iTaskX 2.1 (Mac OS X)
We have used this product in our department for nearly 2-years. We reviewed almost 20 different PM products from FastTrack to the shareware apps and found that this product met our needs and allowed us to work with our MS Project users. For the most part it has been a good product: stable with functional features. However, we are concerned about the lack of further development and the lack of an Intel build. Now that we are all Intel Mac and moving to Leopard the concern grows. The vendor site indicates "Leopard Ready" but he lack of new builds and universal or Intel code may have us shopping in the near future. We like the fact the product has not been constantly changing very few months but a new build would be prudent. Tons of new features is not the concern and would probably just mess up a good product. Give us an Intel build with a few refinements for compatibility with other PM suites, reporting and presentation features, etc. and call it version 2.2. in the future they can focus on interface enhancements and project sharing and go for version 3...then we would be willing to review and buy new licenses. Please. [alert admin]

Namely 1.5.1 (Mac OS X)
This is one of the best FREE utilities I have ever used! And it puts a lot of paid for products to shame in it's simplicity and utility. My dock is all clear except for those apps I like to drag docs on to. This means I can actually have an uncluttered dock with icons that arn't 10 pixels high :-) It is great that all I have to do when I want to launch something is to invoke Namely and type any fragment of the name of the app I want to launch and BANG! It works. Whenever someone sees me use it they ask what it is I show them and they think it's the next best thing to sliced bread. But for some reason they continue to use the dock or navigate the Finder to launch they apps...strange behaviour from people who are smart enought to chose a Mac as thier prefered computer. Namely has been very reliable and is rock solid. It has never caused any issues on any of the 3 PBG4s an 2 PMG4s I use. It has never crashed and I am absolutly certain it has not misbehaved. It is easy to setup and to use, and until you need it you don't even know its there. I wish more apps were like this...I know if this was the case then there would be a lot of technical support people out of a job so maybe its best that most apps are poor and only a sellect few like Namly are GREAT!

I have used a lot of free and not so free stuff in my years and this little tool is now part of my top 100. Good Job!. It blows away the Run command on my Windows PC. The only thing I can say is keep it simple and stable but add some more preferences such as removing Namly from the Dock or setting a activation point. [alert admin]

Simple Search 1.0.1 (Mac OS X)
I love this app. It sits in the top right corner of all our desktops and laptops and once a user is shown what it does they love it. It is great being able to add custom plug-ins for sites that meet our particular needs. Yes Google and Yahoo searches are nice, and an eBay search or two is useful, but the real winners for us are not only the custom plug-ins, but also the Show URL and the dictionary. These two are indispensable for the type of web-savvy and impatient users I face. [alert admin]

InVisibles 1.2 (Mac OS X)
way to get at something visible and then make this things invisible (normal) again. BTW... RobotCombat and manicman... It actually doesn't crash the Finder, it has to restart the Finder to make the changes. I think this info can be found in the documentation or something, but I have noted that any utility that makes changes like this needs to restart the GUI to reflect the change. [alert admin]

If i could get it to work (which i can't) it would sure be better than me having to go into system preferences when i want to throttle up and down the processor cycles on my PowerBook. I would sure welcome the control instead of relying on the systems automatic setting.
