VersionTracker Pro 4.5.1 (Mac OS X)
Under Snow Leopard VT just doesn't work. It will scan my drive and point to updates. That still happens. But I can't use it to acquire the updates anymore since it freezes after almost any two actions i take with it. My experience, unlike some others, is that VersionTracker has been working very very well over the past 18 months or so. There are still some real oddities, but generally it downloads and installs most updates very well. It never occurred to me, however, that it was no longer supported and that the things that still bothered me would never be fixed. That's my feeling now after seeing the job CNET did with MacFixit forums... I would love to be wrong. [alert admin]

RCDefaultApp 2.0.1 (Mac OS X)
Wonderful for basic default settings! 
I think this has been unfairly criticized here. It isn't a complete re-working of the OSX file system. It's a way to set default applications for basic files. The fact that it can't parse various editions of individual Adobe packages isn't a fault at all. It simply isn't designed to do that and doesn't claim to. I think we should criticize software if it doesn't perform as advertised, but not because it doesn't have a feature you happen to want. [alert admin]

iClock 3.0.5 (Mac OS X)
iClock was working all right under Leopard until I decided to adjust the font of the date/time display. It changed to an analog clock, refused to post the date, and changed the preference back to analog clock no matter how many times i tried unchecking it and entering date/day preferences. Phooey.

TNEF's Enough 2.0 (Mac OS X)
Wonderful! But Broken under Leopard
Just does not work under Leopard. Drag and drop does nothing. Launching and dropping a .dat file on the icon does nothing. Sad. Hope for an upgrade or alternative! Anyone know another utility that handles these things. I think Josh is the only programmer who has dealt with it. Sigh. [alert admin]

VersionTracker Pro 4.1 (Mac OS X)
I've been using this for a long time now - several years anyway. For months it has been useful only occasionally because it crashes during or at the end of scans. Now it crashes on launch! You have sold software that simply does not work, and obviously this a general problem. What's going to happen, good old trusty Mac people??? [alert admin]

VersionTracker Pro 3.5.3 (Mac OS X)
Some product info doesn't load
Don't recall this happening often until the past few months... probably with the 3.5.3 version, but could have been before as well.... In almost every session, some of the product information will not display when I highlight a product. Sometimes it displays after a very long delay. Often it will not display at all. Usually the product above or below will display perfectly. Often this afflicts more than one product. Have not done exhaustive testing, but seems to affect only updates that have not been downloaded. Today these three will not display info (or the link to the VT web entry): iClock2, CopyWrite, and Process. [alert admin]

SpamSieve 2.2.4 (Mac OS X)
icon is of course an option. Should have known. This, I agree, is one of the best pieces of software ever! [alert admin]

SpamSieve 2.2.4 (Mac OS X)
I need to know whether this is an option or a "feature" before installing this version. Nothing would compensate for being annoyed by a bouncing icon every time I sweep for mail (every 15 minutes - with a lot of volume). [alert admin]

Dangerous Mines 1.0b17 (Mac OS X)
Very nice but over-priced and odd trial behavior 
The graphics and sounds and functionality of this program are all excellent. It's fun and addictive, and everything works as it should. There are a wealth of environment options, and the game feels good. Problems for me were that it did not give me a full 30-day trial and that it seems awfully expensive. Trial was more like 10 days (although I lost count). And $25 seems a pretty hefty tarrif for a game of mindsweeper. Maybe it just hit me at the wrong time, but the price point just seems off to me. I started to buy it, but I balked. $14.95 seems more like it. I think they would sell a lot at that price. Maybe even $19.95. $24.95 feels as if I'm being gouged. That's it. If the cost is no object, you'll probably be happy with it. [alert admin]

Minerva IRC 1.3b1 (Mac OS X)
Correct previous review mistake
I posted a 1-star review yesterday based on bad customer service and then learned it was a misunderstanding. Pay attention to other comments for an idea of how well you will like the program. This 5-star rating is just to correct that mistake, which i cannot delete completely. I have no complaints about it. Very attractive interface. More features in some ways than Ircle. Only thing I found it doesn't have is the ability to display full IP info in the list of Users. I had to get info on each individually. There may be an option I didn't find though. [alert admin]

So you're rubbing it in again? The page is an abomination. I'm stunned that a company like VMware would allow this to happen. one happy thought is that they underestimated demand by a large margin. it's the first major upgrade for a long time, while their user base has probably expanded considerably.

That's very good to hear! I may need to trash the negative review I just wrote, but my updates do not work either and have not for the past month or so. Best, - Bill

4.5.1 keeps freezing - unfit for SnowLeopard
So happy someone posted this. My problems started in earnest about a month ago. I don't run VT very often these days.... Complete freeze after one or two downloads or one or two of any action - including skipping a version. Very frustrating. To be fair, it now installs most updates flawlessly, and I have grown to love it a lot. Now if it only worked. :) Has anyone else noticed that it mis-identifies some software as well?

Thank you!!! It hasn't been working for weeks, and your little tip just fixed it completely!

Works for me except that icons are generic for most prefpanes. No problems calling up a pref pane though.

Not compatible with Tiger (10.4)
Thanks for the hard work and the commitment for the update. Hope May 7 still feels realistic!

Retrospect The saddest loss - A Rant from a long time user.
In the old days, you could call and get good help from them. I think that's the only reason I ever learned how really to work the program. The help files were never informative, and the manual was always oddly written. I THINK it's working all right for me backing up to hard drive files, but I have not attempted a restore yet. These comments have been making me very very nervous.

Thanks! I just realized I could check that in the current preferences. Should have known better anyway. This actually makes an interesting point in your favor though. I check preferences and read manuals pretty religiously. SpamSieve works so well that it has never occurred to me to check into the preferences before. That's why I didn't know about the notification. Actually, there is some interesting stuff in there. :) Thanks for a brilliant life-saver program. I used one…
