REALbasic 2009.3.0 (Mac OS X)

Continued Hogwash  

Some 600 people clicked a link on this web site and that makes it a "top peoples choice"?? This is typical of this company. Smoke and mirrors. It is not helpful and courteous to ignore someone who paid for a professional version and cannot even get a response to an email. Don't waste your time unless you already love the program.

REALbasic 2009.3.0 (Mac OS X)

If you are a basic fanatic why not. Otherwose why bother.  

Worst customer service on the planet. Yeah we fixed 200 bugs but let's not talk about the 2000 we didn't. After taking my money two years ago I was ignored completely through my 12th email where I gave up and moved on. Don't bother unless you have a basic (pun intended) need. [alert admin]

FileMaker Pro Advanced 10.0 (Mac OS X)

Let Down  

I do like and use FIlemaker but this release is a disappointment. Changes to a UI, reports, script triggers and other minor changes are far less than users should expect. With so many specific request for so long (such as easier dialog boxes and improved portals) this release may please some but disappoint many. [alert admin]

OnyX 1.9.0b1 (Mac OS X)

Beta??  

This may be the greatest thing since sliced bread but why in the world would I try a program that messes with my system that is labeled BETA! [alert admin]

Google SketchUp 6.0.277 (Mac OS X)

Poor release, poor customer service  

The program is significantly slower that version 5. It treats groups and symbol visibility different and creats havoc with older files. I sent four emails and three phone calls about the upgrade key not working and a week later no personal response and only a note on the site "we are working on it". The previously owned company was much more custormer responsive and would never have released a version with som many bugs [alert admin]

FileMaker Pro 8.0 (Mac OS X)

Too much for too little  

With so many things that could have been added and asked for for years in some cases this should have been 7.5 and not a full version upgrade. Too greedy for my support. I will have to wait until real improvements are made to pay for an upgrade. [alert admin]

Still no toolbox access to speak of - to slow - to limited, I'll pass  

I purchased version 5 and found that the ability to go cross plaform was nothing for me compaired to the inability to use direct toolbox calls on the Macintosh. Too slow, to many limitations. I'll keep waiting... [alert admin]

FutureBASIC 7.0 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)

I have owned…  

and used almost every basic language and development system ever made for the Macintosh and PC platforms. This is by far the best. Easy and powerful for the beginner. Almost completely open source for the advanced user. Tight code. Fast. If I could only own one this would be it. Keep up the good work. [alert admin]

The truth about REALbasic (extended)  

What hogwash. We fixed over 200 bugs. Shhhh, don't mention we have over 2000 more. This is the worst development platform I have ever experienced in 30 years with computers. With the worst customer service anywhere. After taking my money two years ago they have refused to answer over a dozen emails about problems. This would be a waste of time.

Roxio Is Starting to Act Like Microsoft & Apple  

Give me a break. Charging for a download is worth zero stars. It is enough to prevent me from purchasing and enough to encourage me to spread the word this is not a company to purchase software from

Version 11.7a?  

Thanks for pointing out the version resource error on the program. I will correct the problem and upload a version with that resource corrected. Since you took the time to comment (I appreciate that) I would like to know more of what you mean by simplifying the update process. Please respond to dabs@mycalendarsoftware.com if you have the time. That email should be functioning by the 29 of Aug. Thanks again…

Note file conversion  

The images in the current version are unlimited size and color depth image resources that replace the previous 32x32 icons that were used. There is no way to continue using the outdated small icons in the future versions.

IT DOESN'T EXIST!  

My most sincere apologies to those of you who have supported My Calendar for years by your purchases. We were moved from our former domain by what can be described as a hostle takeover. The new domain - mycalendarsoftware.com is now up and functioning. We are back....
