Rainlendar Lite 2.6 Build 82 (Mac OS X)
I tried this on Windows and it's nice to have your calendar on the desktop. I know this comes from the PC world, is free and that it's also a lot of work to add PPC code if you don't use Apples developer tools.
It would have been nice though as PPC will continue to be a substantial minority in the Macworld. After all my Dual 2.0 G5 with 4GB kept tabs with and exceled in a few tests that we conducted against a new Mac Pro Eight core Nehalem with 16GB in my office this spring when both ran the exact same operations on the one realworld Final Cut Studio 2 project. Overall the now 4 year old G5 won!
This will change with the next Final Cut studio I'm sure, but nevertheless it's an accomplishment on the G5's part.
While I'll definitely will be getting an Intel Mac, a portable probably, it's a shame Apple didn't make it easier for Windows developers to port their software to OS X. It's also sad when developers don't make the effort, though in Rainlendars case it's understandable.

StuffIt Expander 13.0.3 (Mac OS X)
P2P to the rescue (version 12) 
I really think more companies should make older versions of their freeware available. If not, they should be replaced with some product that does so.
StuffIt Expander version 12 is available here:

Jing 2.0 (Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows XP, Windows 2000)
Great for motion video OR screen capture!
The only free tool I've found that can do screen capture on dropped menus, autoselect parts of dialogs, draw on the capture and severalother features. Only free tool I've found that with little effort let's you capture your screen to high quality motion video AND record audio at the same time. And screencast.com? Wow! It's nothing less than great and I'm looking into the Pro version due to the 5-minute timelimit, mpeg-4 and other differences. $14.95 a year? For all that time I save? It's a steal! [alert admin]

Macromedia Dreamweaver 8.0.2 (Mac OS X)
It took me a while to find the 8.0.2 updater as Adobe try to make you to download the CS3 trial instead, so here it is for all you latecomers: http://www.adobe.com/support/dreamweaver/downloads_updaters.html#dw8 [alert admin]

Apple iTunes 7.6 (Mac OS X)
Tiger users, make sure you are on 10.4.9 or later
I have software that behaves badly with OS X versions from 10.4.9 and later, so I'm stuck for the moment on OS X 10.4.8. A wonderful subversion if you ask me. I assume iTunes 7.6 most likely won't work under this version as it says 10.4.9. I'm mentioning this as a reminder if you're in a similar situation like mine and also like me used to upgrade iTunes without much thought. I've decided to stay on iTunes 7.4.1 for the moment, because I don't need the possible dread of 7.5, and the 7.4.1 version works nicely for me. When I go to Leopard I'll be starting with iTunes 8 or something. [alert admin]

iTunify 1.7.7 (Mac OS X)
On the Satsumac web page there a erroneus link saying "Some of the code used in iTunify is available as a free download from Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes". The link however is faulty and leads to an error page. While he's being semi-open about it I question the morale to package free scripts and charge for it without the explicit consent of the developer. On the other hand applescripts that are not copyrighted, may be free for the taking legally. But does the laws equal good morale? [alert admin]

BitPump 1.0 (Mac OS X)
I kinda knew that an app named Bit*pump* should be really bad. The Mac platform does NOT need apps looked after badly. Good riddance! [alert admin]

That's funny. You claim "garbage", but have nothing to back it up. You are a walking malware commenter!

support sucks (however, PowerMail works fine)
Yes, the support could be a whole lot better. However, to say it's the worst of the worst is just laughable. For many people PowerMail will do a better job than Apple's Mail. The main feature for me is that PowerMail doesn't get in the way of me and my email. It just works very nicely usually, with the occasional quirk a couple of times a year. But all the other contenders have their quirks…

I should have used the menu command recheck existing data
When I used the menucommand "Transfers - > recheck existing data" it read the downloaded files properly and didn't start anew. My bad. Still wish it would ask for it though.

SpamSieve does work very very well
I had one of the problems described and my solution was to tell SpamSieve to except my addresses in the Apple Addressbook. This as the messages that was falsely labeled as good was sent seemingly from myself. I've had very few good messages being wrongly labeled as spam and my accuracy rate since 2004 is now 99.6% correct out of circa 200 000 messages having been filtered. I couldn't be much happier. Well, perhaps 0.4% happier...…

I'd rather have reviews of concept and execution based on the subjectivity of the reviewer rather than being fair and balanced. I can figure out the rest and not one review will prove anything in itself. I think functions and needs for the user that this application can cover could be made more clear.
As it is now I'm looking elsewhere. Much software these days is focused on the wrong stuff like a great display…

Re: I use this app ALL the time. Fantastic!
I agree this is a great application though I only used for recording talk on my powerbook. However in order to grab music from iTunes and turn that AIFF you only have to use iTunes builtin conversion if you have the track saved there.
Of course you may talk about streaming radio, but you didn't make that clear. In that case Audio Hijack could be used, but I'd prefer to save it to the native…

I haven't tried TAO. However, I really think an outliner should be very responsive also on older machines, like 5 years at least. I use OmniOutliner on a Powerbook G4 400mhz and I'm very satisfied with that app for my purposes. I even run stuff like Logic 7on this machine, so it can kick in when it has to. Even if occasional features need horsepower that shouldn't make an app slow all the time. One app…

If the objective is to keep the Windows and Mac interfaces identical, the obvious solution is to let the mac interface dictate what the windows interface should look like, not the other way around. Why? Because Mac users just won't have it and Windows users often have way less objecttions to mac-inspired interfaces. Of 2, why pick the the inferior alternative? Naturally, shortcuts, menu-option placement and similar should not be identical.....
