   Review - Tag&Rename

   3.3 (Dec 22, 2006)

   Very flexible, extremely useful utility. Not one I fire up every day, but when I need it there's nothing else like it.
   
   The learning curve might be a little much for some users, but it's worth it if you want to normalize your MP3 (and now video) tags.
   
   The developer is very responsive as well.
   
   Highly recommended.

   Review - AnyDVD HD

   6.0.4.5 (Aug 2, 2006)

   To Kubla_Khan: Running AnyDVD and CloneDVD under Parallels on a MacBook worked fine. The model # of the drive in the MacBook is MATs***A DVD-R UJ-857. IDK if that is what you want to know.

   Review - Parallels Workstation for Mac OS X

   2.1.1848 (Jun 15, 2006)

   An impressive first official release, with lots of refinements from RC2. If you have an Intel Mac with at least 2GB of RAM (anything less is unsatisfactory) and the need to run some Windows applications I cannot recommend this enough. With a 30-day trial period you can evaluate the fitness of Parallels Desktop v. Bootcamp for your needs.

   Review - Adobe Photoshop Lightroom for Mac OS X

   Beta 3 (Jun 15, 2006)

   A very useful, usable piece of software. I would like to do a head-to-head with Apple's Aperture, but they (Apple) don't have a trial version. iPhoto is great for casual MAc users (and its integration with the rest of Apple's iLife suite make it more suited to the hobbyist) but pros will find a lot to love in Lightroom. This is also the first Adobe app that is a universal binary, so it, unlike Photoshop, runs natively on the new Intel Macs. One caveat: as a reviewer noted elsewhere, this program generates a LOT of metadata for its library.

   Review - CloneDVD Mobile

   1.0.1.1 (Feb 1, 2006)

   Good to see Slysoft has entered the arena on this. Outputs to most of the common multimedia formats (as opposed to some where you're required to buy different packages to rip to iPod or PSP). On the downside, you can't selectively rip chapters/titles - it's an all or nothing shot.

6. Comment - 'Blackcomb' Renamed to 'Vienna'

   1.0.1.1 (Jan 23, 2006 - 6:10 AM)

   Oh, Vienna....
