Cocktail ReviewI'll stick to MainMenu - Version: 4.0.2, 7/14/2008 09:28PM PST

For what it is worth. MainMenu is a free app, and it does all of this stuff. Use it along with AppCleaner (also free) and you'll be fine. Both are light weight and do their job well, with a superb interface for both.

There is no fee for this upgrade, and I will make sure to spread the word. Several calls I got from
persons who told me that the upgrade wasn't taking their serial number...
They will issue you a new serial number if you find that your old serial number didn't work, and they will answer your emails. They are very fast at this as well...
They obviously have a good reason to need to issue a new serial number, and this is one of the few
applications where you can assure yourself of this.

Version 4 is a free update for registered users. However, all registered users will need a new serial number for version 4. By updating your registration information at

http://registration.maintain.se

a new serial number will be e-mailed to you.

This information was sent to all users in October 2007 but unfortunately it seems that you never received. We are very sorry for the inconveniences you have been experiencing.
