Farewell, C & G
The big news in the Mac market today is that longtime software publisher Casady & Greene is closing its doors, with all software reverting back to the individual developers. Casady & Greene's tour de force in software publishing was Conflict Catcher, which eased the process of troubleshooting control panel and extension conflicts in OS 9 and below. It was a primary weapon in any Mac troubleshooter's arsenal, but alas, it has no place in an OS X world. The only other C & G product I've used, and continue to use, is Spell Catcher, which will continue in development through its developer, Rainmaker Research. After Apple bought SoundJam and turned it in to iTunes, and OS X began to dominate the landscape, it was only a matter of time. So we bid Casady & Greene a fond farewell, and thank them for taking the risk on publishing some great software.
