TextExpander 2.2 (Mac OS X)
Good, but slow with large collections of snippits... 
It's a great program, but it gets unbearably slow when adding or removing entries from a large collection of snippits. I added the pre-packaged 'autocorrect' and 'TidBITS autocorrect' snippits (to make a total of 2,588 snippits in my database) and speed went dramatically down on my 2.6Ghz Penryn PowerBook. Memory usage also seems totally out of control... My textpander daemon is currently sitting at 273 Mb of real memory and 1.16 Gb of virtual memory, which is excessive to say the least! Some bug quashing and optimisation is in order...? [alert admin]

Spark 3.0b8 (Mac OS X)
A truly excellent piece of software. Elegant, stable, lightweight, fast. A fantastic hot-key program. Bravo! I've written tons of hot-key scripts and Spark has been rock stable and lightning fast to respond. Forget the buggy and kludgy QuicKeys, iKey, and Keyboard Maestro. This is free, and it is awesome.

ViewIt 2.7.2 (Mac OS X)
Great picture viewer, Only one downside: I'd like to have the thumbnail view as a window (not full screen), but when I double click on an image in the thumbnail window for it to automatically open it as full screen. This is the most common way in which I view images: I have the thumbnailed view as a window, so I can move stuff to it from the rest of the desktop, but when I double click on an image I want to see that image full screen. At the moment, I have to do this by switching to and from the full screen view by pressing command-F, and I invariably forget to do it---ending up with full-screen thumbnails or a tiny widowed picture. It would be really for ViewIt to have the option to have this behaviour, as it seems a senisble way for a image viewer to behave. [alert admin]

SideTrack 0.8 (Mac OS X)
Right mouse button? What right mouse button?
Version 0.8 is awesome! Alex Harper deserves major kudos. The corner taps are a very clever solution to a hard problem. Setting the top-right corner to right click has completely extinguished any need for a right mouse button. This is one of the neatest solutions to the problem of bring up context menus I've ever seen. Much more elegant and easy to use than an extra physical button on the pad. The other feature that it would be great to have is if the scrolling kept going once your finger reaches the edge of the scroll area. It would save repeatedly moving your finger up and down to scroll through a large document. [alert admin]

SideTrack 0.7.7 (Mac OS X)
It would be great if when your finger reaches the top or bottom of the scroll area the window would keep on scrolling for as long as your finger is held there. I had a PC laptop with this behaviour and it is very convenient for scrolling through large documents---saves you having to move your finger up and down over the scroll area all the time just to keep scrolling in the same direction.

SideTrack 0.7.5 (Mac OS X)
This is one great piece of software. It is just great to have scrolling on the trackpad. I've had no problems with it on my 15" FW800. I'm looking forward to version 0.8. Keep up the good work! [alert admin]
