...good heavens, they're still around. Talk about a blast from the past - Panorama was one of the first expensive (for me anyway) apps I purchased for the Mac SI (the RAM-based engine being the feature that caught my eye). Thanks for the heads up...will be downloading the trial to give it a look for both old-times sake and as a possible alternative to Bento...

Though I like the Marvel Pinball tables, they don't seem to be as extensive or as detailed as the Zen Pinball tables like Telsa and El Dorado. Fun and challenging but missing the polish and design of the original.

My bad was updating to 4.2 on the office Mac instead of the home Mac (so impatient). Had the same issue (no songs or vids though the storage space was the same), so reconnected to iTunes, saw the songs and vids on the iTouch, played one song from the iTouch through iTunes, and the songs and vids appeared. Very strange.

@bunt Please be aware that not all driving games support a steering wheel - learned that the hard way w/Blur, Split/Second, and NFS Hot Pursuit.

I'm glad many pundits are eating crow (I'm looking at you, Joy of Tech), but not interested in purchasing because I my Red & Blue CDs to iTunes years ago (listening to them as I compose).

As long as it has steering wheel peripheral support, I'll be glad to purchase it. Surprised (and disappointed) that NFS Hot Pursuit is not currently compatible with wheels though NFS Shift and Burnout Paradise are. From http://www.criteriongames.com/faq/

PS3 Steering Wheel Support

Logitech and Logitech-compatible steering wheels will not be detected at all on PS3, some others that are based on the PS3 standard controller will work but you'll have to test them to make 100% sure. We will be considering official support for Logitech's Driving Force GT, G25 and G27 wheels at a later date. Other Logitech Driving Force wheels and other wheels that are Logitech "Class B"-compatible should be configurable to work with the game, but are not officially supported.

Note that the PS3 version does not support steering wheel peripherals. From http://www.criteriongames.com/faq/

Very surprised (and disappointed) as NFS Shift and Burnout Paradise do support wheels. Tried the dual-shock controller w/mixed results - the faster the car, the more difficult it is to steer. So, 3-1/2 stars for me.

Won't be upgrading to '11. My MacPro (2009 edition) started misbehaving after installing Snow Leopard, so reverted back. Like some of the features in '11 but not enough to go through another upgrade.

I have Accordance and am happy w/it. I'd like to give Logos a try but to pony $212 for the entry level package is pretty pricey (even with the library that's included). Accordance gets the nod here for ala carte pricing.

@ Wonderboy

Hi, my name is Pete R and I'm an App Hoarder (sigh). Agreed, Wonderboy, that I have way more apps than anyone can use - truthfully, I use around a dozen on a daily basis and the rest as time wasters. Gratefully, I get them when they're free.
