PDFKey Pro 3.7.5 (Mac OS X)
Still great after all these years 
Three years ago (25AUG2005) I gave a 5-star rating to PDFKey Pro. I still give it 5 stars. Every month or so, I need to unlock a PDF and this software always does the job for me. The price is right and the application is trivial to use. Sometimes, a single-purpose tool is the best. [alert admin]

Odysseus 1.0 Beta 2 (Mac OS X)
The goal is admirable: duplicate the feature/functions of Eudora (which I have used since 1995). This version is not a 1.0 release in my opinion. It is closer to a 0.8 release. Many features of Eudora are still "under development". The developers are working very hard and deserve a huge pat on the back for taking on this project. I will wait and look forward to being able to give them money for a real 1.0 version. [alert admin]

Chandler 0.7.7 (Mac OS X)
Not even close to being ready for prime time 
I thought I would give it a try as I am looking at PIM alternatives. Chandler is worthless in its current state. It is a PIM without any ability to manage contacts. What is the point? [alert admin]

Project Timer Pro 1.1.2 (Mac OS X)
From the developer's website:
"1/29/08 Message from the creators of Project Timer and Project Timer Pro to all users.
We want to fulfill all your desires for Project Timer but...
The world is changing. Many things have happened since we created Project Timer. One enormous change is that applications are now being built on the net. ... As of now we are ceasing development so if you get to this page and you are pondering downloading and trying Project Timer for the first time it is still here, but we recommend you also go and try FreshBooks."

Captain FTP 5.3019 (Mac OS X)
Still excellent after all these years
In May of 2005, I wrote this about Captain FTP after having used it for about a month. "Captain FTP is an excellent product. After years of experience with WS_FTP Pro on Windows, I found the Captain to be very user friendly. I have found email support to be very responsive." Three years later, I am still happy with my decision to use Captain FTP. I recently found a bug and they fixed it within 1.5 days. So, support is still very responsive. And, the product has way more features than I will ever use. That is good also. Captain FTP is highly recommended. [alert admin]

AppShelf 1.0 (Mac OS X)
This looks like a very useful product for the casual Mac user. Let's be honest. We all purchase and install more software than we can keep track of. Losing a serial number can cost way more than this excellent little app. This app does one thing and that is good. [alert admin]

Miro 1.0 (Mac OS X)
Version 1.0 is much improved over earlier, less stable versions. This software is very easy to use in the "BitTorrent" world. [alert admin]

Intuit QuickBooks Pro 2007 9.0.5 R6 (Mac OS X)
R6 + Tiger 10.4.11 works for me
I am running Mac OS 10.4.11 and installed QuickBooks Pro 2007 for Mac Release 6 today. So far, so good. Everything appears to be working correctly. [alert admin]

MonitorTest 2.1 (Mac OS X)
MonitorTest does exactly what it states. It helps you find the "bad" pixels on a screen. It helps you judge the color rendition overall. It does one thing and does it well. The price is very reasonable. I only use this software about 3 times a year, but when I need it, it is there. [alert admin]

Demo doesn't work on a secure American Express site
I have owned 1Password since the beginning and it works for me at the AMEXCO website. I just tested it again this morning.

I have been using Fusion for 10 months. I have Windows XP Home installed and it works quite well. I actually find Fusion a tad easier to use than Parallels. And, I find that the Support areas for both products are not user friendly.

I am hoping that this succeeds
I hope http://www.infinitydatasystems.com/products/odysseus/ can make it work. They seem to be serious and moving at a decent speed.

Rickcoona, You should take a look at Advanced PDF Password Recovery - 4.0. It is a Windows program. I have used it and it is very powerful. Those nice Russian boys have created a tool so good that Adobe had one of them arrested when he visited the USA. ,dave

I have been using WebnoteHappy since the beginning and have always used it with Firefox. Works great. This product does EXACTLY what I want it to do. Save bookmarks in a simple searchable database.

would be very good if .htaccess would be supported
I agree. While I only have one site with .htaccess control, it is very annoying that I have lost the auto login for that site.

Parallels is owned by SWSoft ( http://www.swsoft.com ). One of their other products is Plesk which has a hug market share. Now, SWSoft is privately held, so no financial data are available. But, I am pretty sure they are solvent. I suspect what we are seeing vis à vis response times is due to overload. Mac sales are up. I suspect that Parallels sales have exploded beyond anything they staffed up for. ,dave

GyazMail will not Replace Eudora Yet
"Mailboxes are Account specific. With 12 different accounts I check, this becomes redundant and a hassle..." I agree. I played with GyazMail and noticed this feature immediately. Very frustrating for a 10+ year Eudora user.

Corrupt Disk Image or Application File
This WAS true.
It was fixed within about 4 hours of the announcement of the update.
