Type: ReviewDate: 14 Apr 2008 07:11Works great now. It must have been the apostrophe bug that caused it to mess up before. Thanks for this very useful app.

Type: ReviewDate: 25 Mar 2008 17:41This is outstanding. It looks great, and appears very professionally done. Wow! I can't believe you are letting us have this for free. It is so very nice. Thanks a lot for the cool game. I'm afraid I'm going to be wasting a whole lot of time playing it - but that's a good thing ;-)) Thanks again.

Type: CommentsDate: 23 Mar 2008 03:11I 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.

Type: CommentsDate: 24 Feb 2008 20:00Hi Huricaneefl - Try contacting them again maybe. It's a hassle, I know, but I just got a new iMac a couple of days ago after my old one died and when I contacted them to retrieve my old serial number for MacPool, they sent it to me within hours. It didn't work at first, claiming the number was already registered on another machine, but when I emailed them about that, they replied real quickly and apologized because they forgot to reset the serial number. I hope this works for you. Best of luck. Ken B.

Type: Hint/TipDate: 18 Jun 2007 19:29Like I told the other poster -->
Just go to your date and time preference panel and put your date back a year or so and then start the program and you will be able to use it. Not an elegant solution, but one that works in a pinch. good luck.

Type: ReviewDate: 14 Jul 2006 13:02Thanks for this nice app and all the work you (the developer) are putting into it. It works great for me. Keep up the good work!

Type: ReviewDate: 21 May 2006 16:00This is so very cool. Easy and convenient to use. Maybe in the future we could pick a file to use as our default alarm rather than having to pick one every time? Thanks to the developer for this neat app. Very generous of the developer to supply this app for free. Thanks very much!

Type: CommentsDate: 11 May 2006 19:13"So, after you've copied it off the disk image, it simply refuses to run? Do you see the main window at all or does it just not appear and nothing happens?"
Yes, I was able to see the main window. But none of the buttons worked/did anything, except for the update button - that button changed to show it was updating, but nothing ever happened. I couldn't even quit the app from the 'file' menu. I had to go down to the dock and control click on the app's icon and then select 'quit' to quit the app. There was something in the main window that said 'checking,' so I left it on all night in the hopes that it would have done the 'checking' it needed to do, and then it would be ready to do its thing, but to no avail. BTW, there was nothing (no dialog) box that came up and offered to install the 'engine.' Not until later --> see below
'Where are you copying it to?'
I copied it to a sub folder in the 'Applications' folder. But when I saw that you had posted back to me, I downloaded it again, copied to my desktop, started it up from there, and it worked! It asked me to install the engine, and after I allowed it to do so, I ran the app, and everything worked fine. Could it be because it was in a sub folder in the Application folder instead of being at the 'root' of the Application folder? Weird that it worked off of the mounted disk image, isn't it?
Anyways, thanks for replying Mark. I didn't mean to bad rap your app. I really do appreciate folks like you who go through all the effort to provide cool things to us Mac users. I made the mistake of posting after I got off of work yesterday. So I was a little cranky - I teach kids with emotional and behavior problems, that should explain my frame of mind ;-)) Sorry, I didn't mean to be mean to you. Thanks for the neat app.
Take care.

Type: ReviewDate: 10 May 2006 20:23Doesn't work for me at all. It runs off of the mounted disk image (which is very odd), but not from the actual coppied to my hard drive app itself. I tried installing the 'engine' separately, but still no luck. EXTREMELY confusing, and quite inconvenient. I'm not going to jump through the hoops of posting to their forums to find an answer - I've already invested enough time on this thing. Besides, what browsing I already did on their forum didn't suggest any answers. Kind of disgusted. I always appreciate a free app, but I can't help but think that the developer didn't supply enough info with this app, and caused all sort of frustation in the process. No deductions in the ratings though - mainly 'cause I'm such a nice guy ;-))))

Type: ReviewDate: 30 Apr 2006 12:31Cute thingy. Fun to punch in different, significant dates. I've been married 108,640 minutes. Wow! And it seems like yester-minute ;-)) Thanks for the cool widget.
