Carracho Client 1.0b10r4 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)
Carracho has been dead for over 5 years. Time to move on guys. It was nice while it lasted, but these days, the action is on Bittorrent and Gnutella2. [alert admin]

Acquisition 132.7 (Mac OS X)
I've been a registered user for several years. Acquisition was a useful P2P app 5 years ago when it first came out, but that it no so any longer. The positive side is that the app is lightweight (8.9 megs), it is easy to use, is well integrated with iTunes, and has a slick user interface. That being said, that does in no way upweigh the negative side, which is that the app is very deficient in the functionality it is supposed to deliver, which is download files from the Gnutella P2P network. I have really stretched myself in trying to be lenient in reviewing this app, but enough is enough. I have sporadically tried over the last two years to get this piece of garbage to produce ANY useful search results, and downloadable files, but it almost always comes up empty handed. I have tried more or less everything, and my Mac, router and app is set up just the way it should be. No blocked ports, no spam flitering activated and so on. Examples: when I search for "ebook" or ".pdf" i get very few useful results - the most i get is garbage - spam files with forged names. On other clients, especially on the PC, i get thousands of results with pdf ebooks with useful content. Ironically, the spam filtering is apparently unable to filte the spam out, because even though I activate it, a lot of junk still creeps though the filters. It even seems to me that the legitimate files are filtered out by the spam filter! :( Acquisition has had it's day, but that is in the past tense now. Avoid. Alternative recommandations: Poisoned (Mac OS X) or Shareaza (Windows). [alert admin]

HexEdit 2.00 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)
Good utility, but it's "creator code" is the same as that of Apple's DiskImageMounter.app, so it tries to take over opening of disk images. I deleted the app from my hard drive, because it became to much of a hassle constantly having to right-click disk images instead of just doublecliking them... [alert admin]

Poisoned 0.519.1 (Mac OS X)
...but it still needs work. The developer was away for over a year. It needs to be updated to a Universal Binary. [alert admin]

BBEdit 8.6 (Mac OS X)
Excellent app, appreciative of the price cut 
BBedit is truly a great text editor. While there are a number of competitors, it doesn't shake BBedit from the throne. I use it to code HTML and Java, and it is very nice for those tasks. I also high appreciate, both the price cut for new licenses, plus the fact they the BB team offers a healthy discount for people who registered in the past (which I have). That makes a loyal customer. [alert admin]

File Buddy 9.0b17 (Mac OS X)
I'm sure glad they cut the price from 60$ to 40$. I might buy it soon. It's a good utility to have. [alert admin]

Macromedia Dreamweaver 8.0.2 (Mac OS X)
A product from one of the most reputable - or so you should think - comapnies in the design business, Dreamweaver has been in an unacceptable state for the Mac for a long time. It is RIDICULOUSLY slow at editing simple text in a webpage. Deleting, selecting, and rearrageing text chuncks can sometimes bring the app to a halt for 10-15 seconds, and ti has been like this for years! I've been using the app since version 3, and it has been this bad since version 4, at least! It is clearly not optimized for teh new Intel Macs. Even though these new macs are at least 4 times faster than the old Macs i used Dreamweaver on, it STILL hangs for 20-25 secons when i first start it up,a nd it still is slow as a snail for common simple text manipulation. I'm only *barely* recommending this app, because it's WYSIWYG features are the best there are in the world of WYSIWYG HTML editors. Adobe (formerly Macromedia) should know that their coding and maintenance of this application is VERY CLEARLY UNACCEPTABLE! When you shell out loads of cash, you expect much more than this.

Blizzard Starcraft Brood War 1.14 (Mac OS X)
No problems, still a great game after a decade. [alert admin]

Poisoned 0.516 (Mac OS X)
We've been waiting for updates since Feburary. It seems like the mark of a disintegrating developer team, sadly. Poisoned has been a nice tool for me, but I've moved to Xfactor. I suggest that the reader, if not do the same, then at leasttry out xfactor. [alert admin]

iView MediaPro 2.5 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)
160$ is simply too much, especially considering that I shelled out for the 1.5 version. Did they offer me a reasonable upgrade pricing ? No. Hence, do they deserve my money ? No. [alert admin]

It is slow because your drive has too little free space (clean it up and delete stuff you don't need before doing a defrag), because your drive is very fragmented (defragging takes time), or simply, because your drive and or computer is slow. A full defrag of a large disk on my PowerMac G4 takes up to 10 hours when it is very fragmented. This is normal.

Looks pretty, but has two fatal flaws
I have the same problem. And I just shelled out for this game for my new Mac... highly unacceptable!
