This appears to be a major version upgrade. 3.0 now sports a unified UI and was completely recompiled under the hood for leopard optimization. I must get these new features but wanted to know about upgrade pricing. Never mind. It's a steal at just over 20$ for the hours of enjoyment and now my start up chime will never be the same.

WHY... - Version: 2.7, 12/22/2007 11:26PM PST

...is this app 3.5mb, when the other 2 FREE chime control apps are under 400k?
Does it make Breakfast AND get the kids off to school?
Why would anyone be fool enough to pay USD $21.50 for an app you can get several places for FREE?
AND, if you can do without the Apple alert sounds, you can just go to the Sound Pref Pane, drag the slider to zero and check the MUTE box, for
FREE and would take 9.77797 seconds of your time.
Unbelievable!

Startup Sound Preference pane is free, and does the same thing - Version: 2.7, 11/10/2007 11:56AM PST

there may even be a terminal command to do this.
You can also go to 'sound' in your preference panes and click 'mute'

Lousy entertainment... - Version: 2.6, 9/11/2007 02:09AM PST

AlphaOmega software has come to be part of my nightly entertainment routine.
I immediately know, from their names, which of VT's daily offerings are AO products, and I check them out for the laughs I get from reading peoples' all too accurate comments.
I have NEVER run across a piece of AO software that wasn't a duplication of OS X functionality, a costly alternative to free/donationware, or both.
Further, most, if not all, AO apps are remarkably large d/ls as compared to their functionality, and I must wonder if the developer thinks that large d/ls make hir apps look like they have more substance than they actually have?
And finally, I've never run across a piece of AO software that I'd recommend to even my worst enemy!
Harsh, yeah, but well deserved.
Entertainment, yeah, but LOUSY entertainment!

A simple little app to mute your startup chime for €15 ($20)?? LOL! If you buy this then you are definitely a SUCKER!
There's, for example, the FREE and excellent "Psst", which I've been using for the past few years.
I'd say that AlphaOmegaSoftware SUCKS. All their simple apps are grossly overpriced and are essentially copies of other developers ideas. A most lackluster and uninspiring company that's totally devoid of imagination.

This developer has a history of releasing apps like this. The apps are of little or no value, and most have free or lower cost alternatives, but most people don't search for them.
I tried one of their other apps, and wasn't that impressed. Most of the stuff they put out seems like homework assignments from a basic programming class.

gosh, i'm in a quandary here; maybe somebody can help me out. should i buy Startup Chime Stopper for $15.00, or should i go with StartupSoundPrefPane, which
- gives me the option not only of silencing the startup chord, but adjusting its volume independent of the volume settings in my Sound pref pane, and
- lets me do it all through a simple, intuitive, self-explanatory UI, and
- is free?
i hate these tough questions. can anybody help me out? what would Groucho do?
