For those looking to bring back the magic of location manager, what about trying Location X?

Bought this sight unseen based on an enthusiastic review (I know, I know, shame on me!) desiring to get back some of the Apple Location manager magic. Well, all this POS does is quit when I try to remove locations I don't even have any more! Stupidly, I thought it would read that I made adjustments in my Network panel of my System Preferences, but not the case. So when I try to delete a location manually, the app quits. There's another $25 wasted. Try something else. Please.

Since adopting Mac OS X I have missed my location manager control panel, especially since I am much more mobile that I was then (imagine carrying my Performa home on the weekends!). I have been on the lookout for a replacement, but have found none until NetworkLocation. If you move between many networks, each with its own settings and printers, you should find NetworkLocation a very helpful utility. 2.0 introduced auto-sensing of the network and it switches your settings for you. Now that I have set up most of my and my clients locations, when I open my MacBook Pro I know that it will auto-sense the network and choose the correct printer. IMHO, very much worth the $25 (especially since the 2.0 upgrade was free to 1.0 users). I give it 4 starts rather than 5 because I think the programmers could add some other features to make this even more "location specific", like triggering of scripts or events (say, to open applications) based on the network sensed.
