TapNTune 1.2 (Mac OS X)
This is not unusual behavior for icons, apparently the mask is not set as a button so ONLY the note icon itself and/or the text underneath will respond to the mouse. you can simply change finder views as well as in either list format it works fine. [alert admin]

NeoOffice 2.0 Aqua Beta 3 (Mac OS X)
Great for 90%+ of Office users 
Like MOST people who have Office and use it a sporadically for routine and mundane stuff this IS the Office killer. Maybe if you live with it for most of your day it isn't there yet but the few caveats I've had to endure are easily mentally glossed over by the fact that I am not supporting the gluttonous unholy example of modern human excess that is M$. (If Powerpoint is the only weak point remember that the vast majority of presentations are content vacant and the ones that try to use all the cool stuff especially suck, remember most people are sleeping, browsing the net, listening to iPods, daydreaming about someone of the opposite sex or only reading the synopsis anyway) One last point, the GNU license is a godsend, Open Source is a Godsend, NeoOffice has never disappointed me, these guys work hard for an ideal, are good coders and don't "fork" or leave you stranded, comparing the support capability (they are a lot more responsive than M$) or update schedule to a commercial product is insane and childish.

DiskDriver mini 4.3 (Mac OS X)
Your response to Kaida is in error, the software is listed as Freeware not Shareware. If it is shareware then list it as such. Freeware does NOT advertise etc. Either change the listing to shareware or you are guilty of falsely (and lamely I might add) promoting yourselves. I was drawn to look at this because I was looking for a freeware mp3 player for a site and this is obviously not one. [alert admin]

Sierpens 1.0 (Mac OS X)
I hadn't heard of Dr. Sierpinski and find this an amazing and thought provoking little utility. I think all kids should be exposed to it sometime in their math education. It can be used to simply introduce the subject and older kids could really do some reseach and thinking about it. Thanks for the great idea, a series of these about other unique people and sujects would be tremendous. [alert admin]

SuperDuper! 1.3(68.2) (Mac OS X)
I tried all the others, free and otherwise, maybe CCC is working now but it had lots of problems in the past. I paid for this when I tested it and it worked repeatedly. I may be a sap but my backups and clones have been flawless since day one. This is not an area to mess around in, if one package failed more than once or in more than one version I canned it. That twenty dollars gave me a lot of peace of mind over the last year. [alert admin]

X-Plane 7.61rc1 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)
comin' your way, first and most iimportant, there are "real" download links below the $#it-torrent ones on the laminar site, the second Zeno G one doesn't work, I am on the first Zeno G link now and have gotten 20+Mbs in less than 5 minutes so its working fairly well. FYI it says under the $#it-torretn link that these "may be slower", well they may be in one in a million downloads but they should add "may be faster too!". Second slack I'll give is that this is also a demo so you need everything in there to work the software, however, some slack taken back for 6 minutes of time?!? 15 is enough to hook you, 6 is pretty stupid. Maybe a half hour accounted cumulatively, something that isn't penalizing for wanting to try before the buy. [alert admin]

X-Plane 7.60rc1 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)
I want to try this out and have a 1.2 Mb connection but bit torrent isn't kickin up any dust here, it was looking like I got one peer to give me about 8 - 12Kb and the other three just sat there and I'm not uploading anything and I am not gonna mess with my port settings on the hope that this is somehow so worthwhile. When you get a decent basic host I'll be happy to try again. [alert admin]

HexEdit 1.8.9 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)
that does the simple but necessary task of opening trashed files and allowing you to copy and paste it out. Others want donations, I would pay for this! Kudos to the author(s) thanks so much. PS the feedback link has the old icon, I don't know for how long but you are right its a better icon than the star [alert admin]

Backup Simplicity 1.1.1 (Mac OS X)
Works as advertised but… Your licensing scam, uh, scheme, it just that. With the exponentially flattening obsolecence curve in desktop computers a diminishing portion of the market needs every update of both system and application. Once Windows is forced to become more stable/secure as the burgeoning market pressure mounts, even they will need to upgrade less. I know many people who make good use of technology but their lives don't revolve around it like most of yours. They may be using a 5 to 7 year old machine and the system and applications that came with it. How lame would it be if all their applications "ran out". Youll get away with it in this fringe market but the Gates already proposed a subscription model like this and it tanked. If your software is too buggy to "sell" outright because you "need" the upgrades then say it, or you should sell a stand alone item that will run on today's systems stably for years, you can get 49.95 if its worth anything. Subscriptions might be palatable for hard driving tech jockeys or techno-lemmings but they are inherently unfair in the commercial marketplace. [alert admin]
