Easy Card 3.3.4 (Mac OS X)
A really good blend of ease and power 
It is indeed easy to use. Very. And very reliable: does all the printer placement for you, for example. Yet don't think it's under-featured or simplistic. It isn't. Its creators have managed a superb blend of features and ease of use... thoroughly recommended. Great value for money - this is the one of its type [alert admin]

ClamXav 1.1.0 (Mac OS X)
I downloaded 1.1.0 easily enough to upgrade.
When I tried to install it, it told me that Sentry was active. So I killed it and also uninstalled the engine.
Now every time I try and launch ClamXav - 1.1.0 I get what I think I remember was the splash screen; but it always hangs.
Have repeated the process. Still doesn't work.
No response from the developer - despite writing three times and trying to register (no response) on his BBS.
Feel a bit miffed since I did donate when I first got ClamXav :-( [alert admin]

EagleFiler 1.2.7 (Mac OS X)
This is the one with the most going for it
Yes, I agree: I have tried or looked very closely at all the others. EagleFiler really is the fullest, most robust and best supported. The implications of the latter are that it can only go from strength to strength and develop what is now a very special tool into a world beater. Stable, very well thought-out, easy to use, responsive developer and utterly in tune with the way many Mac users work. [alert admin]

Meander 1.6 (Mac OS X)
This looks like interesting software and I'd like to learn more. But when you click on the 'Developer's Site' link here - and, for that matter, the relevant link on their site, you are redirected to a site <http://acutustrading.com/> that seems to have nothing to do with Meander. Any idea what's happening? [alert admin]

CDpedia 4.0 (Mac OS X)
Tis really is a 'classy' application. Rock-solid, nice to look at, easy and intuitive to use - very, packed with features, yet with a highly well thought-out interface, they're offering this major upgrade free to existing users. Amazing. Well done - and thanks, Bruji! [alert admin]

Bookpedia 4.0 (Mac OS X)
This is a phenomenal piece of software!
These people really do know how to program! The new version - a pretty major upgrade, adding useful and sophisticated functionality - is actually free to existing users. On installation it seamlessly updates your data - then continues to provide the best set of features, is the most reliable (never any crashes etc. Never), and looks the most elegant of all such software. Only complaint - it's worth over twice as much! Thanks, Bruji! [alert admin]

iGTD 1.4.3 (Mac OS X)
I'll add my voice with heaps of approval: <i>iGTD</i> is elegant, stable, flexible, easy-to-use, well-supported, clean, without complications yet just as powerful as it needs to be. Definitely the one (after having done much research). [alert admin]

DEVONagent 2.0.3 (Mac OS X)
I thought long and hard about DEVONagent 2. And I mean long - six months or more.
At first, I confess, I was put off by what seemed like a high price and by the claims of an application that seemed to duplicate what Google used properly does. (And by some negative reviews.)
OTOH I was - and remain - extremely impressed with the company's responsiveness to my doubts and questions.
But (my fascination for) DEVONagent wouldn't go away. I found myself using it as first choice when I really wanted to get to grips with a subject for which materials were available on the web but usually get buried in the welter of Google's returns. I started to do some comparisons between the two sets of results and consistently found DEVONagent's more useful, better targeted and less 'noisy'.
Then I read the manual! I began to use some of the configurations not only for refining my searches (proximity, exclusion, grouping in particular), but also for saving, scheduling and fine-tuning specialized searches. The sheer power, flexibility and rich feature set of DEVONagent became more and more obvious. So too did the thought that has gone into the (interface and menu structure) design. I have a fast connection and get fast results.
The idea of custom plugins and search sets - e.g. for areas that particularly interest me (the arts, the Mac, the environment, history) is an exciting one. The notion that I remain in control of what gets filtered - e.g. the rejection of cartloads of index spam - is appealing. Expanding and adapting my searches, saving them and polishing what I get when (and having the results automatically emailed to me!) - these are winning features. And features alone which - go-ahead though it clearly is - Google is unlikely to provide on my desktop.
I don't suppose my 'conversion' experience is unusual. Like those of a really good friend, DEVONagent's benefits may not be immediately obvious. But they are legion. Definitely recommended. [alert admin]

I tried emailing the address on the VT page and it bounces. Guess they've given up :-((

Developer has always answered my emails....
Same here, I'm afraid: various things stopped working some time ago. Have written to both addresses I have for the developer several times. Nothing.

Agreed, it's truly superb. Though when I installed this update, my list of categories was there - but no actual names/items in the right hand column. Anyone any ideas?

Administrative mode and tech support
Their tech support used to be excellent. Lately I've been unable to get anything out of them. It's an excellent product - but when it started filling up my Jumpdrive with temporary sessions, I needed to know why. Two weeks later I'm still waiting. Here's hoping they're not too swamped with well-deserved orders to attend to existing customers :-(

> CDpedia might behave very differently when the database contains 1,000 CDs instead of 10. I have thousands - and it's just as excellent!

But Chronos announced recently that in 'abandoning' forum support they were returning to free email support - via a link at the end of each KB article; I have always found their response time pretty good.
