DANA SUTTON I. m. h. o. this latest release (v. 4.1.1) is a bad idea. The previous release was 64-bit, this one reverts to 32-bit because of difficulties of running it with Leopard. That penalizes those of us who do run Snow Leopard on 64-bit capable Macs. Wouldn't it be fairer for the developer to release two separate versions for these two clienteles?

No, there is no measurable penalty for small 32-bit apps on Snow Leopard. The opposite is true sometimes, 64 bit apps require more RAM. E.g. all pointers require 8 bytes of memory instead of 4. Nobody demands a 64-bit iTunes. It just works. Dirk Theisen for Objectpark Software

GAZMAN Just because an update has been provided doesn't mean you have to update. I'm happily using version 4.1 in 64 bit mode in Snow Leopard and won't be updating it until I see a significant reason to.

BERTOBOX while an icon might suffice for some, this app, which has integrated beautifully with iCal for many years, is a godsend for those of us who need a stable quick access to any of our calendars on iCal, be they Google-synched or MobileMe-synched, Menu Cal performs a fantastic job. Hardly obtrusive and most-always very stable, I'm more than willing to be a bit forgiving when an upgrade goes slightly bad and one has to revert to a previous version for a short while. I've used this app for several years and have never regretted purchasing it.

DRUMCAT A stupid date icon isn't worth this much hassle. Maybe others use it for more, but with the changes you've made, I've just switched to iStatPro's icon. Bummer, dude. You really should just sell a $1 prog that does several different date icons for the status bar. You would probably outsell your other buggy product.

OBJECTPARK SOFTWARE With our first 64bit version of MenuCalendarClock, we tripped on a bug in Apple's 64-bit Cocoa on 10.5.x. This problem does not occur on 10.6. It does not occur on Machines with "Core 1" processors. It also depends on the recurring events you have in iCal. WORKAROUND: In order to work around this problem, please quit MenuCalendarClock from the "gears" popup menu. Then find the MenuCalendarClock application in the Finder (usually in the Applications folder), hit Cmd-I (or "Get Info"). Find and check the "Open in 32-bit mode" checkbox. Run MenuCalendarClock. This will not harm MCC's operation or performance. We will issue an update ASAP to work around this bug automatically. Dirk Theisen for Objectpark Software

WALRUSCP Any chance we can have a separate 4.1.1 for Snow Leopard that keeps 64-bit?

JEFFREY HARRIS Wow. That was brutal! MenuCalendarClock iCal 4.1 completely choked my machine. It took a good while to be able to force quit 4.1, reload 4.0 from a disk image and reboot. I'm still running Mac OS X 10.5.8. It took some real skill to write an application that will bring down Mac OS X!

DOLPHINBOY2U Same here. It grabbed all remaining RAM (was using 2.7 GB and climbing), and slowed everything to a glacier pace. MenuCalendarClock has lived in my menu bar for several years, so I'm a fan of it, but this particular version has big problems. Maybe your MMV. I'm on 10.5.8

MTCOBRA Just installed 4.1 (after quitting then renaming my previous version just in case) and am glad to report no hang-up. So far working flawlessly on iMac 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo running Mac OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leopard. Previous comments indicating lock-ups were trying, perhaps, to run a 64-bit 4.1 on a Mac still running Leopard. I recommend not upgrading until you've taken the Snow Leopard plunge.

JCHERIAN I am running Mac 10.5.8 on MacBookPro2,2 and MenuCalendarClock iCal 4.1 and I found that the program would consume all free memory. I logged into an admin account (that I rarely use) and found that there are no hangups or huge memory usage there. So I think there is an issue with how the program is reading the iCal file in my profile. Deleting my profile's preferences file net.objectpark.MenuCalendarClock.plist did not help. Reverting back to 4.0.0 did. I will submit this as an email to the developer though the web site http://www.objectpark.net/mcc.html indicates that they provide email support for registered users and I am only registered to 3.x and still undecided about upgrading to 4.x.
