    PONYBOYCURTIS  This is freakin' awesome (to steal the tagline of a now-defunct Mac magazine). Absolutely perfect for what it does, it flushes the cache automatically, and is not ridiculously cumbersome like certain other utilities that do the same thing. Thank you for keeping us from writing shell scripts that would only confuse our average users!

    NICHOLASDWILSON  Fantastically simple to use - does what it says it does. Sure beats mucking around in terminal or screwing with the private/etc/hosts file. I've encountered no bugs so far.
