Product Description:

UltraPointer allows the user to increase the visibility of the mouse pointer/cursor by overlaying a mark to the area around the cursor. This mark can either be a circle, ring, or crosshair, and has user-definable transparency, size, and color. UltraPointer eliminates the need to bring a laser-pointer along to presentations, and can help users with impaired vision.

Paid for the product but never got a registration key. I written the developer but received no response. Avoid this product.

I don't know what happened to this guy. Maybe he's in jail or dead or something. I bought uPointer with my credit card, when the receipt from Paypal came, there was no registration number. I've emailed this guy my receipt about five times at all his various email addresses, but he will not reply. I sent it from my main email account and gmail, just in case his reply was getting blocked by the filters on my mail server, but alas, nothing. Very frustrating. I've done everything I can do. I'll have to refuse payment when the cc bill arrives.

I have a 17" powerbook, 1.67 GHz. uPointer works well, so I bought it.

At work I have three 23" Apple Cinema displays (1920x1200 each) on my new dual 2.7 GHz 2GB RAM PowerMac G5. Two displays are connected to the ATI Radeon 9650 256MB AGP, the third connected to an older ATI PCI card with 32MB.

When using uPointer, the system is VERY sluggish. Running "top" in a terminal window, the uPointerAg application itself was using about 4% CPU, but WindowServ was using well over 100% (both CPUs were busy). "top" reported "CPU usage: 98% user"

So I switched to PinPoint which seems to work perfectly.
