    ANONYMOUS  I really dig this app! Love the resizable flags.

    I, too, wish the text would wrap. I had to drag it open, push it offscreen to the left, drag it more... just to read everything.

    But, hey, it's free. And looks, feels, great otherwise. The quick link to the web is cool too.  (Version 0.3.3)

    X MAN  Excellent. A 2nd download sight! Big thumbs up to the provider of the mirror ;) !

    Now that I have all 165kb of the app, I like it a lot.

    Very neat and clean, w/a small footprint. The flag and map "drawers"/popups are a sweet touch.

    I second the recommendation for text wrapping. Or, someone could buy Me a bigger monitor. ;)

    A cool,educational, free, app. 4 stars.  (Version 0.3)

    ANONYMOUS  I'd love to download it, but as pointed out, the site regularly exceeds it's bandwidth allocation.

    The developer should submit it to the MIT info-mac arhive. http://www.info-mac.org/how/submit.html

    Doing so would take nothing away from Macupdate, and would allow people, unfettered access to the software.

    PEACE  (Version 0.3)
