MITCH_DE  Bench compiled with on speed optimisattion for C2D+ CPU´s.

Some features your CD didnt have.

Also your GPU cant to only OpenCL commands - only much newer gpu cant run OpenCL.

Easy to remember: An GPU which cant do CoreImage, cant do OpenCL too.

So you missed nothing real, because you wont get any GPU OpenCL time values, even i would recompile the bench for CD cpus also.

I will change the CPU needs from Intel CPU to Intel C2D, Intel XEON Series and an GPU which allows OpenCL. (near all Macs build 2008 and later).

ARMADILLU  Actually I can run coreImage filters and shaders, but just just found that only a few of the newer cards can do openCL:

J-A-X  How about giving people a few days to test it out, not just seconds.  
(Version 1.02)

ARMADILLU  Well you'll agree with me that this is a screensaver. It's not like a text editor you need to "work with it" or something. I think this is reasoanble now.

BRIONYBOB  You might think it's reasonable; the rest of us will vote with our wallets. I like to leave a screensaver on my mac for a while, and if I like seeing it after a few days, I consider shelling out cash.

A sixty-second preview isn't going to make me rush to an impulse buy, and draconian shareware puts me off even more.

ARMADILLU  No one is forcing you to buy what you don't like. And realistically, you really have to like a screensaver a lot to actually pay for it. This a very unique screensaver. The idea is simple, and it doesnt change over time. It will behave the same after 60 seconds, or 60 days.

I'm not trying to rip anyone off, like most shareware apps that you can see around. This is not a clone of anything else around, it's not badly and cheaply coded; this comes from creativity and lots of effort on coding the desired behaviors. It's sad to hear comments like that one, and makes me wonder if I should move away from this. Do you think i'm a billionare bc I get 7 euros from everyone who buys this? I do it mainly for fun, and make sme happy to hear people enjoy playing with what I do.

I've released tons of sucessful freeware before this, this is just a test to see how shareware works in numbers.

BRIONYBOB  I wouldn't dream of suggesting you're trying to rip anyone off. I'm suggesting that a longer trial period would entice me to buy it, while a sixty second period makes me feel you're being stingy. That's all - you can't possibly rip people off with a screensaver; if you like it, you pay for it. If not, you don't.

I just thought your comment about it not being a word processor and not needing to be tried out was a little rude and short sighted. If you can increase sales by allowing a longer trial period, well then you've lost nothing, have you?

ARMADILLU  Didnt mean to be rude at all, sorry if it seemed like. English is not my mother language, sorry if I offended anyone.

I hear your suggestion, but honestly I believe its fair as it is. Might look "short sighted" to you, might not to others. Thanks for trying to help me out though!

MRK  A suggestion: don't make bugs disappear in Test mode. That's enough to see it working.

BRUSETH  I think that 60 seconds is too little of a time to properly evaluate this screensaver. I wouldn’t look at something for 1 minute and decide to buy it. I know some will criticize this and say, ‘but heck, this is less than you’d spend on a pizza,’ but I, personally, don’t spend money that freely (I live on a school teacher’s salary). If I checked this out for a week, and enjoyed the heck out of it, then I would think, ‘I really like this and would not want to get rid of it - so I better pay the shareware price the author wants for it.’ But to look at it for 60 seconds and then make that decision? It’s not going to happen. As a matter of fact, knowing that it’s only going to go for 1 minute, and then stop, or whatever it does, makes me decide that it isn’t worth the effort to download it and then remove it in the event that I don’t want it.

As an aside, and certainly not to criticize the author who seems like a very decent fellow, I think that many things that were offered as free a year or so ago on the Mac platform, are now being charged for. I guess I don’t blame anybody for that (even thought I bring it up). If a hundred thousand people download a shareware and only one percent of those people register/pay for that item, the shareware author is able to make, at $10 per item, a cool $10000 dollars! That is an allure I most certainly would have a hard time passing up. I only mention this because I have spent the last few months on a PC (my Mac’s motherboard was fried), and while I wondered around in PC world, I noticed that just about everything, as far as shareware, or what I thought would normally be presented as freeware, was being charged for. After doing the math, and realizing the large number of users in the PC market, I came to realize that writing shareware programs could be an extremely lucrative sideline. I guess that the Mac shareware authors have caught on to the ‘game.’ Less and less freeware, and more and more shareware/’donation ware. Oh well, if I had the ability to write this stuff, I probably would be doing the same thing. Best of luck to one and all.
