click Don't Check. Despite this message, both Firefox 2 and Firefox 3 should work normally with Google Desktop. Indexing issues Desktop may slow down and appear unresponsive when completing an operation that involves a lot of files, such as installing Logic Studio. It will eventually catch up. Other issues We've received reports of some CVS (Concurrent Versioning System) updates failing with I/O errors. The workaround is to disable indexing during the update and re-enable after the update is complete. If you're working with programs like CVS or SVN (Subversion), you may experience large amounts of file I/O. There's a known issue in Mac OS 10.4+ where large amounts of file I/O may cause a kernel panic. To resolve the issue, we recommend adding any CVS or SVN associated items to your Privacy list.

iQuarantine X 10.5.2 (Mac OS X)
If you'd prefer to get this somewhat dubious alteration (you are circumventing a security feature) for free, and do not mind the tiniest bit of effort, see this web page:
http://henrik.nyh.se/2007/10/lift-the-leopard-download-quarantine/trackback/
or this one, by the same author:

I have not tried any of these, as I am not quite on Leopard yet.

Transmission 1.11 (Mac OS X)
The version currently posted has a cosmetic window defect under Tiger. The right side of the progress bars are clipped, together with the reveal and pause buttons located far right. You might want to skip this version for now. I am sending a screen shot to the developer. [alert admin]

Never mind. VT has not updated their page: but the developer's site lists this as 10.6-compatible.

The product info on the Versiontracker page for this product indicates it is only for 10.4-10.5. You do not need support: you need to read what is already in front of you.

As I clearly stated in my first post, this is a Leopard system, where your product crashes.

I didn't recommend anything, I only provided alternatives, which had an advantage of being free to try out or keep. I made it perfectly clear that I had not tested anything. (As it turns out, I have now tested the alternative I linked to, and it works great.) Frank Martin Author, FUNDimensions Fundraising Software Apple Certified Help Desk Specialist

Like you, I had a problem encrypting an entire USB drive, but that seems to have been fixed in a recent update. Try again?

How is this an improvement over Google Notifier?
You can set the time interval for checking Gmail in this software; in Google's product, you are stuck at once per minute. That is the only difference I see.

I just tried Tabmeister on my Intel mac and found processor utiliization the same as you reported. So, Tabmeister is efficient on intel macs, contrary to my earlier report concerning PPC macs.
