Commander - Europe at War 1.0 (Mac OS X)
Poor customer service from Freeverse. 
You can see my post on the Napoleon at War page for the details. Suffice it to say, Freeverse is a very uncommunicative company, and doesn't really seem to stand by their products, or respond to pleas for help, at least in my experience. I would suggest that anyone purchase their products as a physical disk, maybe they'll actually send that out. Their online download is terrible, four days later I don't have the access code, nor my money, and no one will call me back or respond to my emails. [alert admin]

Commander: Napoleon at War 1.06 (Mac OS X)
I had a couple of down days and thought I would spend it with a good game, and this game might be good, I'll never know. Even though the site claims they take Discover, they don't, and so I went to get a gift card, an American Express. This also had problems, what kind I don't know. I sent an email to the customer support, they responded, asking for the last digits of the card. I was at work and didn't have it with me, so I suggested they refund my money. I later provided the last digits, but I don't know if they plan to refund the money or give me the code or neither. The web site is of little help- this is a quote from it: "Note, 6/22: Due to an e-mail issue, we're running a bit behind with our support queue. Apologies for the inconvience. We ask that you please bear with us, and we'll get in touch ASAP!" I was beginning to feel that I wasn't dealing with a very on the ball company here, especially since they don't seem to know how to spell "inconvenience". And don't know what credit cards they take. My phone calls the next day were unreturned by Paul, their representative, although the lady who answered the phone said he would call me back. I'm looking at having no product after a full Sunday and two later business days, and have no idea if they plan to refund my money or give me the product. I suppose they think so highly of their product that I should feel lucky if I ever get to use it, but I don't, and at the price- which is very high for a game of any kind- I think they could do better. A lot better. This is just my experience, I wanted to let folks know, since that's what this sort of thing is for. [alert admin]

Fission 1.5.2 (Mac OS X)
Rogue Amoeba is a very fine company with good products.
I use Audio Hijack Pro and have for some time- it's a great little app for anything such as recording a friend of mine when she was on the radio to grabbing sound effects for my projects. I couldn't imagine not having it. I also had bought Fission, but for whatever reason I never used it, since I typically use either pro applications such as Logic or Ableton, or I'll use Audacity for speed cutting and exporting of files. But yesterday I started using Fission, and it works great, very stable and it is fast fast fast... it only does one or two things, but it does them very well and if you are like me and you need to edit the good parts out of big audio files then Fission is your go to application. I can't believe I haven't been using it all the time. Give Rogue Amoeba a shot! [alert admin]

Carbon Copy Cloner 3.0.1 (Mac OS X)
I used it to clone my Mac drive to an external Firewire drive, so as to be able to use the external drive's Tiger 10.4.10 Disk Utility to fix some problems that developed on my Mac drive. The version on my install disk was unsuccessful, apparently it is still at Tiger 10.4.01 and unable to fix a problem with 10.4.10. Or that is what was suggested to me on the Mac forums. It worked, thank God, and saved me some money that I didn't really have which I was thinking would have to go towards Disk Warrior. There's my background. Carbon Copy worked great, it cloned about 130 GB's with absolutely no problems in a little over 2 hours. I haven't yet tried the auto backup, but you can be sure I will, and I imagine it'll be great. I've gotta give this guy ten bucks. Try it! It works! [alert admin]

SoundSoap 2.1.1 (Mac OS X)
Some times, it works well, and other times it's worse than before. Here are some hints: 1) Make sure you have a second or two of pure noise for it to isolate what it's to remove. Otherwise, it takes a slice of everything in the peice. It actually does that anyway, to a degree. 2) Understand the program does not know any more than that. 3) You can add a little bit of "shine" with the enhancer knob on the right (I forget exactly what it's called) but too much is artificial. Do not expect under any circumstances to turn the noise remover knob up more than halfway, or it's going to sound artificial. It'll under the best of situations only do so much- I mainly use it to get rid of room noise, with only partial success. That being said, it's only $75 dollars. If it works for you once or twice, it's worth that. But don't believe the hype. I certainly don't regret having purchased it, and would consider the Pro version. [alert admin]

As of the Fourth of July, my money is still tied up with Freeverse, who have not authorized the return of my money to American Express. Terrible company. Be very cautious. I also later got the game in a different manner. I never lost to it, it was slow, took hours to play, and the outcome was never in doubt that I would win. Lame company, lame product. Skip.
