Thank you both for the explanation--I was a little confused with their graphics and the explanation they gave. This cleared it up.

Scapple was the only one I was interested in, and I already have it. It's one of the few mind map apps that allows for solid or dashed lines. I couldn't believe how hard that was to find.
Well it's an emulator, that emulates apps from Windows 95 through to Windows 8. It's not a virtual machine in the sense it runs the whole OS like Parallels. You don't need to buy copies of Windows to use this app. It's pretty good actually. Boxer for DOS apps, Crossover for Windows.
I use boxer occasionally, but I would be suspicious about app compatibility for Crossover. They only had a few dozen programs that are "gold" and most of them are font collections. LOL - and then this happened when I went to double check that.
I'm sure the software works for some. I was just be'n sassy.
An app junky's dream. For most others, a pass. I could easily rid my phone of half its apps bought on sale and not miss a beat.
For the price that it is at right now.. $5-7... yes, it's worth it
WALTR alone made it worth it for me, everything else was a cherry on a cake
I even used that 10% discount for $0.56 off the order, Don't Judge me!
What's so good about WALTR? Aren't free alternatives like VLC good enough?
Bought it for just WALTR alone. I have been wanting that app but the $30 price was just a bit too steep for me, I'd rather just go the long way and use iTunes. Screens will also save me an ENORMOUS amount of time from what I can tell so I am very excited for that.
Overall, worth the $6. Thanks MacRumors!

WALTR converts and uploads the files directly to your phone without having to use other apps. Meaning, FLV files can be synced from your computer to your phone without converting them first.
Well, I bought it, downloaded Crossover, tried to run one of my fav DOS files. Did nothing whatsoever. All I can say is, I'm really glad that I didn't pay full price for that. I'd have been sooooo pissed.
Yeah have to say it has come at a good time as well.
I was looking at WALTR just yesterday and thinking about it. Didn't have a look at the price, since my browsing of reviews of the app on MacRumors showed unfavourable opinions about the app (Free options, ...).
I got this earlier, no matter what the naysayers say it's an excellent deal if not for just waltr and busycal.
Just to set the record straight the waltr comment at least is not correct..
Maybe you can point out how itunes does what waltr does. You drag and drop the videos and they are uploaded to an ipad or iphone without conversion in seconds. NOTHING out there does what waltr does especially itunes. This alone is worth 5.+. The kid comes to me for movies on his ipad, I have several on there on seconds. No converting.
Mac calendar a perfectly good app? It's not even close to busycal. I have never bought it for 50.00 because I could not afford it, but a lot of people do. It IS that much better. Just want to stare at a calendar? The mac one is fine, want a bunch of options then busycal is it.
Winzip does zip and rar so it's better than most mac zip apps. I was just using winzip and I like it, you can also log into dropbox. It will definitely be replacing theunarchiver.
Roboform? Nah, I use 1password. Not installed.
Scapple, a good app regardless of pictures or not.
Find any file. I tried this and liked it earlier, good app, press all of the buttons you want.
Rapidweaver? I doubt it, I have 2 websites. One is wordpress and the other I created with the app that comes with my hosting. Iweb is discontinued, may play with this one.
Crossover? May play with it later on, but not really interrested.
Still, worth 5 dollars plus? Absolutely.

Calendar works perfectly fine for me and it auto-syncs over iCloud to my iPhone and iPad in a flash. I don't see myself changing any time soon, but otherwise, pretty much agree.
This came at a good time for me. I do not like the calendar app, have fantastical 1 on mac and fantastical 2 on my ios devices. I was not going to upgrade to fantastical 2 for the price and with busycal being the same price that was out. This hit just in time as I like it a lot. I like the weather on the calendar also, something simple but still I see the weather along with the calendar.
Not everyone has the same needs or tastes though.
RUN from StuffIt Deluxe. Smith Micro are the queen's of yearly near-full-price "upgrades". Nevermind that the product itself remarkably little actually value.
IMHO, it's inclusion warrants permitting people to enter a negative value for how much they want to pay.
