	Jan 20 2009	LAPTOPLEON This still works fine with 10.5 - for example using a text editor to edit /private/etc/apache2/php.ini (Version 1.2.3)		+1

DANCO Sooner or later Rosetta will cease to work. We need an Intel or Universal program that works like Pseudo.

	Jul 14 2007	DRDUL I thought I should add a review here, as the previous one is two years old. Even though Pseudo is apparently a PPC app and nota Universal app, I use it on a brand-new Mac Pro with OS X10.4.10 with no problem at all. It's a handy app that save me from having to log out of my day-to-day account and log in to my admin account just to do some minor task. (Version 1.2.3)		0

	Mar 29 2005	ANONYMOUS Will this work with Tiger? Also, I wish there were an easy way to quit the sudo Finder that Pseudo makes. (Version 1.2.3)		0

XSMURF You could use TinkerTools to add a Quit option to the Finder.

	Mar 19 2002	ANONYMOUS Was really awesome until it stopped working after the second time I used it. Deleting it and the preference file, then reinstalling didn't work either. (Version 1.2)		0
