Homeland Alert ReviewJack Bower Likes It ! - Version: 3.6.5, 2/8/2007 10:52AM PST

If this little app is good enough for Jack Bower, it's dahm well good enough for me. To think that a sophisticated alert system used by the CTU is available to Mac users — almost for free! Well, I just can't think of one reason not to take full advantage of this perk. Downlaod it, install it — help fight the forces of darkness and evil, though as we now know, some of them have probably infiltrated the inner circles of the government and the very agencies that are supposed to protect us. Sigh. Well, that's beyond our power to change. Some things will just have to be left up to Jack. I rate this app 24 stars. Don't try to reply or contact me, I'll be going dark now. ************************
