Witch 1.0.2 (Mac OS X)
I agree -- I'll pay for it too!
I completely agree with the previous poster about this becoming a killer app if the delay can be removed. I keep checking the status of Witch, hoping to see an update some day. I've emailed the developer directly but received no reply. Just like the previous poster, I'll gladly pay $20 for this utility. I'll pay to get work restarted. I'm completely serious. If the developer writes back that they're working on updating Witch and that the delay can in fact be reduced, I'll pay up front! [alert admin]

SlimBatteryMonitor 1.2 (Mac OS X)
Great little utility; request 2 changes 
It's terrific and I would use it in my menu bar, but like other people, I wish (1) you command-mouse-click drag it to another position in the menu bar (like other utilities like MenuMeters) and (2) lower memory consumption. The latter is probably going to be really hard, because I've never seen a GUI app on the Mac use less than 200+ MB of VM. Still, I keep hoping... Were it not for those two issues, I would keep this in my menu bar and pay a donation to the author. It's otherwise a really cool utility. [alert admin]

MenuMeters 1.2 (Mac OS X)
This is such a good little program. I put up a minimal display of just CPU percentage, to tell me when something is running amok in the background. It's so perfect for what it does, I just went over to paypal and donated $10. Thank you to the developer(s) for their excellent work! [alert admin]

iTaskX 2.0.2296 (Mac OS X)
But why not FastTrack Schedule?
freevito: have you tried FastTrack Schedule? How does it compare to this or to Intellisys Project Desktop? [alert admin]

recorder.xhead 3.0 (Mac OS X)
This app's rating should be much higher. I tried it and it works very well for what is intended. Better than several others I've tried. My only suggestion at this point is that it would be nice if it had a few more controls and a volume display. (Take a look at the voice recording facility in NoteTaker to see what I'm thinking of.)

HELIOS Xtar 1.0 (Mac OS X)
Doesn't preserve mod times on directories
This is a good idea, but the current implementation seems to suffer from a problem: it doesn't preserve the mod times of directories in the archive when it creates the archive. For a test, try the following: xtar cf - /bin | ( cd /tmp ; xtar xvf - ; mv /tmp/bin /tmp/bin-xtar-xtar ) tar cf - /bin | ( cd /tmp ; tar xvf - ; mv /tmp/bin /tmp/bin-tar-tar ) xtar cf - /bin | ( cd /tmp ; tar xvf - ; mv /tmp/bin /tmp/bin-xtar-tar ) tar cf - /bin | ( cd /tmp ; xtar xvf - ; mv /tmp/bin /tmp/bin-tar-xtar ) ls -ld /tmp/bin-* You will find that both of the versions created with xtar as the starting command result in directories in /tmp with mod times (incorrectly) equal to the time at which the command was executed. The versions start with regular tar produce directories with mod times correctly set to the times of the original directories. This needs to be fixed before xtar can be used. Testing performed on a MacOS 10.3.3 system, latest security fix (2004-04-05), on a desktop G4 dual-processor. MH [alert admin]

VLC media player 0.6.2 (Mac OS X)
(MacOS 10.2.6 on a TiBook.) I just VLC after spending over an hour trying to get Apple's dvd player to play a disc that kept causing dvd player to crash after the previews that the disc forces you to watch. I tried everything I could think of -- turning off extensions, rebooting, running nothing except dvd player, etc. So I tried VLC for the hell of it, and presto, not only did it run the disc flawlessly, but it enables operations like fast-forward that *didn't* work under Apple's dvd player. Fantastic! Thank you! [alert admin]

NoteTaker 2003 1.1.3 (Mac OS X)
awesome program. I use it daily for all my notes, my diaries, everything. It's the kind of notebook program I've wanted to find for years. It lets you pull all kinds of data (text, images, etc.), organize them into pages with outlines, have live links to documents on your disk and on the net, and many more features than I can summarize here. Plus it has features that are hard to find in any program, such as the auto-indexing system, voice recorder, etc. And the support team is incredible. They always reply to feedback within a day, and many of my suggestions have been incorporated into NoteTaker since version 1.0.0. This is one of the best values for a shareware fee that I've ever had in two decades of using computers. [alert admin]

LiteSwitch X 1.1 (Mac OS X)
the other reviewers' complaints, and find LiteSwitch to be an excellent utility. First, although it is true that command-tab is available in 10.2.2, its usability is poor. I find that having the applications switched using the doc is slow (it has to animate the doc sliding into place, then if you have magnification on, the icon has to zoomed up), and the application titles are hard to read when you have a lot of windows and other elements on the screen. (Remember, the doc app titles are written in white characters with black shadows. What color are most windows? Yeah, white. What color is most text in those windows? Black. I have good eyesight, but it still takes a splitsecond for me to read the white letters on windows filled with black text on white background.) Second, the command-tab switcher in 10.2.2 does not switch in the reverse order when you hold the shift key down. This is a fantastic feature and once you use it, you miss it immediately when it's not available. I previously bought Keyboard Maestro solely because it implemented a similar style of command-tab application switching. But then I discovered that Keyboard Maestro no longer did its thing for command-tab in OS 10.2.2. I tried the default command-tab in 10.2.2 but it drove me nuts. On a tip from a reviewer, I tried LiteSwitch. It's *wonderful* -- better than Keyboard Maestro's command-tab implementation, IMHO, and I gladly paid the registration fee for the usability and productivity improvements that LiteSwitch provides.
