Breakaway 1.6 (Mac OS X)
but no cigar. Or am I mixing my metaphores now? Anyway, upon launch the launching flash panel froze in place, on top of all other windows, and wouldn't budge. Force quit didn't recognize the process. A restart was required to get rid of Breakaway's launching flash panel. After which I used AppDelete1.1.1 to get it off my system good. Sorry, too flaky for me. [alert admin]

iTunes Catalog 2.2.2 (Mac OS X)
Well if that geezer reneges on his responsibility there's no alternative but some tinkering, eh? Here's what I found. Dunno if it does anything effective really, so you're on your own: 1.6b1 Crack: modify file: iTunes Catalog/Contents/Frameworks/KSRegistration.framework/Versions/A/KSRegistration change: offset 0x1E6C: 0x7C0802A6 to 0x38600001 offset 0x1E70: 0xBFA1FFF4 to 0x4E800020 [alert admin]

Griffin Final Vinyl 2.5.1 (Mac OS X)
The Preferences allow you to choose what output format you want. But the choice is betweenAIFC or WAV. NOT MP3! What gives? So, even if Final Vinyl works, you still will have to convert the results to MP3s. Not the user friendliest app of 'm all... [alert admin]

TimeMachineScheduler 2.1 (Mac OS X)
"Unfortunately [TM's] backup interval is preset constantly to one hour." No, Sir. TM's scheme is preset to backup every hour only in the first 24 hours. Thereafter it creates an incremental backup once every day for a week. And thereafter once every week until the backup disk is full. So for people who need incremental backups at least twice a day TMS can be a boon. IF it works dependably as advertised. But how many people need incremental backups at least twice a day? I am happy with an incremental backup every 2 or 3 days, but once a week is too long an interval for me. So I start and stop TM manually every few days. Now, if TMS could dependably manage incremental backup intervals longer than 12 hours but shorter than a week it would be useful to me. Now it isn't. [alert admin]

SndSampler 6.0.5 (Mac OS X)
Creates AIFF files with no sound under my OSX.5.2. I.o.w. zilch result. Wasted my time. No thanks. [alert admin]

LeopardAssist 1.1 (Mac OS X)
After going through that whole rigmarole to 'fool the pre 867Mhz cpu into thinking it is post 867Mhz' my 800Mhz G4 iMac (the 'Lamp') turned out decidedly unimpressed: it still keeps rejecting regular Leopard installer disks yet plays any other disk happily. Another time waster I'm afraid. [alert admin]

iBackup 6.4 (Mac OS X)
It doesn't do the encrypting I set it to do. Under OSX.5.2. It doesn't do any encrypting at all as far as I could see. Nothing happened. Looks like it copies every file without altering even one bit in them. And everything completely in the clear. So no compressing – i.o.w. no space saving – and no security. That makes the 'backup' useless for secure offline, off premises storage under third party control/access (a buddy's RAID system). So, bottomline: for me iBackup didn't do ANYTHING it said it would . . . ! iBackup wasted my time. And since Time Machine also doesn't accomodate encrypted standalone backup files, Carbon Copy Cloner is still the champ here. Let's hear it for old faithfull!!! [alert admin]

PhotoPresenter 3.3 (Mac OS X)
Yes, it works. And yes, it's got one or two interesting effects. But apart from that it does exactly the same as iPhoto's Export/QuickTime feature does. The biggest disappointment, imo, is that saved slideshows are HUGE, considering the size of the images (just like when you use iPhoto's Export/QuickTime feature). As a consequence slideshows of about 5 images or more are too large to be emailed, and require another distribution method with much more capacity (FTP, PodMailing.com, Pando.com, CD, DVD, etc. etc.). So, imo, PhotoPresenter doesn't add anything to Mac users that they haven't got already. [alert admin]

TimeMachineEditor 1.2.1 (Mac OS X)
Doesn't change TimeMachine's backup actual backup schedule even one second. No effect is discernible, at all. [alert admin]
