Ditto . . . on that Harry.
Will remember you in my prayers for success and quick healing.

Hang in there Harry. Wishing you a speedy rehab. And lay off "pumping iron" for awhile.

Going in for shoulder re-construction Friday so posts may be minimal trying to type one handed, and left handed at that. Young fellows give lifting weights a miss ~ take that from an old feller!

Wishing you a speedy recovery mate.

On knows, just what we need, Siri on the Mac.

I am old fashioned enough to do the searching myself!

Will be praying Harry it all goes well.

Well actually… you can use Siri to enter text on a Mac.

Good luck Harry and best wishes for a speedy recovery!

In the meantime, you might want to check out Dragon. I know you think you're too old to learn, but some of the most self-admitted computer neophytes I know at work swear by it.

A second for Dragon. I had a friend who was paralyzed and could not use her arms at all that used dragon on the PC and did Photoshop work with it! Amazing to watch.

Well, for me I think that you need to strike a balance and if revenue now drives the forum along then perhaps put the price up for the undesirable ones, because times may get tough and if we've canned them once they may be reluctant to come back?

Is it me or have advertisers and marketeers taken over the whole shooting match?

Harry that is what I first thought when I cam on board.

what amazes me is they have a product made for one of the best platforms out there yet they cannot approve on it and make it Mac friendy? I doubt they got on board and said lets make a real ****** product and advertise the crap out of it so we ca make a quick buck. Have they ever been on this forum to discus their shortcummings and new updates to improve Mackeeper?

They're a sham outfit, much like iSkySoft and the others. They make a barely functional piece of software and then do exactly as you described, although I have seen them respond to certain reviews.

From what I understand, it has been improved a bit - earlier incarnations actually ran in WINE! (in other words, the app was developed for Windows and was running in emulation).

Hello folks,

Did anything ever come of this at all because I just answered a lonely post asking advice on reinstalling it?

There is currently a very prominent banner in our forum header which sticks out like a sore thumb.

What about a prominent sticky in one of the forums or indeed a forum by way of a definitive statement giving a balanced and fair view of our opinion on this app and the other well known one?

Or indeed we can just keep bumping this thread to keep it in minds eye.
