Presentation Prompter 4.1.1 (Mac OS X)
Most computer-based prompter tools give the operator a separate control screen that shows the text correctly and includes the speed controls. I have an ancient prompter that still runs in System 7 on an old LC3 that does this. I cannot find anything in the information or the demo for PresentationPrompter that says this fundamental feature is available. Without a control panel, I find it impossible to run this for my clients. I suppose I could get accustomed to the inverted-reversed display but if I'm going to buy prompter software, I'd rather have this feature on board. david boise ID [alert admin]

Secret Generator 1.0.4 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)
…but it works. No nonsense, just push the button. Not enough controls for my specific needs but there's nothing inelegant about the design. david [alert admin]

GenPass 1.5.2 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)
Yes, it works exactly as advertised and it's free. But it's very well-designed. I have a problem with the button labeled "+KeyChain"[sic] and this represents one of the fundamental issues between programmers and users. App writers need to dumb their stuff down to the level of the average user or their work is wasted on a niche that probably doesn't need their work. The Macintosh Keychain, cool as it is, can be fatally dangerous in the wrong hands. This button merely adds the generated character string to your Keychain as an unassigned password. What's the average user going to do with that? There is no need for a slider to choose the number of characters in the generated password. Not quite enough control for me, I need to be able to lock out or include certain characters. david [alert admin]

RPG 1.6 (Mac OS X)
This is probably the best of the lot. I disagree with the use of terms like "schema." Words like that, even if appropriate, needlessly geek up what should be a completely transparent application. Apps like this need to be dumbed down way below the expertise level of the writer. It works, it's easy to use but it's not as easy to modify and manage as it could be. david [alert admin]

RLPassWeb 1.2 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)
Requires no local software. This is just a URL to an automated site that generates passwords for you when you push one of the buttons. There are two URLs producing different levels of complexity, take your pick based on your security needs. No hassle, wrks exactly as described but may not satisfy your particular IT security requirements. You will need to replace one or more of the characters depending on your needs. david [alert admin]

Pass It On 1.2 (Mac OS X)
The GENERATE button never becomes active. The interface is needlessly geeky, not a very good Macintosh application at all. Your password parameters must be entered as a set of weird symbols. More useful password tools use radio buttons or text input. this needs a bunch of work, don't bother to download it. david [alert admin]

PasswordPress 1.1 (Mac OS X)
We require a certain number of special characters in our passwords. This app, while fully capable, does not give us that option. But it's nice and it's fast and it's free. bogie [alert admin]

MAGpie 2.0 (Mac OS X)
Pros: Not many. It's free. It's commendable. MAGpie works and it can move your client's media projects into the 21st century be providing captioning or audio descriptors. Lots of text formatting options and, once you make the huge effort to understand how it works, MAGpie will handle most of the caption segmentation for you. Cons: A sloppy port from a Windows SDK, MAGpie looks and feels like it was developed by a committee of doctorate candidates who felt they had to creaate everything from scratch using only what they could remember from the good ol' days of DOS. The interface and operation follow no known paradigms; it's a complete disaster that no Macintosh OSX fan will ever want to use. Open MAGpie at your peril. Useful and free, it is also inexusably frustrating and dull. The output consists of two files but you will also need the original movie file so the output is really three files. One is an .smil file (that QT will not recongize until you manually truncate it to an .sml file). The other is a qt.txt file. When you open the .sml into QT Player, it marries the original QT movie file with the text file and dislays the text as an extension below the regular window. Magic? Yes, but a waste of time for most media situations because, try as hard as could with QT Pro and Cleaner, the married files cannot be exported as a single, composited movie. david bogie boise ID [alert admin]

Sorry, my mistake. This is appears to a little HTML doc that lives on your drive and performs the generation task within your browser. I do not understand these things. I just push buttons. david
