Measles 2.0 released by Stick Software Shareware desktop companion and CPU monitor is all new for OS X Redwood City, CA, December 18, 2002 - Stick Software announced the release of a new product for Mac OS X, Measles. Measles is a fun, bouncy desktop companion that can act as a CPU monitor if so desired. It provides the user with Aqua-style spheres on their desktop that bounce off of windows and each other, adding life and energy to the user's environment. They are highly configurable in their appearance and behavior, and if desired, can change colors to indicate the load on the user's processor, free memory or disk space. They even make sounds when they bounce! <File attached: measlesample2.jpg> Measles joins Stick Software products such as Eyeballs, BigFoot, Issa and Fracture in making OS X more fun and more aesthetic. It is shareware, with a price of $10, but is free to try, and like all Stick Software products, does not use registration codes or annoying timed delays to encourage registration. It is designated as version 2.0 because there was a previous version written many years ago now for the old Mac OS (now lost in the mists of time). http://www.sticksoftware.com/software/Measles.html (Measles' home page) http://www.sticksoftware.com/software/Measles.dmg.gz (Direct download URL) About Stick Software Stick Software is a developer of top-quality shareware, freeware and open-source products for Mac OS X. Our slogan is "Anti-Productivity Tools for the Discerning User". We want to make computers fun, friendly, easy and aesthetic. Our software will probably never help you balance your checkbook, do your taxes, schedule meetings, or write the Great American Novel. But it will brighten your day - or so we hope. As for the "discerning user" part, well, that's up to you. But our hope is that you will recognize that Stick Software is kind of a special company. Unlike so many other companies, we place our trust in you to be honest and pay for our software. And that makes your life easier. No cryptic 22-digit license keys, no issues with proof of registration, no partially functional software prior to registration. We're different because of our quality, too. Shareware and freeware often have the reputation (sometimes deserved) for being flaky, buggy, and ill-maintained. Stick Software tries to buck that image. We stand behind our software's quality 100%. We don't release software with any (repeat, any) known bugs. Wouldn't it be nice if other software houses had this policy too? Imagine, bug-free software.... And more: if we release a bug fix, or even a feature upgrade, we wouldn't dream of making you pay more money to get it. Once a registered user, always a registered user. (What a concept!) We're here for you, the discerning user. If you find bugs, or want features added, let us know. If you have ideas for great new products that fit in with our philosophy, drop us a line. And if you appreciate the software we've already made, or the philosophy behind it, please send in your payment. For more information, visit http://www.sticksoftware.com.
