	Jan 1 2007	GRUMPYTICO Oh come on. You get the same functionality by having the Energy Saver menu item!!! It takes ONE click to move from Better Performance to Better Energy Saver w/o any 3rd party tool installed. Don't tell me you did not know this before writing this software? (Version 1.2)		-1

	Sep 9 2005	ANONYMOUS Stop posting this "FastAndSlow" crap. FastAndSlow is a very poor alternative. Its installer might crash, it doesn't work correctly on PowerMacs, it installs a MenuCracker which will patch your system, it might open a security hole which is confirmed by the author, it has no reference manual, etc. You get what you pay for...

LLSCOTTS I agree. FastAndSlow is totally reliable and easy to use. I've used it on my PowerMac G5 for over a year now with no problem whatsoever. There's absolutely no need to pay for this functionality.

ANONYMOUS there's already a couple of freewares that do this or something very similar to this

DAVIS1 Well, he did the work and it's his right to request a little bread for his product if that is what he wants to do. That said I look forward to downloading your free Applescript from MU :-)

ANONYMOUS You don't even need Applescript. To do what this application is doing ...

sudo pmset reduce 1 (CPU=High)

sudo pmset reduce 0 (CPU=Low)

sudo pmset dps 1 (CPU=Auto)

pmset has a lot of useful options - try man pmset

DIDLEDEE @Anonymous: So how can I use this pmset thing to switch the mode with a single mouse click? And where can I download your free application?

JUNIUS MALPERT If you're going to start issuing sudo commands on the terminal, you'd better restor to System Preferences - easier and faster.

And this piece of soft is intended, I suppose, to be even easier and faster than that, but although the guy is entitled to ask for it whatever he feels like, I think it is not worth it. If a freeware able to do this does not exist, someone will come up with one sooner or later (and don't wonder if it turns out to be better than this).

ANONYMOUS People dont seem to realise the work that goes into writing programs for all you non developers out there.

I am not anything to do with this app, though it IS shareware. So quit ur complainin.

ANONYMOUS If you are going to complain about someone charging for software, go and write a better one yourself.

Software Development takes time, time = money. People these days think developers should work for free and all they should have to pay for is the hardware.
