GILBREEN  For those, like me, who have moved to an Intel Mac and have been missing this great program, I just stumbled upon beta version on plasq.com's website (they are apparently purchasing the software).

Seems to be working great on my Mac mini.

Enjoy!

FOULGER  Oh for an update that is Universal Binary. PV now stops working on my new Mac Pro. Seems like part of me died!

BTW Harware Growler DOES NOT do what peripheral Vision does - its only a halfway house. On boot up it brings a new window for each connected device and if speech is enabled, at startup its a cacophony of noise as each of my 19 external devices is mentioned.

PV is simply unique and I wish this talented author would "come alive" one more time and make a uB version thats going to work on Intel Macs now and in Leopard for the future.

SIDETRACKED  Fine, works well, but as noted below, Hardware Growler does the exact same thing for free...

ANONYMOUS  might be worth checking out hardware growler, part of the growl package. It does pretty much the same thing as p.v. but is free and fits into growl perfectly

ANDREW AUSTIN  Visually conflicts with some of the existing pop-ups (bluetooth keyboard connect, etc). The developer never replied to my questions about that. It has some nice features, but without addressing those problems, is a waste of my money.

PAULSRANDALL  Everything is perfect, now. With version 1.6.2 colors returned. With this version (1.6.3) less interaction with Console is welcome. The software has lots of features that you can customize to your own needs.

ANONYMOUS  I guess I am one of the lucky ones as I've had none of the issues listed and the app works well for me.

MRANDRE  The definition of Software as it Ought to Be. Invisible, except when you need it. Provides (more or less) useful information. The design expansions make sense. It's always been somewhat troubling that there is not much feedback when you plug some devices in, unless you know where to look. Having the visual feedback is a delight.

GRANTED SOFTWARE  The installer has been fixed and should now install properly on all supported Mac OS X versions. Sorry for the inconvenience.

STEVE JACOBS  There seems to be a bug in the installer script that prevents installing PV 1.5 on 10.3 (7B85).

The installer fails with this message:

There were errors installing this software.

Please try installing again.

I should mention that I just got Panther today so it's a fresh install.

Can anyone also confirm this with Panther?

ANONYMOUS  Successor to USB monitor, this keeps the reputation of Granted Software (maker of Still Life, for movie pans, check it too).

The software does one and only one thing, but well and discreetly.

Stable, clean, elegant, it helps you find out if this stupid printer got plugged or if you had your digital camera on!
