You can view a free screencast for this at ScreenCasts Online (http://www.screencastsonline.com/sco/Shows/files/SCO0106-bookit.html). One thing to note, with the current version (3.7.1) you have to use .Mac to sync multiple computers.

Looks nice and works like a snap but does not support migrating bookmark folders.

the interface can be confusing, the icon looks old and boring, and personally i think they are charging a bit much for it. I own it, I use it, it works well for me. I use .mac syncing of bookmarks, but that only syncs Safari bookmarks, so I use Bookit to migrate those Safari bookmarks to other browsers that I use more frequently.

lovely utility even though i have to agree that the price tag is a little high.
btw, it DOES support migrating bookmark folders.
otherwise i woud not have bought it. works fine

It used to be a great little tool, but the developer won't update it to work with FireFox 3. He said it would be compatible with FF3 as soon as it released, but that's been months ago. If he hasn't noticed, FF is the second most popular app used by Mac users.

I love having this application come with every Mac. I use it at least twice a day.

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.

Huge and expensive, great if you know what your doing, overwhelming if you don't. I wish there was a more consumer version of this application that was a Universal Binary.

This fu%#&ing app is still completely broken on Leopard.

The cursor disappears and selecting anything is impossible.

Do not buy. Do not use. Adobe has no respect for their customers.

I've used Photoshop for Windows professionally in all its versions since 5.0. Moving to the mac, I was looking forward to finally using the app on it's 'home turf'. But somehow they have managed to make Photoshop even less pleasant to install, configure and use on Leopard than it was on Windows. That's got to be some kind of engineering miracle.

Leaving aside the myriad interface woes, which there is not enough time in the day to describe, what galls me most about Photoshop CS3 on the mac is how un-neighbourly it is. After installation I found my Applications folder cluttered with Adobe subfolders, one for each component of the application - including several I hadn't agreed to install (Adobe Bridge, anyone? Adobe Device Central? Adobe Stock Photos? "Adobe Help Viewer 1.1", an application I am never going to run separately in my life?) Each of these folders was full to the brim with licensing agreements I'd already agreed to, and support files that should be living in /Library/Application Support/. None of these folders or applications can be renamed or moved after installation, otherwise the applications stop working. None of these components can be uninstalled without uninstalling the whole application - and you cannot even start the uninstaller without closing all your browsers first. This same casual, careless contempt for the user and their system extends to the design of the entire application.

After 7 years, trying it on the mac was the last straw; I have come to thoroughly resent this application and Adobe's attitude to software design. I'm frantically exploring alternatives because I do not want to be beholden to Photoshop for another minute of my professional life.

The only way Photoshop will get measurably better, faster or more pleasant to use is if they start again with a clean sheet of paper. I'm not holding my breath.

I'd love to avoid it but the competition is far behind !

I wanted to use the 7z compression but didn't care too much for this program. I ended up using BetterZip (http://macitbetter.com/) instead and like it better.

This software is great! It's easy to use and has very good compression and multi-volume support, I don't know what I should expect else of a free compress software.

Someone should add "7zip" as a tag or in the description, so that a search on "7zip" returns this app. Currently it is missing from the results list, even if it's the best freeware to create a 7z archive.
(Note: 7z apparently is the correct name, 7-zip is only one of the possible archiver to create a 7z archive.)

There a bug in 1.6.5 on multi-volumes creation, see homepage.
According to the developer, this has been fixed in 1.6.6, which will be released soon.

Until v. 1.6.6 is released to fix the multi-archive creation bug, a workaround is using 7zip portable via Crossover (or another Wine).
