TinyBooks 5.0.0 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)
I can't find any way to contact the company or Ken or whoever supports TinyBooks, there's no address, phone or even email link on their web site. None of the documentation notes whether or not checks can be printed and bills paid from within the application. Does anybody know? [alert admin]

MYOB AccountEdge 2004 7.5.4 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)
Because of the absence of good, solid business and accounting applications for Mac OS X, we have purchased a ridiculously inexpensive used Windows machine for under $120, cleaned out the hard drive, and our accountant will install their favorite Win biz app. This will be the only use of this machine, save for running a few small apps or opening stuff we used to use VPC for. We will connect this to our AirPort hub via the Ethernet port, and use the free Microsoft Remote Desktop Client on Mac OS X to open the Windows machine directly on our Mac desktops. Speed, stability and because the Win machine is not directly connected to the net and resides behind the Mac Firewall, we do not anticipate much in the way of internet viruses. Plus, our accountant and bookkeeper get to use their favorite application, which they already know the insides and outs on, we get a very inexpensive and feature-packed application that will do pretty much anything, it will cost about the same as an upgrade to MYOB (not counting no more VPC upgrades, which means we will actually save money), there's NO internet verification nonsense to stumble over, and we get to run it all on our Mac's monitors across the network (albeit small as it is).

MYOB AccountEdge 2004 7.5.4 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)
Once you install this, it's impossible to revert to past versions without manually re-entering your data, so be careful! We learned this the hard way. At launch, MYOB now demands that you verify that you are the registration holder via the internet each time the database has been changed. God only knows which port they open on your computer, and even if the data they transmit is encrypted or not - we spoke to an actual human being there (yes, they do exist!), and they have no idea. They tried to pawn off some lame excuse that this new system actually protects our data from being misused. Uh huh. Please note we have been MYOB customers for over 4 years, and we were running our business on this application. No longer. Bottom line this - MYOB does not trust their customers any longer. We have elected not to put our trust in MYOB. [alert admin]

Entourage Manipulator 1.1.3 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)
If only for FMP v7...we could really use something like this! [alert admin]

Sync Entourage-Address Book (Panther) 2.5.3 (Mac OS X)
Back up your Entourage Database before ever using this application. I set the preferences to "Entourage overrides Address Book" the very first time I synched the two. I only synched personal entries, no business contacts. On the second sync, two weeks later and inadvertently started by an associate, somehow the script decides that Address Book is the main event and while I'm away from my desk in the lab, proceeds to ERASE HUNDREDS OF BUSINESS CONTACTS from Entourage. Fortunately, I have a daily Database backup. A product such as this SHOULD NOT delete contacts, it should synchronize. It should NEVER, EVER DELETE. Be very careful using this program. As far as I am concerned, I am going to request that VISA bill Kagi back and refund my money. Outrageous behavior for a script... [alert admin]

SerialMailer 2.5.1 (Mac OS X)
This is precisely what we need to keep customers up-to-date on changing product specifications. Several confidential documents are obviously not posted to the web but delivered via email to key clients. When the spec changes to a new revision level, we need to notify those engineers working with the product, and who depend upon the latest and most accurate data to do their jobs. Mail is simply unacceptable from a business standpoint, and Entourage wraps mail, calendar and address book into one environment (to take advantage of Apple's Address Book for system wide services, we simply use Sync Entourage-Address Book to handle that automatically). Let us know if you decide to spin an Entourage version! [alert admin]

PMX 2.12 (Mac OS X)
The developer responded to an issue we were experiencing with 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 in OS 10.3 and 10.3.1, and responded immediately by sending a beta version of 2.1.3. We were so impressed by the response that we purchased two licenses prior to the fix. The program is fully operational and unlike other program plotters, it's simple to use and in minutes we had several development program's schedules ready for customer proposals and presentations. The export to JPEG, TIFF and PDF is flawless, and makes embedding into large Word, PPT and/or PDF documents simple. We highly recommend the product and the developer. [alert admin]

ASM 2.0.3 (Mac OS X)
overlays on top of OS menu items and then starts "blinking out" of the menu bar in 10.2. It takes the other menu items - Date, Sound, Modem - with it, and everything gets "whited" out. Clicking up there brings back the standard OS menu items but ASM then can't be found. Very frustrating, I used to use this all the time in 10.1. [alert admin]

I'd like to see message-level synchronization added... 
IMAP is there because Microsoft (and most other email apps, altho not all) refuses to treat email like individual documents, instead they roll them up into a larger database. While you can copy that database, you can't sync individual email. Therefore, email must be saved remotely so a pseudo form of synchronization can be accomplished on the client. That's what makes it so 1996. What would be more 2006, would be the innate and integrated ability…

Not helpful. Disabling indexing disables all searches. I want to still find a file by name, I just don't want Stoplight sticking it's nosey little algorithm into the content of my files. Why can't we turn CONTENT indexing off? And maybe get rid of that Microsoft-blue rectangle as well.

"...indescribably useful" ??? No, it's indescribably awful. A search for a file today returned 1,209 returns. It was actually easier to manually go and locate the file than to search through Stoplight's search returns. Looking for the same thing in 10.3.9, I received 3 returns, one of which was the file I was looking for and another, an alias of that file. Much faster, much more powerful. Power isn't about shock and awe it's about getting things…
