I finally got around to updating SkyQuotaX so that it works again Belgacom Skynet accounts. Get the latest version here! Thanks to Nicolas Dupont for helping debug and test this latest version. Telenet support has been removed. I no ... http://www.natal.be/index.php/2006/02/skyquotax-30-released/ It's not something I've come across with other Mac users, but the standard audio headphone output on my Mac Mini has a very annoying background hiss.

Belgacom Skynet entirely updated their account management web interface so that it broke SkyQuotaX. It's a pity Skynet doesn't offer a SOAP service to their account management yet. It would make it a lot easier for third-party tools to download ... http://www.natal.be/index.php/2005/07/skyquotax-16-released/ Switching to an entirely new OS can be a daunting experience. Think different, sure, but the small differences can cause quite a bit of frustration.
