Album Art Thingy 1.2 (Mac OS X)
Broken. Hangs and bogs processor. Is excellent as a utility that bogs down the CPU for no reason. [alert admin]

ControllerMate 4.2 (Mac OS X)
It IS fantastic. USB Overdrive and and Game Pad Companion do work, but only if you can figure out the rather abstract settings panels. Plus a couple of games I've played didn't seem to recognize anything they SHOULD be seeing. If I set the trigger to type a 't', when I went back into the game it was still seen as a trigger. It was a hit or miss situation depending on the software. ControllerMate, however has taken the confusion out of it. They've taken the complicated HID manipulation and dumbed it down so even the most boneheaded of us can figure it out, and this with not only NOT losing versatility, but have graciously opened the doors to infinite possibilities. I'm a tinkerer, (from the early days of personal computing...my first hard drive was a full height (2 bays) 5 MEGABYTE Seagate in an IBM-PC with a 6 MHz 8086 CPU. And I was happy. But I digress) I love utilities that cater to my 'what does THIS button do' mentality, and I have to say that ControllerMate is one of my favorite toys! [alert admin]

HID Wizard 1.0 (Mac OS X)
Don't bother until developer wises up. 
I agree with dogger here. This appears to be another useful item for those of us with joystick issues. If you have a mac and a joystick, this means you. The product description contains absolutely no useful information. Letting everyone know that this will ONLY work for their other software will save many people many headaches. I can guarantee that anyone who misses these reviews and downloads/installs this only to find out afterward that it's useless won't ever bother with that developer again. Failing to mention the most pertinent aspect of the software in the description is beyond unprofessional, it's the snake-oil approach. As far as risking possible system problems because you don't know where anything is getting installed, you SHOULD have Pacifist. If you don't have it...GET IT. http://www.charlessoft.com/ You can open any installer package (including MacOS installers) and see exactly where everything is going to go, or use pacifist itself to install any/all pieces anywhere.

GimmeSomeTune 3.0 (Mac OS X)
Awesome. Truly Awesome. Blows the others out of the water.
Fantastic. Worked perfectly immediately. It actually coughed up lyrics to a song that I had searched literally 30 years for. I almost fell out of my chair. Produces cover art about as often as any that retrieve it from Amazon. [alert admin]

X-Plane 7.40b1 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)
Poor product rating because of personal bandwidth issues?
Not really very fair is it? This is only the most comprehensive flight simulator available to the general public, and the only one approved as a training tool by the FAA. Perhaps you should direct your poor rating to YOUR crummy adsl isp. [alert admin]

Connectix Virtual PC 6.0.1 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)
you think it's a better idea to buy a cheap PC, then do that. Personally I have little use for an actual PeeCee and it's consumption of desk space, and electricity. Connectix doesn't claim that it will be any better (for now) than a P-II MMX. Don't expect any better performance. Connectix also tells you right up front that it won't perform well for graphics-intensive games, so gamers look elswhere. VPC does what it claims. [alert admin]

number? So if you go beyond the "trial" period they can bill you. No thanks. Why is there no basic free player? [alert admin]

X-Plane 6.10b11 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)
same fog situation as Jerryp... visibility settings all at maximum, but still... never better than 3-4 miles. G4/733 768 ram, GEforce2 MX. (Landing lights in OS-X?) [alert admin]

X-Plane 6.10b11 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)
feedback adreitz... I fiigured that might be the problem, info specifies it as an application rather than Classic App, which is usually the case. I agree 100% that X-Plane is really anything BUT a game as much as an aircraft development tool. A TRUE simulator, based on real-world aerodynamic conditions. I find it far more addicting than any game I've played. Since the land-use maps have arrived, I've been playing with world-maker a lot too. I can stick with the working OS-X release, and wait for the next working OS-X beta. I urge everyone who keeps giving X-Plane bad reviews keep in mind that X-Plane is NOT a game. There really is no goal other than to test your own piloting skills. ALL of the other "Flight Sim" GAMES fly their aircraft unrealistically, no matter how real it may seem. Their flight performance is preprogrammed. For those of you whose system just isn't up to par, well X-Plane performs wonderfully on my G4/733 with da Nvidia video. (With iTunes running too) Still, nothing compares with X-Plane. Five stars, although I wish Austin would address the landing light issue. [alert admin]
