For the third day in a row...

I have lost all my work.

Is it because i'm not saving or because Final Draft is just inherently flaky with Rosetta or because my new SODIMM is flaky.

I have no idea. I hate it when computers malfunction.

I've started using Montage to write my podcasts and other scripts. I'm really starting to love it. It just works the way a Mac app should, since it it was built for Mac, and not some port over from a Windows app.

Plus, it has a Final Draft importer.

Try the demo and see if you like it. Plus, it has a full screen mode, like Write Room.

You can also download the users manual as a PDF from their site.

It's pretty cool.

Does it have a Final Draft Exporter? If so, I can start developing my new portfolio scripts in it and export to Final Draft when I'm done in case I don't like it. I'm just so used to Final Draft, I've been using it for seven years and I hear that version 7 for the Mac is insanely buggy.

I tried opening my files in Final Draft 7 in Windows XP and it seems just as flaky. I'm wondering if there's some kind of glitch that causes FD to save corrupt files in Rosetta? I tried running the Mac without the extra memory and the same two apps (BitRocket and Final Draft) continued to act up, so it's definitely not a memory issue.

By the way, have you tried Comic Life? It is the best throwaway app ever included with any computer.
