Thanks for the info.  Sad.  Another small developer bites the dust.  It's 
hard to support yourself as a small software developer.

Maybe.  I don't know how many people have seen that site.

We talked about that site's recommendations extensively on other 
discussion lists that I am on.  It very much appears that the site's 
recommendations are worthless.  The metadata problems that the site warns 
against don't seem to have been experienced in the real world by anyone.  
For instance, Carbon Copy Cloner is not recommended, yet tens, maybe 
hundreds of thousands of folks use it without a single complaint.
