Cocktail - 3.7

I thought that the changes looked familiar. When I did a get-info on the C o c ktail I have installed, it says v3.7.2. What's up with that?

[Humorous side note: I had to add spaces to the name of the product, because otherwise the preview of this comment displayed it as "*censored*tail". :-) ]

sfeld: I've used *censored*tail (watch out for that crazy censor) for three years, on OS X 10.2, 3 and 4 without a single problem. It has an overall rating of 4.4 out of 5; if that's not high enough for you then that's your business. But a few bad reviews out of over 600 hardly suggest a flawed product. As for removing bad reviews, that would not be ethical. The best that can be done is for people who like the product to rate it highly, as I have done. That said, no one could or should try to force you to use something about which you have qualms.

Among similar products of equal stature, only Onyx is rated slightly higher - 4.5 - most likely because it's free rather than because it performs any better.

I have used cocktail for a year on 3 different Macs and have found the program both useful and flawless.

it corrupted my macs (iMac G5 1.8 MHz and iBook G4 1.2 MHz)

I have to reinstall mac OS X almost 5th times.

Bought this contraption last week and installed it. The very first night it took my G4 into some form of C++ programming mode that took me over 2 hours to get out of. That is, it quit all applications, screen goes black with no mouse control and the white lettering expects you to figure out what the hell the correct command line request answer is! after dicking around in the directory for acout 2 hours, I finall y figured out that the answer it wanted was "localhost#: answer? logout type return...so if you download this piece of crap and it does this to you just remeber this is how to get your system back before you go in too far and wreck something basic operation in your subsystem. I of course emailed the author the next day with the deatails and I still haven't heard from him. He's got my $30.00, which I don't expect to see again. I can only chalk it up to experience and be happy I didn't do something serious to me best friend, my Mac. cheers all. Be careful.there are monsters under your bed!!!
