LyricAll 1.0 (Mac OS X)
Works OK for the first song; after that the lyrics are displayed barely visible in black on a dark grey background. Resize corner does not work properly. [alert admin]

PDF Browser Plugin 2.2.3 (Mac OS X)
not so good for scanned documents
Although it looks great for pdf documents with real text, the display is decidedly inferior to other pdf readers (often to the point of near-unreadability) for pdfs with scanned images of text. [alert admin]

I second the request for a "bad lyrics" button. Finds lyrics more reliably than any other program I've tried, but also rather frequently turns up weird junk with no relationship to the song. The option to search google is a nice addition. [alert admin]

Only available as part of Stuffit Standard, which invariably starts demanding that you purchase it just when you are trying to expand a critical file. [alert admin]

pearLyrics 0.4 (Mac OS X)
Seems to find lyrics more reliably than others I have tried. However, it occasionally shows the wrong lyrics, even though the lyrics are correct on the site that it says that is accessing. [alert admin]

iScroll2 0.25e (Mac OS X)
Works perfectly on my 15" aluminum powerbook, although I did have to tweak its control panel parameters to get it precisely to my taste [alert admin]

syncOtunes 0.92 (Mac OS X)
Potentially very useful, but needs work
Number of songs identified in iTunes library did not agree with what iTunes thought it had. Renamed desktop folder to match name of one of the moved songs After successfully adding songs to iTunes, syncOTunes still identified the same songs as missing from the library Was unable to find some songs that were on another mounted volume, with folder aliases in the iTunes folder.

Path Finder 3.2.0 (Mac OS X)
This version seems to have fixed the problem in the previous version and 3.2 betas in which "Connect..." would crash Path Finder. Connecting to a server was about the only reason I ever fired up Apple's Finder, so I'll now be using Path Finder for everything. [alert admin]

Path Finder 3.1 (Mac OS X)
not quite ready to replace Finder ![]()

This is a Finder replacement that offers many enhancements over Apple's Finder. For example, you can sort by date in column view. It will even provide its own desktop (with improved icon placement). Unfortunately, it has a couple of problems that keep me going back to the Finder: Its search facility is primitive compared to the Finder's and (at least on the two computers that I've tried it on) choosing "Connect to Server..." consistently crashes Path Finder.

Hog Bay Notebook 2.0 (Mac OS X)
So far, I'm very impressed with this new notebook. It is the most "Mac OS X-like" of the notebooks I've tried. And the folder organization and fast searching are very helpful. [alert admin]

Note that Retrospect's verification involves re-reading the file from the computer being backed up and comparing it with the copy. So a verification failure does not mean that the copy was unreadable, but simply that it is not and up-to-date copy. Any file that changes between the backup and verification passes will generate a verification error.
