MacSecret 1.1 (Mac OS X)
Highly recommended for Palm users 
MacSecret is a great addition for Palm users who want to store confidential information on their TREO or PDA. I use the the Palm app "Secret!" since years and I am now able to manage my confidential data on the Mac and sync it to my TREO. Great work, thanks to the developers! [alert admin]

Parallels Desktop 3.0 Build 5580 (Mac OS X)
I can highly recommend Parallels 5580
Wow, I'm impressed. After having installed Parallels Desktop 3.0 Build 5580 I dind't expect very much. But seems Parallels worked hard because this version rocks. I am even able now to use my Treo 650 Smartphone remotely on my Mac via USB and PDA Reach (for Windows) for the first time - in Parallels' Coherence mode - best of both worlds - so convenient and cool! Since Parallels so far never was able to handle this USB task I wanted to switch to VM Ware Fusion. But with Parallels' Build 5580 this isn't necessary any more. Parallels Build 5580 is now very snappy and fast again so I have no reason for switching any more. In a perfect world I would wish that it would support both processors of my MacBook Pro Core2Duo - but hey, who's perfect? I can highly recommend Parallels Desktop now again - it's worth every Dollar! Cheers from Switzerland Jo [alert admin]

Apple Mac OS X 10.5 (Mac OS X)
WARNING: MacBook Pro keyboard not recognized any more with Leopard!
After a smooth install process of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard my MacBook Pro did a restart as expected but after the restart the keyboard of my MacBook Pro isn't recognized any more - which means I haven't any chance to fil in my start up password and access my Mac! For heaven's sake I have a working Boot Camp partition so at least I were able to use my Mac via Windows now - and can warn you here. Be prepared! [alert admin]

VMware Fusion 1.0RC1 (Mac OS X)
Wasted 6 hours for getting a blue screen...
Due to that "great reviews" here I uninstalled Parallels and also tested VMware Fusion today, because I wanted use my Core2Duo processors at its optimum. Result: I wasted 6 hours of time to get only a blue screen when trying to start Win XP with VMware Fusion - which often seems to be a problem with this beta software if one also uses a Boot Camp partition - as one can see using a Google search. If one searches there one will see that for that problem with VMware Fusion there is no clear solution at this time :-(( Enough time burned today, never change a running system... Cheers Jo [alert admin]

Parallels Desktop 3.0 build 4560.0 (Mac OS X)
I went back to Parallels 2.5 today. I even bought the upgrade to 3.0 but using also Boot Camp most new features of 3.0 are not available, 3D support is only for some apps available and also doesn't fit with my needs - so 2.5 is slimmer. And yes, I also tested VMware Fusion today, wasted 6 hours of time to get only a blue screen when trying to start Win XP with VMware Fusion - which seems often to be a problem with this beta software if one also uses a Boot Camp partition - as one can see using a Google search. Enough time burned today, never change a running system... Cheers Jo [alert admin]

Heuris MPEG Power Professional 2.5 (Mac OS X)
The Benchmark of MPG1 software encoders for Mac
I bought this "Benchmark of MPG1 software encoders for Mac" some years ago and couldn't live without it. The only downside: It's a pity that the software isn't developped any more. Especially working together with Quicktime and the user interface could be improved. [alert admin]

HP PSC 2200 7.9 (Mac OS X)
Smooth update process, nice new interface, German localized version - works fine for me and really surprised me since my printer is already 4 years old and still supported by HP with new software, great! Only one little disappointment: When using the new software set for the first time, I saw a "Scan with OCR" feature - which doesn't work. Since there is no readme or other hint for the reason why I had to search on my own and finally read on a website that OCR is only possible if one has installed it with the original CD which came with the printer.

Don't do it! I've downloaded and installed VM, spent more than 5 hours in repairing my system after getting only a blue screen triggered by VM - it's still beta, so I wouldn't recommend using VM. I downgraded Parallels to version 3214 - seems the best solution for the moment. Cheers from wise guy Jo ;-)
