	Mar 13 2004	ANONYMOUS Cocktail will do this, and many many other good OS X things, for five cents less. http://www.macosxcocktail.com/ if you're trying to delete .DS_Store files, Cocktail is a much better software value. (Version 1.0)		0

ANONYMOUS Actually, Cocktail is 5 dollars MORE than DS Terminator and not as simple to use when you need to quickly clean files for uploading on a regular basis. Check your facts.

	Mar 3 2003	ANONYMOUS People who leave brutal comments like this "This is stupid, why not just..." are probably just pissed off they didn't think of it first. I am not a part of the company who developed this software.... Just a developer who is sick of the computer communities "holier than thou" attitude. (Version 1.0)		0
