Pro user or not, you can now increase computer performance with only a few clicks of the mouse. Optimize your network for broadband connectivity, completely customize Apple File Sharing, perform essential maintenance without having to remember mind boggling acronyms, and much more.

Received from developer:

"While it may launch on 10.4, we cannot guarantee compatibility for features. Some may or may not work, however none should remotely cause your system to become corrupt. We will post a final version for 10.4 in the near future. We've only just changed the requirements as we're dropping 10.4 shortly."

updating from within 3.3.6 did not work - Version: 3.3.7, 10/1/2009 09:40AM PST

I had to download the update from here, rather than from within the app itself, a feature I certainly appreciate when it works.

Note: Some features don't apply to Snow Leopard - Version: 3.3.6, 9/20/2009 09:44PM PST

I've been playing with this version of MacPilot in Snow Leopard and found that a few features do not apply, just so no one is surprised. Nothing blows up, no problems are caused that I can find.

What I found does not apply:
