Spamfire 1.6.2 (Mac OS X)

Filters no longer updated regularly?  

Seems like since a month or so before the 2.0 upgrade came out (which, thankfully I only tried that s**t in trial mode) the filter upgrades don't seem to happen. Basically I'm getting tons of spam let through Spamfire 1.6, whereas it used to stop all but 1-2 a week. Now it fails to stop all but 1-2 a day. And I paid for a lifetime filter update service. Lame.

QuarkXPress 6.1 (Mac OS X)

You want comments on the actual update? Sure...  

Yeah, I have this to say about it... I get a 59.2 MB updater file after downloading. When I try to use it, the Installer not only never asks me to authenticate, it gets as far as two items into the purported 1,361 before it bounces back to the screen with the "Update" button. No error message, no indication anything failed, save that 1,361 items should take a LOT longer to copy. Nothing on my HD never gets updated, as far as I can tell. Another Quark zinger, of course.

QuarkXPress 6.1 (Mac OS X)

Bad customer service - need I say more?  

Oh, but I will. Really, after the latest round of just trying to *buy* upgrades for Quark, and then trying to get the License Administrator and PC versions to work, I hope the entire Denver-based company and their Indian-outsourced contingent go to h**l. A simple license consolidation took the better part of eight weeks, people, to complete. Then, it took another solid two weeks to get the clunky Java-based License Administrator to work. The PC copies, which for some inexplicable reason couldn't be rolled into the serial number consolidation, would never install because whoever it was who took my upgrade order never bothered to encode the old serial numbers into the upgrade activation code. Another lost week of straightening that out. Frankly, I have NO interest in this update at all... I know it will cost me a week or two of pain. Maybe more. We are a large printing firm, and more and more I'm finding I can steer our customers away from the upgrade to QX 6 and toward ID 3. Slowly but surely Quark is deservedly having its lunch eaten. Good riddance, I say. They've abused their customers long enough. [alert admin]

PithHelmet 0.6.1 (Mac OS X)

Crashes Safari v1.0 (v85) on launch  

I had to remove the PithHelmet plugin before I could launch the new Safari. Fortunately, Safari was telling me it errored while trying to load PithHelmet, and then would quit. [alert admin]

JaneBUILDER for PHP 1.5.2 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)

Not saving pages?  

Just curious if this is because I haven't purchased the program yet, but I can't save my PHP pages. Essentially, after running through the tutorial, I get two saved files... the JB document, and a .php file. After saving, I can open the php file in BBEdit and it only has the open and close PHP tags, but not the bit of code I built. I can accept limits before shareware is registered, but it would be nice if it were documented this is how it works before I buy it. Or maybe it's a bug. I'll be emailing Jane tomorrow.

MP3 Rage 5.7 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)

CDDB Tagger doesn't handle long filenames?  

I can't get the CDDB Tagger to successfully use long file names. That's kind of a pain. Also, an Unexpected Quit when quitting. [alert admin]

All good for…  

OS X clients, but be sure you use that "Reboot Now" command after the automatic client update or forever hold your piece, i.e., you'll have to reboot them manually. As far as I can tell, you get one chance to do this "reboot now". OS 9 clients are not so lucky. There is no automatic update for those clients, and Software Update Control Panel tells me my software doesn't need updating for all but one of my OS 9 users so far. So I am locked out of clients that previously worked. Short shrift to OS 9 users, as usual. Even M$ has supported its older OS's for long after they've moved on. The archaic Windows NT *still* has updates, patches, etc. until later this year. [alert admin]
