Mac Restart X Commentary$20? Way too much. - Version: 1.4, 7/30/2009 10:16PM PST

JonYo
It seems like a nice little app that does a few more things than the built-in scheduled restart feature you find in the Energy Saver control panel. However, $20 is waaaaay too much to charge for it. $3 or $4 maybe, but $20? No way.

Why in the name of Bob are you charging, let alone, making this app for a feature that is built into the system? Anyone can access the Energy Saver Preferences and start up, wake, shut down and YES frikkin RESTART their computer.

Defend thy self lest ye be revealed as a No-ware Salesman.

If someone is going to say, " Oh but this crap tells you before it shuts down." Then you are indeed correct. Just set an iCal Alarm to warn you just before it shuts down.

Make things the system doesn't do already in an obvious way.

But don't feel too bad... Just look at the bantha doo doo that's flooding the iTunes App Store. Did Apple announce a build a better flashlight contest?

As far as a can tell 95% of software blows. Guess where this is being lumped?

Mac Restart X ReviewUsed for a few years and I like it. - Version: 1.1.2, 11/26/2007 09:04AM PST

Charles Teton
I've been using this for a few years on a PowerBook G4 server that I have on 24/7. It does just what it says, in my case restarts at 6.00 am and all the apps open up via Apple Preferences in the Login Items. About the cost. My time is worth more that the asking price so its worth it to me. Hope this helps
