Thankyou.

ZZAMBONI Really nice timer program. The system-wide hotkey makes it very easy to set up new alarms, and the ability to handle multiple timers simultaneously is very useful, as is the variety of ways in which the notifications can be made.

FREDDUCKER I don't understand why half the commands in the main window are greyed out and I cannot modify them - for example the "alert sound" menu is greyed out and cannot be modified, but also the "do script" - "speak message" and "wake up computer" commands are totally greyed out and cant be clicked on and off.

Don't download this unless it's not an important appointment you have to go to, or you can spare time to read the help files for a program which should be intuitive and easy to use!

NICHOLAS RILEY Sorry, these features are not implemented yet. This is just an interim Leopard update; I hope to have them finished at some point in the future.

FREDDUCKER So what's the point in putting up for download a half-baked program? Some people like me clicked the link because they needed something to download and install and be sure they could use it as an alarm clock and actually wake up! Not to go through the hassle of downloading, installing, trying to figure out and then "oh bad luck you can't try all the features yet and have to be beta testers for me" NO! people want to download a program that is fully functional, set it up and then go to sleep and be sure it'll wake them up (or anything else). Please include in the description of the program that it isn't complete!

NICHOLAS RILEY You’re right—leaving those controls there doesn't make much sense. I just pushed out a new version (21) which removes them until I can get them to work. If you're already using Pester 1.1b5, just choose "Check for Updates..." from the Pester menu and you should be all set.

BONGOMAN1 Hey Fred

Keep your hair on my friend. It's a free app that many people are happy with. Poor you, having gone through the hassle of downloading Pester and installing it. That must have killed you.

Thanks Nicholas ofr your efforts in making this available. Please ignore Fred.

ZZAMBONI It boggles my mind that some people can be so rude and demanding with developers that offer their work for free.

Pester is the best timer program that I have found, it does what it's meant to do and I personally found it very easy to use.

ANONYMOUS This was exactly what I was looking for. I hated opening up Meeitng Maker every day, when I only needed it once in a blue moon. Thanks for the great effort!
