Whither MasterCook? The recipe program MasterCook Mac was a great product. The first version was best, then it slowly degraded over time as feature-bloat drove upgrade purchases. But where is it now? I've got a few really good cookbooks and recipes in MasterCook format that I'd love to use on Mac OS X, but can't find something that can read the files. Searching Google seems useless, since the phrase "MasterCook" just turns up a zillion recipes -- nothing about the software itself. Only one software hit seems to show up, for Sierra Home, but their site doesn't mention the product at all, they've apparantly mothballed it? 9:32:18 PM    comment [] Why Documents To Go sucks Stevenf has a legitimate beef with DavaViz Documents To Go. Read it, it's good. I'll only add that as a v1.0 customer, I've never upgraded, for the very reasons he outlines. DataVis pesters the hell out of me with "special offers" that only extract money from my wallet -- they offer no Macintosh features at all. Bastards. 6:31:16 PM    comment []
