Either the link is dead or this is a problem with Sourceforge, which does not like direct download links. You can find a similar and equally free product at Nisus, called Nisus Thesaurus. It too is based on WordNet.

I love the dictionary too. Single best thing on Tiger, or close to it. If you do not know this program, check out my small blog post at http://onmymac.blogspot.com/2007/06/dictionary.html. But don't bother if you already do. I also keep dreaming of the day when it will come in other languages. Programming isn't the issue. Copyright is. What did Apple have to pay for this one? What would Duden expect for a decent German dictionary? And so on. Oh well. Here's to hope . . .

I just wish there's a localized British version..

There's a plugin that provides a cool german-english dictionary for offline use.
Check it out.

This and other Intego products can be bundled together. I got this with VirusBarrier and NetBarrier.

I like Adium better, but my son sometimes wants an audio chat. This happens often enough that I switched back to iChat. Chax makes this choice less painful.

I have some friends who own Macs and a lot of friends using Windows. To chat to both parties it looks like Adium is doing a better job. And if i need a quick video conference I'm using Skype.

Sorry apple, nice try but I really don't need that application.

I'll use it when it has support for msn. alright micro$oft is bad for you, but all my friends use it and I've always used it and I cannot make them change

You can use iChat with MSN. Read matt0ne's comment.

I dislike the application. Cannot even use tab to select the find field. And then the application can't always remember where the cursor was last active. Still, having Duden on my Mac is a lifesaver. I remember looking at their products in the late 90s, and then they were PC only.

I use Word when I have to, although I prefer not to write in it. Sometimes I also use it to comment papers for my son. I use Excel to keep track of grades in my smaller classes. (In big classes I prefer a database like FileMaker.) My wife uses Entourage for email and some memos. Got a big scare with her database last week, but found enough user advice online to bring it back to life. See especially http://www.entourage.mvps.org/.

If you're using your Mac to interface with the business world you can pretty much forget using anything else; Mac Office 2004 isn't a great app but it's necessary. While I'm all for supporting the ongoing developmentg of open source alternatives, until they can handle tracked changes between dozens of different users over hundreds of pages I'll be using Office.

It runs well on both my PowerBook G4 1.5GHz and my iMac Core 2 Duo 2.16GHz via Rosetta. It looks goofy, however - the interface isn't Mac and it isn't Microsoft. It looks like Microsoft attempting to appear Mac (go figure!).

destroy!

guys, guys... that was [sort of] a joke.

:]

boo on office, its too slow

I run 2008 and it still appears under appfresh/iusethis as '2004'. In any case, it's necessary if you work in a windows-based environment. 08 is a much better version than 04, but still leaves a lot to be desired. A necessary evil, so to speak.

why should anybody use a software written in a language non-compatible with Cocoa, bloated with garbage, with 80% unnecessary for Apple OS ???
Why even to bother to have it on a Mac, and contradict to concept of Apple and Macintosh ?
Those who moved to Mac from windowz, why do you still stick with the garbage written for windowz ?
Do you forget that every piece of windowz software is written with one goal in mind - to make your computer run slow, to infest with crap to attract viruses,...?
80% of MS Office is not used by 80% of windowz users.
That's why Pages is designed with usability in mind, it's elegant and light.
The same with KeyNote and Numbers.
Even Bean is more usable than MS Word.
80% of most people need to do, can be done in iWork.

Mellel helped me get through my dissertation, but I like NWE for the little projects that require footnotes. (It seems a little slow opening on my G4 iBook though.)
