I tried this for a few minutes before it annoyed me so much with 10-second countdowns (my punishment for trying it) that I threw it away. All of sylvank's comments are accurate.

• When you launch the application, it displays the serial number entry dialog, and then immediately displays an alert that says "Please enter a valid name and serial number. (OK)" When you click OK, the alert goes away so you can click the Later button in the serial number dialog to start a 10-second countdown, and after the 10 seconds are up, you can use the program. Why is there a separate alert? Does he think that people can't figure out what two text fields labeled Name and Serial Num are for?
• The above even happens the very first time you launch it.
• The File menu has no items in it.
• The Preferences command is always dimmed.
• I added two web sites to the list and every time I clicked the Now button (to have it check them) I got the nag/serial number dialog and had to wait for another 10-second countdown.

Feature set is very minimal. You can list multiple sites to monitor, but you can only have one e-mail address to which the application should send an e-mail and you only have one checking frequency for all sites.

This may be a handly little application, but I didn't keep it around long enough to find out. There's no excuse in my mind for turning out something this unpolished, especially when it does so little. Seriously, Cut, Copy, Paste, Clear, and About WebsiteStatus are the only working menu commands. He could have spent another hour and made it noticeably better than it is.

Frankly, this is the kind of product that gives shareware a bad name. I couldn't even think about paying for like this.
