Growl support! Yes! I'd notch this application up another half star from my earlier 4 stars, but I'll just have to round it up to 5. This developer rocks. Two out of my 3 emailed requests have come to fruition. Nothing like watching my shareware fee dollars in action.

Another one of those “why didn’t Apple do this?” apps.
Gotta love it! It just keeps getting better and better.
