DiskWarrior 4.1.1 (Mac OS X)

Temporary file location  

/private/tmp/tmpDW411ImagepNdvp0.dmg I really wish Alsoft would SIMPLY allow us to update our DiskWarrior application, without having to update the original CD. What an incredible waste of time. Great product, but the updater is just a little silly. Don Montalvo [alert admin]

MacPool 4.3.0.0 (Mac OS X)

two suggestions from a seasoned pool player  

please move the diamond markers to the rail, they're on the bumpers. also, give us an option to have smaller balls/pockets. maybe visit a poolroom to get an idea of what a real pooltable looks like? don [alert admin]

Growl 0.7.5 (Mac OS X)

very useful...starting to depend on it :)  

this is an excellent tool. i wish we could set timeouts for each specific application. in other words, email notification isn't too important - so if it goes away after 10 seconds i'm fine. however, when i run a synk, i need notification to stay up until i dismiss. great work...keep it up! don [alert admin]

LaunchBar 4.2 beta 1 (Mac OS X)

i can't imagine it getting any better....  

....one of the must-have addons for osx. unlike "haxies", this baby runs as it should, without invading anyone's memory space. well worth the cost. don don montalvo, nyc curmudgeon at large [alert admin]

Parallels Desktop 2.5 Build 3036.0 (Mac OS X)

support via parallels forums  

parallels forums is the place to go for support. developers monitor and post around the clock - along with many programmers and power users. it's one of the most active forums i've seen. it seems that the folks posting on versiontracker are not following the procedures outlined by this beta. the vast majority of those on the forum who have tried it (including me) are enjoying it without major issues except: 1. windows activation - if you boot back and forth between bootcamp/parallels, you'll be prompted to re-activate (beat up on microsoft for this) 2. usb2 support not there yet 3. "coherence" feature is awesome but display artifacts around windows when you move them kind of spoil the effect (disappointment lasts a second or two <g>) don don montalvo, nyc curmudgeon at large [alert admin]

FontAgent Pro 3.3.0 (Mac OS X)

still no universal binary!!  

i have a few clients looking for an alternative to extensis (suitcase, font reserve and fusion). i took a look at linotype fontexplorer and fontagent pro. i was very suprised to see that fontagent is NOT universal binary. don [alert admin]

parallels forum is HIGHLY monitored  

support is best had at the parallels forum. the developers, programmers, sysadmins and powerusers are pushing traffic on that forum to the limit. all the answers are there - as well as parallels' ear. don

our bad...we found the problem...  

...apparently some fonts were installed by another vendor's installer using wrong font permissions in ~/Library/Fonts so we changed to correct permissions and it's a beautiful thing. long live omnigraffle pro...don't know what i'd do without ya! don

palm installer still poorly written  

palmone needs to hire a competent apple osx saavy tech who can create a proper package installer. heck, pay someone with a new palm. i'm sure there are dozens of sysadmins out there that'll do it for a new palm. bottom line...if you write a proper installer, it puts what it needs to put where it needs to put it without "touching" stuff it shouldn't touch. it's common sense...but then if a company is only interested…

incredible! macsysadmins will LOVE this!  

if you can connect to a citrix server, you can launch whatever applications are published. talk to the citrix admin for any server/policy related questions. don, nyc

Unreliable & Risky  

the fact that dantz is spiraling downward has no bearing on symantec's totall collapse as of osx. symantec was only have bad back in os9 days. anyone who trusts symantec after what they did to osx users does not deserve a computer. norton utilities was never more than an over-hyped over-marketed and over-rated piece of c**p. it has no place in any sysadmin's toolbox. don
