SimplyBurns rev180 (Mac OS X)
I've been trying to download this the last couple of weeks, and keep getting an error message saying 'too many clients'. Anyone get this to work lately? [alert admin]

AWS Guitar Tuner 2.01 (Mac OS X)
For those of us who like easy and simple...
The free SkalMac Tuner is a great, easy to use, intuative standard tuner. This has far more non-standard tuning options, but for someone like me, who simply wants an easy way to tune their guitar I find it far more clunky and annoying to use. But I'm not a professional musician, and I don't generally need non-standard tuning, so I won't rate this app. It might be a boon to the right person. But for many it will be overkill. [alert admin]

ZoomQuilt 2.6 (Mac OS X)
Works just fine on my G5 iMac. Very minor delay starting up. Very cool, very unique. I used it as my main screensaver for quite a while, and got lots of questions and comments on it. Personally I eventually found some of the art a little grim after a while, but that's a taste thing, not quality. But worth checking out to see the rare screensaver that tries something radically different. [alert admin]

Conan the Librarian X 1.0 (Mac OS X)
This an amazingly funny little app. My wife and I got laughing so hard that we both ached. It's one of those things that's so silly, so stupid that it just keeps building. You can't believe you're lauging at it, but you can't stop either. [alert admin]

Bushisms 2.0 (Mac OS X)
...and the tech support email address just bounces back. Aaargh! I'd love to use this. I'm on 10.4.7. I just keep getting (very funny) error messages. Anyone else use it lately? Maybe the NSA has disabled it! [alert admin]

BuddyPop 2.5.1 (Mac OS X)
While I like and use BuddyPop (see review below), ABMenu provides a free variation where all Address Boook info can be instantly accessed through the menu bar. Doesn't have auto-dial, but it's super easy to use and costs nothing. [alert admin]

ABMenu 2.1.3 (Mac OS X)
Quite similar to the $8 iAddressX. Upside, a bit faster and even more user friendly. And free (although worth a donation). Downside, doesn't have a couple of features (like auto-dial) that iAddressX has. But overall a terrific, super easy to use, fast link to Address Book info. [alert admin]

iAddressX 3.5.1 (Mac OS X)
I tried both this and ABMenu. They're just about identical, but ABMenu is free/donationware, and seemed, if anything, a tad more user friendly, and seems to pull up the info a bit fatser. [alert admin]

HistoryHound 1.9.2 (Mac OS X)
Bit the bullet and paid the $20. 
It was a close call. The couple of times I needed it, it did save me some time and effort, but I found I didn't call on it all that often. Also, the search process was still a little slow, at least on my computer. In the time History Hound took sorting through all my pages, I could be halfway through a new google search. But there were those couple of times, on a subject I had been researching over time, that it was a great help getting back to the pages I needed. [alert admin]

AppWatch 1.0 (Mac OS X)
Certainly this functions well and is stable. And it is sort of interesting to see what apps I use most, and which have been on the longest (although I have some questiions about the accuracy). But as a launcher, I found it annoying, since I was never sure what apps it would or wouldn't have on it's lists at a given time. So I'd have to open it, scan the lists, and then open my app a different way if it wasn't among those on the current list. Not the most efficient of approaches. Maybe I'm mising the point?

A quick admission: I was wrong about implying ABMenu has all the same abilities. There are a couple of features - like built in auto dialing - that ABMenu doesn't have and iAddressX does. I just never used those. My bad. But I stand by my general point, that for quick lookups from the address bar ABMenu is as good or a little better.

I would argue that yes this is a good idea, if not 'necessary' for the following reasons: 1. Even if Macs (so far) have been tremendously virus proof, we can can be 'carriers' - unwittingly harboring them and passing them on to our friends and colleagues on Windows machines. 2. The very fact that Mac has been trumpeting it's virus resistance will make it an ever more tempting target for those wanting to prove themselves. 3.…

I love this app! A major timesaver.
Quick correction. In checking your earlier post I see you did not rate price. I appologize for that mis-statement. However, you did rate stability and other factors on an app you hadn't tried, which still seems odd and outside the spirit of the rating system.

Actually you're quite wrong. Because Quicksilver covers documents and other files as well as apps. I work on a number of different large projects simultaneously. If I were to put all the documents, files and apps I might use in a given day in my my work into the dock I would literally have to keep several hundred items there. I don't understand your hostility towards this application, or towards those of us…

While I call this sweet little app 'donation worthy' it is true freeware. It doesn't nag for a donation, or even provide a link to give one.
