Azada: Ancient Magic 1.0.8 (Mac OS X)

Several seconds to decide  

Not an expensive product, so I decided to see whether my 9-year old daughter may deserve it. Downloaded using an intel mac, tested, works, stopped after several seconds asking for buying it. well, well, just several seconds to decide? Moved to an older 12 in Powerbook, runs beautifully, again asks for buying it after several seconds. So, believe me, it is impossible to decide whether to buy or not after only 5-10 seconds, could not realize whether appropriate or not for my daughter. The author should be merciful with parents, really cannot dedice whether appropriate or not for my daughter and, if so, whether she deserves it. Several seconds are not enough. Looks good and serious, but who knows? [alert admin]

aTypeTrainer4Mac 1.5 (Mac OS X)

Best of its kind  

A small, well done and most useful application, perhaps the best of its kind. Congratulations to its author. [alert admin]

iCalamus 103 (Mac OS X)

DTP Application of 2006  

By far, the MAC OS X DTP Application of year 2006. Despite its limits now, by far the best in the field of 'non-traditional, consecrated' DTP apps. I do hope it will not fall into oblivion by being swallowed up by a giant. Congratulations (no bias, I really do not know who has done this true cocoa app) [alert admin]

AbiWord 2.2.10 (Mac OS X)

great step ahead  

There is a radical, and essential, improvement regarding display and print when CDM (combining Diacritical Marks), including the much desired improvement when more than 1 CDM is used. This is an essential issue for word processors, especially when specific needs be (linguistics, phonetics etc.). From this point of view, already better than NeoOffice/J and Pages. [alert admin]

seemingly unnoticed  

Seems a simple, good, reliable (should be tested more in order to remove word 'seems'). Notably, it unicode support is wonderful, and this makes it good for multinational databases. The only minuses refer to not being able to export an interchange format like rtf. [alert admin]

GreekTranscoder 1.0.1 (Mac OS X)

corrupt archive  

Downloaded 5 times so far, always with an error message upon uncompressing. I think its author should review the package posted, and replace it with a valid archive. Otherwise, as described, seems most useful... [alert admin]

AbiWord 2.2.7 (Mac OS X)

going on towards 5 stars  

Tried it first last autumn, abandoned it for some time, now have reverted to it for a test. Better and better, seems a reliable app, which does not crash any more (this was a problem). Perhaps one of those gems of software of the open source world. congratulations... [alert admin]

iBackup 4.0 (Mac OS X)

simple and reliable  

The best moment when you may appreciate this little gem is after re-installing the whole system and, provided that you did not forget to save all your essential data, iBackup is there to restore all these, including keychain (I bet you forgot how many sites require your login name and pasword) and various other sys hidden data. Do not waste the capabilities for banal savings, e.g. your files, just copy them via drag-and-drop to a CD or flash-drive or another partition. use it for saving those hidden data you need so much.

cannot open because the program "is not supported on this system"  

OK, yet it is a bad idea to have intel and PPC versions with EXACTLY the same name. You should discriminate one from another by adding PPC and Intel respectively.

Good stuff  

I am an old customer of Novamedia. Some 3 years ago I purchased their kit requried by my (then) SE510i, recently by my wife’s Nokia Classic 3120 and my E51. I have activated Classic Nokia on both my mac (for testing, of course) and my wife’s (of course too, for current use), then my E51 and, alas, all my 3 activations are gone. If I want to sell may mac or else by another phone,…

Non Standard User Interface  

May or not be correct, but the comments here refer to entirely non-essential aspects of NeoOffice v. OpenOffice or v. any MAC OS X app.

If you are casting around for alternatives…  

Your comparison is indeed useless as you compare uncomparable applications. If you wish to indeed find flaws in Nisus, perhaps you should use it a little bit.

So the PowerPC code is state of art?  

Intel macs had and still have more problems with wl connections than PPC macs, there still were more problems in 2006 than now. So, be happy with your PPC just as I am with my 12 in PB, a jewel of its kind.

Confused re Requirements  

I do not think there is any detriment, it may just be useless, just like Target Mode for the new, firewire-less MacBooks. Silence reigns over the kingdom of Denmark these days of firewire-less macs. Indeed, Software Update also detects it as useful for my iMac, so am going to install it, even if, presumably, useless as long as I do not have any MBA yet. Nor do I have a firewire-less new MB.

PPC version is here:  

I wonder why the PPC version is hidden by the corner as long as the developers continue to update it regularly, be it a little bit later than intel version.

My logical question would be ‘what for Norton Antivirus’, but I assume you open the windows very often.
