iToner 1.0.4 (Mac OS X)

Works perfectly on latest iPhone  

This program is very simple and does only one thing, which is to add ringtones to your iPhone (and remove the same), which you have, without having to purchase specified ringtones from Apple and/or the iTunes store. This program does not hack into your iPhone (no "jailbreaking") and so there is no danger to your iPhone, of becoming bricked, like many others had happen to them from unlocking and/or jailbreaking. This program does one thing, puts the ringtones in the right place to be used by the iPhone and doesn't do anything else. For doing exactly that, you couldn't ask for a better program. [alert admin]

XPostFacto 4.0 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)

Looking for coming Leopard support...  

It looks like a fantastic program. I haven't needed to use it, but I've heard (and read a lot) about it. I'm hoping for some support for the upcoming Leopard OS, as this will be the first time that I've needed anything like this program. I have a G4 iMac, 800 MHz and it will fall just under the wire. Let me know if Leopard is going to be supported. Thanks a lot for your hard work. [alert admin]

SWF & FLV Player 3.0.33.5105 (Mac OS X)

Tried last version and this one (no e-mail required...)  

The last version I had, put a limit on the time it would play a file, and you had to get the Pro (paying) version to play a movie all the way through. This current one has no limitation such as that. However, the Pro version does allow the full screen mode and it also will download the file from a website (and it says, plus any extras that may be needed with that file, whatever that means). I never have been asked for an e-mail address and I've downloaded about three or four times so far. Maybe it had something to do with clicking the website address from within the program; I don't know. I tried the Adobe Player like someone earlier said to do and it was worthless. I had a 165 MB file that Adobe wouldn't load at all, it just gave up. QuickTime would play it, after 10 seconds of loading it (have the codec for it), and this player would load it up in 1-2 seconds and start playing. When I clicked on the window, to get a full-sized window, taking up most of the screen, there was some stuttering on the sound (on my iBook 1.42 GHz, 14 inch, G4, the last model made). When the window was put back down to its original size, the stuttering stopped. The Adobe Player is absolutely worthless, so I wouldn't even bother with it. But, this free one seems to work great and I'll see, after using it for a little bit longer, if I want that Pro Version. I put the Support/Documentation as one point down, because it did seem just a little bit sparse. But, maybe not that much is needed. The features were one point down because I think it can be beefed up with more features. Otherwise, I do think that overall it is an excellent program for what it's supposed to do and free is a good price. The pro version is not that much, either. [alert admin]

RouteBuddy 1.1.3 (Mac OS X)

Not there...  

I purchased RouteBuddy last year when it was new. I had high hopes for it, based upon the advertising, but it's definitely "not there" yet. Before I go into the program, itself, it should be said that unless one has the latest and most powerful laptop (Intel Mac), you had better forget about even trying it. I had a new laptop at the time, just purchased a few months prior to getting RouteBuddy (G4 14" iBook, 1.42 MHz, 512 MB RAM). It was extremely slow, so slow that it was basically impossible to use. It took 5-10 minutes to even open up the basic starting document with a map showing. Everytime the map was moved on the page, it would take another 5-10 minutes to redraw it with the new map. It took 14 GB of space to place the map file on the iBook hard drive. I had to just about trash everything that I really wanted on my iBook just to try the program out. So, unless you've got the "greateast and latest" laptop -- forget it, it's not going to work in a practical sense (unless you like waiting 30 minutes to get a couple of "points" on the map). As far as finding addresses, "no can do". You have to know where something is on the map and navigate to it, by moving the map to the location. The problem is, you don't always know where something is. As far as "routing" a course to a destination, well, at first, the program put me on the wrong side of the freeways, going into exit ramps instead of entrance ramps and basically driving on whatever side of the road that the program wanted. I reported it and it was said that it was going to be fixed. Don't know if it has been, because I can barely get the program to run. It takes me, basically, all day, just to test something out (so you can guess I hardly use it, at all). Besides driving on the wrong side of the road, the program does not automatically put you on main streets to get to your destination, but rather, runs you around in back neighborhoods and almost around in circles to get somewhere. It doesn't make any sense at all. I thought that "Route 66" was an absolutely terrible program and nothing could get worse. Well, I was wrong, unfortunately. Perhaps things will get better -- but -- it's got a *long ways* to go before it even matches "up to" Route 66 (and that's terrible to say). Things are not "Mac intuitive" either. Like, for instance, deleting a "waypoint" -- I would figure that one would just select it and select "Delete" from the Edit Menu or perhaps the "Cut" from the Menu (works in a lot of other Mac applications) or "Command-X" would normaly work, too. But, no -- none of that worked. I hunted and hunted before I found out that you hit the "Delete Key" to delete it. What is that? -- from the Windows world??!! If it was from the "Mac World" at least it would be "Command-Delete" instead of just plain "Delete" (besides the fact that *nothing* else would work besides just that one thing). And..., can you "restore" if you accidently hit just the "Delete" key -- no, not that I know of. It might be there, but no one is saying. At least, if it were "Command-Delete" it would be harder to accidently do. And then, you would think that "Command-Z" would work, too. But, nope, no way! Like I said -- *totally* un-Mac-like! And there are a *lot* of other "non-Mac-intuitive" parts to it. So, I'm not sure what "world" these programmers come from. Perhaps they're from the "geeky, command-line, type-it" world of the Windows and/or Linux people -- I don't know. They're sure not "Mac-types" or they would have known that, for sure (plus a whole lot of other "Mac" types of things). I would advise them to *adhere* to the standard and well-known and true and tried "Mac-interface" and the "Mac-standard" of doing things, if they intend to create a "Mac program". So, as I said -- it's got a "long ways to go" and "it's not there yet." I hope we do get some kind of good mapping, routing and driving program, that can run on *normal* laptops and be "Mac-like". We sure need it. But, the way it looks now, the only alternative is to go for Parallels Desktop and get a good "Windows" mapping program. At least they know how to make them work and work right.

great idea.. crazy price..  

Well, I've written a couple of times, asking some questions and from what I heard, the program will actually use two or three discs (of the same backed-up material) and restore a "good copy" from the deteriorated three other discs. So, from what I hear of "disc rot", this program sounds like a pretty good deal, because if you back up two or three identical DVDs and they all three deteriorate (in slightly different places…

Great Developer  

Well, that sounds pretty funny, that some comment that another person made, complimenting the program makes it so that you won't download it to try it... LOL!

A much better alternative to this poor Windows-esque program is:  

Well, I went to that link and downloaded the Adobe program. I had one particular file from YouTube that I got (Richard Dawkins on the God Delusion), so it was 165 MB file. I tried it with the Adobe program. It refused to run it. I tried it with QuickTime (got the codec in there) and it took about 10 seconds to load it up. I tried it with the SWF & FLV Player (just…
