actually when I first saw it I was very impressed it suffered the same fate as Notes, it had a series of uninterested stepdads.

doesn't seem very objective, many of those are victims because of their popularity. OK Visio isn't perfect but it is a lot better than many tools.

TOAD used to Rock. In fact anything by Quest was great IMO.

TOAD used to rock before quest got hold of it. It went downhill pretty quickly after that.

A few seconds into a sound track, VLC Media Player throws a horrible scrunched up sound wobbler for a fraction of a second. This is extremely vexing, and makes it unusable for me, which is a shame as it is fine otherwise.

I've never been able to work out why, and most people I talk to haven't noticed. But I'm guessing it is making a misguided attempt to be helpful by looking up the track info on the Web, and this extra activity briefly causes a sound buffer underflow of some kind. (It only ever happens once, at about the same interval from the start of the track.)

So, very reluctantly, VLC Media Player goes to my Software Room 101
