BroadbandOptimizer 1.0 (Mac OS X)
No, this is not BS, and no most of us do even know the developer. No matter what platform you are on (Windows, Linux, Mac, Mac X), the network is tuned to a very generalized setting to work with every customer's needs (whether they are on a LAN or a modem). All this does is increase the buffer size on the network stack so that it can handle a higher volume of traffic. There's a utility like this on every platform. Under Mac OS 9, the popular choice was IPNetTuner by Sustainable Softworks http://www.sustworks.com/site/prod_ottuner.html. There's also things like this for Windows. But, as with all such utilities, your mileage may vary. This is but one tiny factor in the perceived performance of your computer. There are many other things that effect the perceived speed; such as buy a faster computer! ;-) [alert admin]

IPNetSentry 1.3.0c3 (Mac OS 9)
NOT lying when it claims that it stops "code red" worms and the like. Anyone that runs a web server has seen their logs overflowing with code red access attempts. The idea is that if you have a machine running this software sitting between your web server and network, you would substantially reduce the amount of "noise" on your network, as well as your web server working overtime processing dummy code red requests. Also, some people may be using this product as a Firewall for a mixed Mac/Windows network, so you'd want that protection anyway. Blueskymining & Mr.Desp frankly don't know what they're talking about.

Toast Titanium X 5.1P2 (Mac OS X)
Tim Elliot (below) that Apple's own disk burning software will suit the needs of *most* users (i.e. backup & making music CD's). However, Toast does allow for much more control and options that will help those of us who are making mastering CD's, CD's that will work with older systems, and even more control over music CD's.

Apple Darwin Streaming Server 3.0.1 (Mac OS X)
if this would install on regular MacOS X (not MacOS X Server)? I'd like to play with this, but obviously don't have server. [alert admin]

iCab 2.6 (Mac OS 9)
support is *not* an oversight, iCab is using Apple's own URL Access for secure pages. So blame Apple if you're looking to whine. Just like it's relying on Apple's MRJ for Java support. So does that make it iCab's fault that they don't support Java below whatever Apple supports?! I don't think so. iCab is doing the smart thing by re-using Apple-supplied software rather than expend the effort of trying to write their own. Personally, I am very happy and relieved to see a choice of web browsers available for the Mac. [alert admin]

iTunes Associator 1.6 (Mac OS 9)
trick pony is silly. You should check out SpaceAliens 2.0 by Interarchy software (same people who make the Interarchy FTP program). It takes any file, reads the file extension, and makes the type/creator to that in Internet Config. I use it for converting everything from MP3's, to GIFs & JPGs, to docs I get via email. Check it out: ftp://interarchy.com/spacealiens-20.sit [alert admin]
