PinPoint 3.0b15 (Mac OS X)

Cross-hairs now fail in 3.0b15  

That's it. Cross-hairs worked well in beta 14 but now do not come up in beta 15. Using Leopard 10.5.2. [alert admin]

Ready,Set,Go! 7.7.6 (Mac OS X)

v7.7.6 a Winner  

Lots of new items, yet to be fully explored, but the amazing thing is the still-tiny footprint. Where other similar applications get more bloated with time, RSG! quietly goes its own way. I started with it in 1988 and it's never failed me. [alert admin]

PinPoint 3.0b14 (Mac OS X)

PinPoint Back on Track  

Yeah. Loads on Start-up or Login. I've tried most alternatives and all work as expected. It took a few tries but finally the penny dropped that you need to 'Stop' and then 'Start' when changing the Pointer style; logical though. All this with Leopard 4.5.1 too. Highly recommended for all users. Thanks. Cross-hairs are nice too. [alert admin]

Toast Titanium 8.0.3 (Mac OS X)

Toast Ti 803 fails to unzip.  

From VersionTracker, I have downloaded two copies Toast 803, received the 'Toast_Ti_803_166_Update.zip' file and attempted to unzip them both, and one copy fro Roxio which failed. Each time this failed with the alert: "An error occurred attempting to expand 'Toast_Ti_803_166_Update.zip'. Format error. Error #17540" ----------------- [alert admin]

Firefox 2.0.0.7 (Mac OS X)

Firefox 3.0 Download  

There is a box sponsored by Google on the right-hand side of the VT page for downloading Firefox 2.0.0.7. It states 'download Firefox3 ... ' Clicking provides a download only for version 2.0 Link needs a check I suggest. [alert admin]

PinPoint 3.0b6 (Mac OS X)

PinPoint 3.0b6 Installer getting back on track  

The Beta 5 installer was a disaster but it is now fixed, hopefully for the future too. My personal preference now is to enlarge the normal Mac arrow pointer using System Preferences>Universal Access, and then applying PointPoint. After using 'Burst' for some weeks, I've found it is great. But, when making a public presentation, one of the older stationery Targets is preferred - for ease of viewing by spectators. Excellent application; thanks, but keep working on the Install method please. Used with OS X 10.4.8 on Intel MacBook. [alert admin]

Problem solved!  

Having just downloaded the final version of NWEx 2.7, and dragged the installer icon into Applications, I noticed that one of the first items shown in the progress screen was about transfer of the original licence information. Very neat and no hassle.

still a no-go  

I'll wait til reports say speed is OK. Very expensive for shareware. Early versions were OK.
