Cribbage Plus! 1.1 (Mac OS X)
At Long Last a Cribbage Game For Mac OSX 
I have played crib for some 50 years. On a Mac I started with a game which ran on my Mac Plus. With the advent of OSX the quality and availability of crib games went down the toilet. Some developers tried but it never amounted to much. This Developer has succeeded where others have failed. Not too fancy graphics not many bells and whistles. One is able to almost feel and imagine players around the kitchen table going at it hour after hour. The game plays just like one would if the cards were real. I am sure this may not suit all but most avid crib players are at this end of life. Nice and solid and it works without even thinking. The only down side to all this I can only award 5.5 stars out of 5. Pity !! [alert admin]

Apple QuickTime 7.6.4 (Mac OS X)
I have a G4 1.5 Ghz running 10.5.8 and Quicktime Pro 7.62 just fine. I have tried several times to install 7.64 quick time. It will download and mount the dmg, however when the installer is run it will not go past the disc selection screen. because it cannot find a disc to install it on. However when I lauch the dmg for 7.62 QuickTime then all is well. There is definately a problem here. [alert admin]

Fission 1.6.6 (Mac OS X)
Just like a Mac So Easy to use
Fission is Just like a Mac So Easy to use. I am certain there are more sound editors out there with more bells and whistles and more money. But for a grunt like me who knows next to nothing about sound editing this is so easy to use. Although it helps, one may even get away with not reading the Manual. Can anything be more Mac like than that ? Just super !!!! [alert admin]

Bookpedia 4.5.2 (Mac OS X)
This user of BookPedia & DVDPedia run a Church Library with about 2500 titles. We have all the issues associated with a Library operation in micro form. This software package and the support we get from the developer meets all our needs. As it is a Mac program teaching our volunteer staff how to use it is easy. Bottom line here is for anyone needing to run a small library operation like a Church library this will fit the bill. I am in Ontario Canada. Do a google search, it make take a couple of tries but I can be found if you want to talk. [alert admin]

Scrabble 1.0.1.4 (Mac OS X)
This piece of software is quite acceptable to begin with. However one soon realizes there are some major shortcomings. These become apparent as one starts to increase one's skill level. There are major holes in the ability of being able to work with the on board dictionary. There are bugs and omissions in the selection of user preferences. The documentation although complete in many respects is lacking in the area of the actual program's execution. For example, the interface of player and levels. This writer could continue with comment however it would be a waste of time. This program is circa 2005 and here we are 5 or 6 years later. A lot has changed in that time in the area of the machine and the OS which run it, not to mention the accepted verbiage in the language. It is my impression of MacGamehouse that they are aware they have here a cash cow. This is a well known product and a popular game, they are banking on that. Most people will pay there money and for a little while put up with the flaws but eventually move on to more polished products. For the Scrabble game there are Mac alternatives, perhaps not perfect but with improved execution. It is my hope the developer will read this review and decide that thought and action should be given to a major revamp of this product. This product in its current presentation by this developer is outstanding. However it needs to be updated and polished to meet the demands and expectations of today's Mac computer user. (Mid 2009) Respectfully submitted. [alert admin]

EasyFind 4.5 (Mac OS X)
Ever since this product came out it has been the method of choice for me. Its ability to get to very specific areas/files with ease, has for me been its greatest strength. [alert admin]

Mac DVDRipper Pro 1.3.1 (Mac OS X)
I have used This Package now for about 4 Months. Although I see some negative comments below, that has NOT been my experience. I have had Success in all I have tried. I use Pop Corn in tandem with this package on content I fully own and have rights to. For the duffer user like me it is simple straight forward and does the thinking for me. It seems to be a lot more straight forward than some other packages I have used. My only suggestion is perhaps some documentation could be considered. However the one and only time I got stuck customer support was forthcoming. I am fully aware writing documentation for this type of product is a mammoth task given the shear complexity of this area. Striking a balance between giving simple instructions and not getting bogged down in Tech-Ville is going to take the wisdom of Solomon. I certainly hope this developer continues to refine this offering. [alert admin]

Apple Safari 4.0.1 (Mac OS X)
Safari 4 nice but Crashes when visiting certain sites repeatedly. I have reverted to a version back and do not have the problems. Well I shall wait for the next issue before trying again. I just hope it has not affected the other parts of the Machine. I did replace the plist files for Safari using time machine copies prior to the update. [alert admin]

uCalendarX 3.2.2 (Mac OS X)
I really liked this program because it was very similar to what I had been using for years now. However I encountered some things that really turned me off. One --- The Price Seemed a bit steep, but if it was going to work the way I wanted, then ok I would have paid it. Two --- the documentation which is not there. Yes there is help in the "help menu", but very inadequate when one is trying to work out --- how something works, and that something is going to be used for years to come . You want to get it just right. The help menu is great for minor issues and problems but not for major set up. Still I was going to work with it and see if I could work out some more as I went along. Three -- The Straw that broke the Camel's back. I am very well aware that Canada is viewed as an afterthought to many developers. I tried very hard to work out how one would make a set of "holiday dates" for Canada. The lack of documentation came into play again. When I saw I was doing it all wrong and noticed the availability of other nations. That was it !!! I uninstalled the program and I shall go back to using the free Mom's Calendar which works sorta OK, not great. If you the developer read this comment Sir I hope you realize I was offended by this. We Canadians are 35 million strong. We are a very high tech group, just one example. The US space program would still be on the ground. Canada provided the Canada Arm plus a few astronauts .

Trash Management 99.9 % perfect
Additional Comment. Tech support is excellent on this product. Also the desktop trash image size may be adjusted larger/smaller -- click on the image while holding down the Control key to bring up the prefs selection plus more --

TYPO Sorry I guess Candians do not count. I installed the package and the shots are nice. But after the last three 3 weeks of bloody awful weather we are experiencing ((( OUR ))) first cloudless warm series of days. But not according to the weather channel we are mostly cloudy. So nice pictures are available elsewhere and accurate forecasts are also available elsewhere. This package now resides in File 13. Too Bad.

Does not work for Disney with ARccOS protection. HELP!
I had exactly the same issue. This is a strong suggestion which worked for me , contact MTR and ask them for the Beta version of MTR 3.0 . it does seem to resolve the problem.

Use a program like wiretap pro/ audio HiJack for MP4s. I do it all the time for the Audio Books to get them into MP3 works like a charm.
