XWIZBT  Purchased? Isn't this a public beta? Save your money!

XWIZBT  I had the previous version of this and thought it was great. Sadly this updated version just crashes System Preferences as soon as I click on it.

XWIZBT  Fun, but rather blocky. Opening it in Quartz Composer and editing the text renderer so it produces a rectangular rather than a 2D texture produces much nicer, smoother results. It's less authentic, I guess, but the scaling on the blocky version is so ugly to look at. Perhaps this could be an option?

XWIZBT  Well, it does what it says. Almost. Upon launching one is greeted with a crudely drawn interface and a choice of two buttons. Pressing the play button closes and redraws the window, and one of two things happen: you either win $10 or you spend $1. And that's it. Press 'Cash out' to quit.

There's no animation to speak of, no feedback of any kind, in fact - no reason to play. Simply hold down return and watch as the window flashes away and the value in the bottom corner goes up and down.

Pointless, sadly.

XWIZBT  Nice because it's free. However, I prefer to have my downloads folder somewhere other than the desktop. I've found that starting the download then dragging the file to the desktop while Safari downloads it works just as well. It'd be nice if the developer would just ask Safari where it's put the file and do it that way.

XWIZBT  Excellent! Could do with a couple of 'fake windows' for when you only have one or two open.

XWIZBT  I can't believe how beautiful this is. It's so smooth, as well - amazing quality and quite fascinating to watch.

XWIZBT  Excellent. There's always room for improvement, and X11 always has some drawbacks for the hardened OS X user, but overall I can't complain. This is stunning stuff... and hey - it's free!

XWIZBT  It may well be an idea to research your comments before making them, then, as you risk appearing to be an impetuous fool. I myself am indebted to Inkscape for its simple but complex system, yet another example of how the open-source community can benefit the Mac OS. Keep it up!
