Guiffy CommentaryMessy desktop?? - Version: 7.3, 5/8/2006 08:10AM PST

johnsawyercjs
I don't know what Pentium Bunny defines as a "desktop", but as many people know, one way to describe it is that it's what you see when you don't have any windows open. It's where many people place icons of files, folders, etc., or aliases/shortcuts to them, for easy access. A disorganized desktop would be one where there are dozens of these icons scattered about. But the screen shots on the Guiffy web site don't show any of this--there are Guiffy sample windows shown in the screenshots, and of what little one can see of the desktop behind them, there are only a few icons on the desktop, and only in a few of these screenshots.

Guiffy ReviewSuch An Informative "Review"...NOT! - Version: 6.4, 10/23/2004 01:56PM PST

This will come as a surprise to you, Pentium Bunny: words mean things. In VersionTracker's terminology, there's actually a difference between a Commentary (which your 3-star post actually is) and a Review (which your 3-star post actually is not). If you have even bothered to use Guiffy, there's no evidence to support it in your "review". Sheesh...

Five stars to Guiffy for the fact that it works so well in so many different applications. I happen to own it as part of my Surround SCM license, meaning I've actually used it in Mac OS X, and I know plenty of other users who are happy with its functionality in Windows.

BTW, I checked out the screen shots over which Pentium Bunny felt obligated to vomit into this forum, and his/her suggestion that the desktops are "messy" is pretty good fiction, as long as you don't define "pretty good fiction" as containing any actual truth. The desktops are fine...but even if they weren't, I'm not at all sure when that became a valid criterion for reviewing software that one has never bothered to use.
