I am using a great dvd ripper on my Mac. It is iSkysoft DVD Ripper for Mac, the powerful functions makes you even edit dvd infromation as easy as possible, such as subtitle make effect, and extract some of the titles or clips, and so on.

Hi JC

Using Apple Mail or Gmail web client (not sure if other email clients can do the same), you can actually see that the email threads are highlighted (in Gmail, the threaded emails are displayed together and tabbed, so you can actually see visually all the threads related to the email).

So, if a basecamp user who is reading the email related to a project wants to read the previous post relating to the same project, the user can actually read that previous post by following the highlighted emails (in Apple Mail). This can be done without leaving the email client.

A good way to make it easy to follow all posts from several projects is to set up a rule in your email client to automatically fie emails from basecamp into a single folder (you can name it like 'basecamp emails'). With this, you have accomplished 2 things.

1-You have uncluttered your inbox; all basecamp's emails bypass the inbox and go directly into the designated folder-to be dealt with at the right time.

2-You can access these emails and deal with all basecamp projects in a 'batch' mode. Boosting productivity by having a better focus and concentration.

Hope this is useful.

Hello Cris,

I was looking at the great array of software you posted for JC, and I was wondering if you could help me find a Risk Analysis software for mac. So far haven't found anything worth downloading, much less buying. I have been trying Merlin for Project Management which also has a small module for risk assessment. However, it does not provide any statistical information for analyzing risk probabilities, nor analyzing the probability of finishing the project on the established date if risks are taken into account, or under the planned budget, etc.

Any suggestions?

thanks
