Macally USB Mouse/Trackball 6.0 (Mac OS X)

Don't bother  

Both links lead to a 404, and customer support is pleasant but unhelpful. [alert admin]

Ch 6.0 (Mac OS X)

Standard Edition IS free  

The "Standard Edition" of Ch is freeware - but it doesn't include the fancy graphics, IDE and statistical packages. It DOES provide an interactive, scriptable C interpreter. [alert admin]

Geekbench 2.0.10 (Mac OS X)

2.0.10 Launch Crash Fixed  

They've updated the link with a new build that doesn't crash-upon-launch. My scores, however, are 5% lower using 2.0.10 than with 2.0.9 :-( [alert admin]

Front Row Enabler 1.3 (Mac OS X)

Reprehensible  

The fact there is no binary uninstaller for this software is simply reprehensible, given that it comes as a binary installer. outer [alert admin]

Front Row Enabler 1.3 (Mac OS X)

Don't Try This At Home  

Mac OS X 10.4.7 PPC, AlPb 15 1.67 DL Folks, the immediate results are impresssive. Then things stop working, like MTNW's 'beep at end of list'. If you do decide to chance it, make sure you make back-up copies of the two /System/Library/ directories the "Enabler" modifies - much easier for the Terminal-savvy to uninstall. I have to say I consider the lack of a binary uninstaller - Pacifist and the combo update package for two files, a couple of bytes each? - reprehensible. As well as the patch garbage that gets left behind by the install. Sloppy. Use at your own risk. [alert admin]

Not Freeware?  

Dig a little deeper, Grasshopper, and you'll find that the "Standard Edition" of Ch is, indeed, available for free. Shame on you.

Has anyone tried this with an Aria Extreme PCI card yet?  

I've re-installed the 10.3.9 version of AirPort 4.2, and with a new S@nn@t Arias extreme 802.11g PCMCIA card, it continues to work great with both my AP Extreme BS (v5.6) and my AP Express WDS (v6.2) I've not dared to try to set either or both of them up as WPA2 only or WPA/WPA2 for fear of frying my new card. Can anyone say whether that would work or not? outer

Yeah, although I'm still using 10.3.9 - and this update (and my incompetence) seems to have fried my Aria Extreme 54g card. No luck so far, even after using the "10.3 or earlier" updater which appeared after the initial "one size fits all" updater. Thanks Apple indeed. outer

Word will not open  

It's a font conflict of some sort. I got around this by eliminating or disabling all duplicate fonts and deleting everything I could find that looked like it had something to do with being a font cache. I never pin-pointed a single culprit, but something I did worked. Word was crashing while attempting to rebuild its font menu.
