POIKKEUS  This pull-down contains a full range of typical diagnostics, including cleaning and rebuilding files - as well as a utility guaranteed to gut any trash. Perform Disk Utility from the desktop, working invisibly in the background, or trash your caches; when it's on, all you see is a glowing MainMenu icon.

MainMenu is an all-purpose diagnostic - not quite as heavy-duty as Onyx - but it's also faster and less obtrusive.

ORION MK. V  I'd be sad to see MainMenu sold, as it's really the most intuitive cron jobs and maintenance tool out there. Hopefully it doesn't go the way of the Do-Do if sold.

ANONYMOUS  As a software developer, I contacted santasw to see what they had in mind. The "rights" to mainmenu, the santasw.com domain, and the current user information database is for sale. The source code is not. I am not certain what these "rights" include. I do not consider this to be a serious proposal to sell.

BILLY RAY VALENTINE  and i don't consider a system maintenance program written in realbasic and with insecure authorization methods (the last time i checked) to be a serious competitor.

TONY AGUILA  The built-in Check for Updates... function does not work, not even on this latest version--tried it on several machines. Good thing that I have MacUpdate alerts.

IGREG  Probably the easiest to use of the maintenance utilities.

I always thought that SmartReporter and MainMenu should be combined into one program, or maybe with another menu utility it can compliment.

I do not know how hard the owner of MM is trying to sell, but if I were him I would be calling around to owners of other menu utilities and make a pitch on how MM can compliment what they already have.

GULLI  MainMenu is simply the best of its class, many thanks!

But I fear it will become unsupported now?

What's with Snow Leopard and so on?

BTW: Please don't sell it to Roxio =:-/
