Intego ContentBarrier X4 10.4.4 (Mac OS X)
I have had CB installed at the family computer for about 2 years. If your circumstances call for parental controls, CB is worth the money for the app and the filter maintenance. The filter, updated periodically, is a key feature that is not provided by the OS. When an ok site happens to be blocked, that is fine with me, as it gives our little users a reminder that CB is on guard. And of course, no filter is total. Schedule of access is very easily set up or modified. The app is very solid. My advice is, don't be tempted to get by with something less. [alert admin]

YummySoup! 1.6.5 (Mac OS X)
I have used earlier versions of this for over a year. Yummy Soup is the menu app I use nowadays becuase it somehow taps into the fun of the internet menu scene. Look around online and if you like a recipe, probably its can be imported (with picture) by dragging the url onto the Yummy window. This update continues the well-advised emphasis on this key characteristic. Plus: easy full-screen view, smart lists (e.g., one for recipes not yet tried, one for recipes with eggs, etc.), shopping list. Whatever the future holds, mr or ms developer, please keep the fun in this one. [alert admin]

iCalMaker 1.9.1 (Mac OS X)
This app is a real help. I use it to import event schedules that are sent as tables, for instance game schedules. It also offers some report formats not offered by iCal. Now in universal for os 10.4, I hope it will be soon updated for the upcoming 10.5. [alert admin]

LicenseKeeper 1.2.2 (Mac OS X)
License Keeper fills a niche and does it well. I use it to hold not only registration codes but also the dmg files themselves and additional manuals or guides. The user interface is well thought out; add apps to your list by drag and drop. The auto detection of email serial numbers is neat. [alert admin]

Professor Fizzwizzle and the Molten Mystery 1.03 (Mac OS X)
Our family is enjoying this Fizzwizzle as much as the earlier one, and that was a favorite of ours. It has several levels that lets each of us tackle puzzles at his or her level. Runs fine on an older G3, too. [alert admin]

Retrospect 6.1.126 (Mac OS X)
beware Retrospect startup item
After trying all manner of workarounds to address startup failures on a G4 with 10.4, I figured out that a Retrospect-installed item, called Retrorun, in startup items folder was the cause. After I removed that item, and for that matter removed everything associated with Retrospect, the problem was fixed. Who would have thought that the backup software was cause of failure??

Intego ContentBarrier X4 10.4.2 (Mac OS X)
I have settled on CB as an internet filter after trying some alternatives, and I am satisfied with it. A kid browser like Bumpercar is useless for an 11 year old; by that age they need to be using a proper browser for homework. KidsGoGoGo deserves to be considered seriously; it is ambitious; but it just did not feel solid. CB does feel solid. It generally blocks what one wishes to be blocked for the managed users. The manual is well presented. One suggestion I have for Intego is to allow itunes streaming while other streaming is blocked. iTunes has good parental controls of its own, and I would like to allow that app and not other streaming (like those little online videos).

eyeHide 2.0 (Mac OS X)
I tried eyehide for a month. Being not satisfied, I removed it and the "hidden" folder. Result: lost video and corrupt directory. [alert admin]

disclabel 4.0 (Mac OS X)
While dsiclabel 3 was powerful, it could also be tricky, and taking steps out of order could lead to a crash. Now disclabel v 4 is a substantial improvement -- the new text window, for instance. [alert admin]
