No problems here  

I've been using Sound Studio for quite a while now, and have not had the problems others are reporting. The only times it has crashed on me have been when I plugged in or unplugged iMic while it was running. It has never lost its preferences or registration info, and has never locked up the whole computer. I routinely edit large files (200 - 300 MB, or about 20 - 30 minutes) on a low-end machine (iMac 500 MHz), but with a lot of RAM (640 MB). Sound Studio does appear to need a lot of real memory, so perhaps that is the crucial factor in whether it is stable or not. [alert admin]

Transmit X 2.5.0 (Mac OS X)

Much faster!  

They weren't kidding about speed improvements. FTP is no longer painful to use :-) Maybe Panic should rewrite the Finder. [alert admin]

iLink 0.8 (Mac OS X)

Needs support for…  

non-Roman characters. My Japanese links show up as gibberish. [alert admin]

FuzzyClock 1.0.4b (Mac OS X)

All those seconds…  

and fractions of seconds are illusory anyway. Real time is fuzzy. (A friend of mine once removed the second and minute hands from his wall clock. He said none of his other friends understood it, but it made perfect sense to me.) And the languages are fun, too. [alert admin]

Watson 1.6 (Mac OS X)

I was going…  

to add some comments, but I think it's all been said. I'll just second all the good reviews below. [alert admin]

frotz 2.41 (Mac OS X)

maisha (and anyone…  

else with this problem): when I tried to run frotz in Jag, I got this error message: "dyld: frotz can't open library: /usr/local/lib/libncurses.dylib.5 (No such file or directory, errno = 2)". When I looked in /usr/local/lib, I found a file (actually a sumbolic link) called libncurses.5.dylib. Embarrassingly, it took me forever to realize that these two file names were different (the 5 in a different place). Here's what I did to fix the problem. in the Terminal, enter "sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libncurses.5.dylib /usr/local/lib/libncurses.dylib.5". This creates a link from the name frotz is expecting to the file it really wants. (A more professional solution I guess would involve editing the frotz source files.) [alert admin]

Macromedia Flash player X 6.0r2 (Mac OS X)

Here's a site…  

that I found would not work with OmniWeb, no matter which browser it pretended to be: http://www.yha.com.au/itinerary. With IE, though, I had no problem. [alert admin]

frotz 2.41 (Mac OS X)

There is something…  

pleasingly perverse about playing IF games on the Terminal :-) Let's hear it for the power of Unix. [alert admin]

Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)

If you get…  

the Show Info window (Cmd+I), you'll see that it's version 5.0.5. [alert admin]
