Old Glory 1.2.1 (Mac OS X)
So it turns out Old Glory works just fine on Panther -- that's why I didn't notice any problems. It's just that Panther and/or Safari was corrupting the module when it unpacked the gzipped gnutar archive. I guess the way the system deals with compressed files changed in Panther. I re-released Old Glory using a zip file and bumped the version number to 1.2.1. You should be all set now. [alert admin]

SMS Sender 2.20 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)
This looks like a joke, or an attack 
$25,000 US? This is either a joke, or an attack. I strongly recommend not using this program until the information in VT actually matches the thing you download. This is regarding version 2.0.1 [alert admin]

Mobile High Speed 3G 4.04 (Mac OS X)
I got my GPRS phone working with panther for free, after a few minutes of research on Google. (Special thanks to the great free phone resources in the UK). While I could imagine paying up to $10 us for a product that made this process cleaner, 100x is ... um ... unrealistic. [alert admin]

Save Your Screen 1.0 (Mac OS X)
The UI / workflow is ghastly -- not very Mac-like at all. That said, it seems to do a complete job of creating slideSavers. Since normal users can just create slideSavers from Finder (1. drag pictures into a folder; 2. rename folder to "something.slideSaver") this utility is really only necessary for people who want to distribute their work w/ a copyright string; and so in that case, maybe a $5 price is appropriate. If you can stomach the UI. [alert admin]

Red Pill 1.4.1 (Mac OS X)
Very well done -- a nice looking Matrix-y screen saver. [alert admin]

FTXSaver 1.0a3 (Mac OS X)
OpenGL does support antialiased drawing -- just turn it on. Check those docs again. [alert admin]

Halloween 1.999-v3 (Mac OS X)
I agree messing with permissions is bad. Mac OS 9 is not the answer. [alert admin]

Big Clock X 2.7 (Mac OS X)
Works as advertised. The clock is very large and readable, and even has an alarm. Did not require Classic for me. The UI is clunky. For example, if the app is going to be so adept roll-over, why not ditch the skanky modal panel at launch (a preference panel w/ a quit button?!? gimme a break!), and show the menu bar when the mouse rolls to the top of the screen? Full-screen video games have been doing that for years. That way the Quit command can live where it wants to live, and preferences can be invoked normally. Also, UI items flash and move around the screen, but not in a good way. When the app comes up it draws itself several times, as the app tries to decide where it should go. The skanky modal panel also flashes and resizes as it draws its elements. It should all just appear in the right place the first time. Another example, why is the alarm function embedded in preferences? Makes no sense. The alarm is a tool/function, not a "preference". This is another feature that I would normally expect to find in a menu item. The app covers all monitors on my multi monitor system, but displays the clock only on the main monitor; this should also be a preference. Maybe I want to display the clock on all monitors. Maybe I only want to cover a specific monitor. More in the "feature" request category, the app would still be useful in "windowed" mode: i.e., a normal, resizeable movable window. That way I could put the clock where I want. Or maybe as an animated desktop picture. [alert admin]

ScreenSaverTexter 1.1 (Mac OS X)
"Added password protection..." ???
Still boggled why this doesn't use the built in screen saver engine. The screen saver engine is capable of the necessary interactive UI. Adding screen saver features one by one (passwords, hot corners, etc.) seems like a waste of time. Otherwise, this program has a fair amount of style, and may get traction in lab environments (like the old fasioned terminal locking commands ('lock') of yore). [alert admin]
