Viscosity 0.5 (Mac OS X)

Stable, quick, & cheap  

Stable app. Speed is as quick as if not quicker than Apple's built-in VPN option (which has proven necessary for me running an enterprise server where both Windoze users and Macs are logging in, given that Windoze [XP] still cannot do VPN L2TP (or PPTP!) out of the box reliably -- can't speak for Vista). Price ($10 shareware, forthcoming) reasonable. GUI nice. Option for config. tweaks good. Overall a good product. [alert admin]

I first tried…  

the port out about a year ago. This team's made monumental strides forward since then. Congratulations, and thank you -- I now use it exclusively. M$-Office interoperability seems very good (I've been able to swap both XL and Word files between Wintels and Macs and between OO and the M$ products). While the hurdles remain before prime-time adoption, I think this will eventually become the office tool leader for the Mac and give Apple more freedom strategically. [alert admin]

WristSaver 1.0 (Mac OS X)

Fraser, you've done…  

a wonderful job thinking through the UI. Most timers I've tried out are overkill, involving too many keystrokes or too much intervention from the user. I also like the fact that you've provided the option of NOT being able to kill the "time to get up" routine. Future add ons: Provide animated versions of stretching routines the user could perform on this same screen. Good work. [alert admin]

Fink 0.3.1 (Mac OS X)

Fink is a…  

wonderful application -- and I say this after trying it and most other alternatives for running UNIX ports on OS X: (1) I tried running Ximian on top of YDL (a Linux flavor). Backing up, partitioning, and installing took days, and it was less functional than GNOME on XDarwin. (2) FreeBSD/GNU-Darwin get you closer, but dependency-management was still not hassle-free, and is very time-consuming. It's also not for the CLI-phobic. Fink manages dependencies very well. It also allows those who want bleeding edge ports to Darwin to get their hands dirty when they want. Saddened to see you go, Christoph, but I can appreciate the crap you've had to deal with. For what it's worth, you've inspired one other to soon become involved. Much appreciated. [alert admin]
