Meteorologist 1.4.8 (Mac OS X)
Very good with one serious annoyance 
I love this little menu bar addition -- but it has one significant, annoying flaw. It seems that the attempt to refresh the weather occasionally hangs -- usually once a day or more on me -- and you have to quit out of the application and restart it. This can happen if you intermittently lose the connection or if the Mac goes to sleep while it's in the middle of a refresh. It would be much better if it "timed out" of the refresh and tried again a little later. That is what lowers this from 5 stars to 4. Fix it (assuming it's still being maintained) and it's 5 stars.

Intuit Quicken 2006 15.0.3 (Mac OS X)
Not worth buying more than once every three years or so...
I'm still using the 2005 edition. There's little reason for me to pay FULL PRICE for an upgrade every year, and it takes that long for the cumulative new features to justify the investment. <b>Intuit's upgrade policy is the worst in the consumer software industry, bar none.</b> It's not even close. I know of no other consumer-oriented software vendor who charges FULL PRICE for upgrades year after year, release after release. If they offered a $29-39 upgrade instead of a $60-70 full price upgrade each year, I'd probably upgrade each year. One feature of 2007 I like is the Quick Entry widget. I loved the QuickEntry feature of older versions of Quicken for Mac and I was very disappointed at its removal. This is a spiffy and convenient feature, but not worth $60 by itself. My recommendation is based on new users (or people using releases prior to about 2005) and my experiences using the software. I haven't had the problems many are reporting. But that upgrade policy is still brutal, and I will not be buying the 2007 version. We'll see what new features are in Quicken 2008. If they are compelling OR if they introduce upgrade pricing (fat chance), I'll buy; otherwise, I'll sit that one out, too. [alert admin]

Gas 1.1 (Mac OS X)
Great concept -- needs one major addition to be really useful...
This widget needs the ability to weed out old price entries. Most of the entries I'm seeing have prices way too low. $1.98 gas? Nope -- that's from an entry at least a week old, and this in a period where prices rose by 15 cents. I think this is a very neat concept and could be very useful...but only if the information in it is timely, and only if the old prices can be screened out like at the GasBuddy sites. [alert admin]

Dantz Retrospect client 6.0.110 (Mac OS X)
I downloaded this for Tiger compatibility. It crashes every time it tries to back anything up. It goes through the motion of counting all the files, folders and all that...but once it starts backing up data it eventually just quits. For now I'm just backing up critical folders to a removable drive every couple of days until this is fixed. [alert admin]

two stars because of constant -3155 Open transport errors in OS 10.1. But I used the fix Jim lists below and everything is working great again. Rating updated to reflect new experience. [alert admin]
