Daylite 3.7.4 (Mac OS X)
After giving up on Now and Nighthawke, I moved from Now Contact and UpToDate to Dalite. Yes, there's a steeper learning curve (the product does a lot more in terms of functionality than what I was using). The entire network, database process and updating two machines isn't as intuitive as I'd like but works. There are some areas that need to be addressed, otherwise I'd give it five stars. But the product is very robust, and works very well with Apple Mail (which I updated from Entourage for use with Daylite). Its very fast. Tech support has been so far, superb. Documentation is so-so although the video's on the web site are helpful. I hope to see great things from this product in the future. It imported all my Now data pretty well, with minimal clean up which was great (I have data going back to about 1995). Overall, it was a good purchase and I don't miss the Now Products (or for that matter, Entourage), at all. [alert admin]

Mac Pilot 3.0.3 (Mac OS X)
They seem to update this app on a weekly basis, the activation is the biggest pain in the ass I've ever seen. Simply not worth it. I'm done with these guys. [alert admin]

PTHPasteboard PRO 4.3.2 (Mac OS X)
My new preferred pasteboard utility 
I've used a number of such utilities for years and years. I was a big iClip fan but development hasn't seemed to keep up since the last major version well over a year ago. Decided to give this product a try. Its now what I'm using daily to paste all kinds of useful data (I do tech support, its great for canned replies). I really love the ability to sync other machines, a feature request I've asked for and wanted from iClip. This was one reason why I 'switched' as I use different machines in the office and it was too much work to manually sync them. I was also running into issues with iClip preferences getting corrupted. PTH has been flawless. Well for one day, for whatever reason, it seemed to keep quitting on me. I emailed the author and get a reply quickly and for whatever reason, I'm happy to report the product has run fine since. The one feature I'd love to see is the ability to expand the entire text of a clip from the menu. It has a flyout that provides functionality for altering the text, I'd love to see another flyout menu that shows all the text in a clip. Currently the menu item only shows a fixed number of lines. But that's a minor point. Overall, this product is excellent. We'll see if iClip can move forward in functionality in which case, I might switch back. [alert admin]

Entourage Email Archive X 3.6.1 (Mac OS X)
Doesn't work with Entourage 2008
Hopefully we can expect and update soon (I just paid for the Leopard upgrade). I'm not finding anything on the site about this nor a way to contact the publisher about this. [alert admin]

SOHO Notes 6.5.4 (Mac OS X)
I pretty much agree with Peter Evans review. Its not prefect, I've found a few bugs but, overall, its a useful product. I really like the ability to capture data via context menu's and the part of the product I use all the time is the Flash Notes which are accessible from all applications. I did find a number of instances where for whatever reason, all the notes were missing. But its not too difficult to get the database updated from a backup which it makes or from my .Mac account. So, if the bugs get fixed, I'd give it a higher rating. And if some other product allowed me to access all my notes like Flash Notes, I might switch. But overall, its a decent program. [alert admin]

EasyFind 4.0.1 (Mac OS X)
At least unlike Spotlight, it works
Not sure what's up with Spotlight in Leopard but it just doesn't seem to work finding some items (and yes, I've rebuilt the damn thing). EasyFind is faster and, well it finds what I want. The price is right. I was really hoping Spotlight would be the deal this time out but nope. So EF is an excellent and functional substitute! [alert admin]

Default Folder X 4.0 (Mac OS X)
Not updating folder contents correctly
Just updated to 4.0. First, the ability to view the contents of doc's seems like its worth the small price to upgrade. That's working fine. On the other hand, the app isn't updating folders correctly for me. For example, I've got Word going, open a folder, click on a Word Doc and pick "Zip" the doc. It appears to do so but the new Zip doc doesn't show up in any view, you can't now select it or do anything with it. IF you move from that folder and back, the contents update and now you can see that indeed, DF zipped the doc. I've seen this in a few applications. Also, if you have folders and click on the little down arrow, nothing shows (no contents). [alert admin]

GraphicConverter X 6.0 (Mac OS X)
Look, I'm a Photoshop, Lightroom guy. I think I've used this product only a few times at most but the last time I used it, I was convinced it was worth every penny and would support the product forever. In a nutshell, I tried to open an old Photoshop file that Photoshop was unable to open. In a panic, I tried GC and it opened and resaved the document, after which, Photoshop of course had no further issues. Cheap insurance. This pup will open just about anything under the sun. For $20, no way I'm NOT going to have this as a utility to fall back on in rough times. [alert admin]

1Passwd 2.4.6 (Mac OS X)
In less than two days of use, I can see this is well worth every penny. Its saved me a lot of time so far and like the elegant solution provided both in the browser but the application used to configure the product. [alert admin]

I love it. But decide for yourself.
I can't say I love it, but I like it very much, did upgrade and do use the product on a regular basis. Never had an issue either with the software or the company. The upgrade fee, considering the cost new isn't all that attractive but I find the Flash Note to be invaluable. I simply could not switch to another similar product unless it had some system wide access to my notes. So, let's…

Drive Genius Tech Support is the best!
They are indeed! I tried to upgrade to version 2 but the web site wouldn't accept my v1 serial. I emailed tech support and got a fix in like an hour. Amazing! I think there's far more to this new release than just a new UI (for those complaining about the cost to upgrade).

That's odd, I'm running it on Leopard on several machines, no issues on this end. I have seen a few clips where when you hover over the bin, nothing shows. Only when you click Edit Text does it appear and remain thereafter. But this has only shown up in a few of dozens of bins. Not sure why.

Downloaded the Evaluation version
I think you're onto something. I on the other hand, paid $9.95 to get to the link to download and installed on two machines (one running Leopard) and it took the old serial number fine. So I may have wasted the money. Note too that PRIOR to the update, the Leopard machine ran the older version of Timbuktu just fine! I was able to move files from an older OS build to it and vise…

Hey Allume / Alladin / Stuffit / whatever—Please Stop!
I think your comments are spot on. I got version 11 for Intel native, never really used it. Vastly prefer to use the finder to Zip files. Fast, brain dead and works cross platform perfectly. I just don't see what I'd get for my $29.

Since updating to 6.3, the find has stopped working. Can't find any text either in the application or using FlashNotes.

Agreed. I did a Full Defrag on a Powerbook (3 hours) and my iMac (2 hours) and don't expect to do this again for some time (I'll use faster methods that don't require a boot to a different dis). The flexibility of the program is a real plus. Still, I wonder why this can't happen as a background process like the old (very old) DiskExpress (remember that one?). At idle, it would do it's number…
