iBackup 6.4.1 (Mac OS X)
This lousy excuse of a backup utility backed up a little test folder I made and wiped out of the rest of the data on the disk (10GB). I doubled checked all the settings - it’s only sleazy iBackup to blame. The only thing to do is to worn you guys from this of low-end product. [alert admin]

XC Connect 3.3 (Mac OS X)
At the developer's web site it is stated "You may purchase any number of licenses for either XC Connect or XC Vault, but the minimum inital purchase is 5." This means $350 for 5 licenses when I need only one ..... [alert admin]

Groupcal 3.94 (Mac OS X)
Anyone knows of an alternative ? 
After a few months of usage - when there are more than just a few occurrences to sync - it takes forever (easily 20 minutes or more). But of course that if I'll disconnect the laptop from the net, the entire sync will be destroyed .... So if anyone knows of an alternative (that supports 10.5 at times when Apple thinks of 10.6 already), PLEASE let me know. [alert admin]

Apple Safari 3.1.1 (Mac OS X)
Major improvement ! Quite a few sites that I was never able to browse with previous versions of Safari are now available (although there are still some site that cause Safari to quit). [alert admin]

Groupcal 3.94 (Mac OS X)
As Groupcal screwed my settings for the fourth time in the last 4 months (including duplicating iCal calendars), and again I had to use the annoying menus to set up the synchronization protocol (I have snapshots of the settings since there is no way to backup these), now I have time to write down this review (I hope that this time Groupcal will not duplicate events on the server, as my secretary is already annoyed with me using a Mac). I read Groupcal whining about Apple’s 10.5 (not too convincing), but this might give them opportunity to fix basic bugs, one such is to postpone logout or restart when Gropucal is synching. I don’t really blame Groupcal, its the company’s poor choice of MS exchange server that makes our life difficult (Windows user too). My recommendation below is "don't use the product if you don't have too", but there's no competition ... [alert admin]

BibDesk 1.3.14 (Mac OS X)
The automatic cite key generation is not permiting me to manually change the cite key to anything that I want (either automatically correct (when I choose OK) or enforce the automatically generatged key (when I choose CANCEL)). Please fix that for those times that I want to manually fix the cite key. Thanks .... (This is one of the best programs ever been written). [alert admin]

Textures 2.2.0b6 (Mac OS X)
Back in the “classic OS” days I worked with textures. It was OK (no more than ****), it was expensive - but we didn’t have too many choices. I frequently used my mac as a terminal under neighboring UNIX mainframes to enjoy the wealth of the LaTeX editors. Nowadays, with the wealth of LaTeX options available for macs, some of them actually leaving textures in the dust, I am not going to even bother with the trial version (I do have my old code somewhere).

Netscape is a reliable and neat browser, and some M$-made pages look better in Netscape than they do in Safari. Regarding ASK.UK - why use a Google-clone when the real thing is available - thanks but "not for me"

Why indeed. I used Textures in classic (r.i.p.), was a very neat TeX editor. However, I don't recall if at that time we had any other TeX alternatives for Macs. The situation is different today and Textures developers will have to work very very ... very hard to convince me to pay $100 when I can get an awesome editor like Texshop for free (and there are other Mac editors as well, and we can…

The Germans ALWAYS do everything right and Mellel politically rubs you the wrong way. You are either extremely ignorant or one of THOSE who really believe that the Germans always did everything right. I suppose that the first choice is the right one as "it is good" in German is "es ist gut".

Have no problem with printing ...
Printers (two of them) are connected via USB to the host MAC mini and are useable all the time from both the guest PC, the host MAC mini, as well as from the PB that uses them in a share mode. The printers are of course shared on the host MAC.

Still little support for technical writers
Yep. You are more than right - Mellel is not for the technical community - I wrote it a few times. I use LaTeX with Texshop to write articles (the only real option for technical writing) and migrated to a more flexible application for shorter and less professional documents that include Graphics and MathType.

The two years period is FROM the day I purchased Mellel OR FROM the day I upgraded it for the last time. This is confusing and the data in Mellel's site is confusing as well.

The difference between JPGs and music files is that music files you mostly use within itunes and only seldom need it in other applications (unless you are a musician). The JPGs I use all over around and many times embed it in my reports and other projects. Since not all the programs are "smart" like iPhoto, it happens that you need to access the file the "traditional" way. Now if I HAVE TO LEARN how…
