TypeIt4Me X - 1.0fc1

After 28 days of trying to get an answer from Ettore about the sudden failure of TypeIt4Me to retain its registration data, I have come to a sad conclusion. Ettore must be out of business. Most of the published email addresses they give have been bouncing. At least one of those addresses doesn't bounce, but it also doesn't produce any response. I enlisted help from their payment processor, Kagi, and they tried to reach Ettore, also without success. I don't know what has happened -- they used to provide good support and were quite responsive, and the software (when it works) is great, but without a means of registering it, it becomes quickly unusable. I can't recommend that anyone send a shareware payment for it under the circumstances.

On my machine(s) I use it since many many years and rely on it. It's extremely helpful. In contrast to the last posting I can even correct misspelt words and still get expansion. Developers feedback and help (seldom needed) is very prompt. A real time and nerve saver, worth every penny.

I did not use typinator, which seems to offer about the same features. I use(d) popchar from the same company and there I get nerve killing offers for (payed) updates - so I do not see a reason to try out something different.
