Has the most annoying nag ever - Mark Nutter

The unregistered version is intended only as a demonstration of what the program is and does; it is not designed to be useful for regular day-to-day work. I put in the time limit to encourage users to decide up front to either register it or uninstall it, as you clearly have done. Based on your negative feedback however I think it would be better for me to make it more clear in my next release that the demo is time-limited and is not for production use.

By the way, regarding Quit and Close being disabled: there is a Quit button in the dialog box that comes up when the time limit expires, and you can exit the application by clicking on it or hitting the Enter key (in fact that's about all you can do).

As for features, the 1.0.x series is fairly minimal at this point, but I do have some extra features planned for version 1.1 and 2.0. The 1.1 will be a free upgrade, and 2.0 will be only slightly more expensive.
