BRUSETH  What a very nice tool. It does so much, and what it does do, it does very well. Thanks for the nice tool, and thanks so much for providing it for free. One thing I would ask though... maybe for slow folks like me, you could provide some documentation/instructions?

Thanks again and keep up the good work!

If you don't want to pay another dollar, stick with you current, paid for, version (If you paid for V.1.8). The developer is doing a great job. Keep up the good work! Thanks for the neat app.

BRUSETH  Sorry, but this is my second post - I hope that's allowed. I just wanted to once again thank the developer. In the last few days he seems to have worked his back-side off trying to accomplish all the requests and answer all the questions that have been posted. In my opinion, it's absolutely perfect! As I said before, with the press of one button, your window is exactly where you wanted, and how big you wanted. Thanks for all the hard work. I really appreciate it.

BRUSETH  This is so very nice. Just a couple of weeks ago, I looked for something/an applescript that would do just this. I made one years ago, but lost it, and since then I've not had the time or the memory on how to make another. It is such a drag (not to sound too lazy) to open a folder, drag it to where I want it to be, and then drag the 'grow corner' to make it the size I want it to be. With this, one click and it's done. Thanks so much to the developer. Keep up the nice work. And… Thanks for making it free.

Saft

BRUSETH  Even though I have the latest version of Safari —> V.3.2(5525.26.12), and the latest version of Saft —>V.10.5.5, I still get an error message saying —> The current version of Safari (v5525.26.12) is not supported, so Saft is not loaded!

When I run Saft to ‘update,’ it tells me that I have (and indeed I do) the latest version.

Anybody know what I'm doing wrong? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I miss having this fine program running on my computer.

CleanApp
Nov 8 2008
***..

BRUSETH  Time after time, version after version I had hoped that they would fix the problems with the ‘CleanApp Daemon’ - but it hasn’t happened. That’s what’s finally prompted me to write this somewhat negative review. Sorry. If you hear a lot of disk activity, your machine slows down, it takes longer for programs to launch, just go to ‘Activity Monitor’ and you will see that the ‘CleanApp Daemon’ is way up there, taxing the heck out of your machine. It (the ‘CleanApp Daemon’) either finally needs to be fixed, or taken out of the program If it can’t be fixed. If it is taken out of the program, then this program will really be just the same as the rest of the similar programs out there, including the free ones. I waited and waited to write this review. I didn’t want to write a bad review, and really hoped they would fix the problem. But seeing that it’s still not fixed, I figured that it is only fair to alert other, potential users of the problem with this app.

Billiards
Sep 19 2008
*....

BRUSETH  Well, let's see what we can do here (Bakno speaking). We aren't selling too many versions of 'MacPool' *and* we offer that nasty, annoying "Free Upgrades" (check for yourselves --> ) thing to our past customers, so why don't we update MacPool, but (keep it among ourselves 'cause this is wickedly clever) instead of calling it 'MacPool,' and allowing the people who purchased MacPool to get a free (and much needed update to this cheesy a$$ game) update, pretend it's a whole new game! We'll call it 'Billiards' and the ignorant fools (me included, I'm afraid ;-)) who bought MacPool will be none the wiser. That way, the suckers who bought 'MacPool' will be forced into buying this 'new' game, called 'Billiards' in order to get any actual improvements to their original game, 'MacPool.'

Wow, you are so very clever. Not only can you code (although the flippin' games (MacPool and Billiards too for that matter), are not really that great in the first place) you are just wizards in the business world too (NOT)!

I've given you my money. I've played nice with you. I've been decent and honest. And now you creeps play this game? Billiards is nothing other than an improvement (however slight) on MacPool. Same game(s), same company - cleverly disguised (or not) name. It should be an update. Instead you offer it as a new game? For additional money? Very dishonest of you.

Garbage companies like this make honest people (like myself) consider using hacked serial numbers and warez sitez. I wish I had checked around and 'got them' before they 'got me.' Amen.

Shame on Bakno, and say 'no' to Bakno and their likes.

BRUSETH  I sure do appreciate this developer/programmer putting together this nice app for all of us iPhone users. But… That being said… This app doesn't work for me. I can load and view my notes via this app (of course I can already do that with my iPhone;-)), but when I make changes to the notes/text, and then try to save these changes to the iPhone, the app shows itself 'uploading' the changes, but it doesn't work/doesn't really 'upload' any of the changes. No changes are saved to the phone. So you can edit the heck out of your notes, but its all for nought. You won't be able to save any of these changes. Bummer! Could it be a matter of incorrect permissions? Anybody have any ideas? Please let me know.

Once again, I appreciate the effort the developer has put forth in creating, and revising this app. I hope of course that one day I will hit the right combination and actually have it work correctly on my iPhone.

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.

MacPool
Feb 24 2008

BRUSETH  Hi 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.

BRUSETH  "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.

BRUSETH  Doesn'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 ;-))))
