At last, at long last! I've been waiting since March 24 for the Carbonized version of MT-Newswatcher to appear-- and now it's finally here! Ha ha ha haaah! No more butt-ugly Classic windows taking up all the vertical real estate and underlapping the Dock so I can't resize the windows! No more choppy graphic display! One more step toward being Classic-free!
...Well, not quite. Apparently the new version doesn't take into account the Dock, so it still underlaps the Dock at the bottom of the screen. Shozbot.
But still! MT-Newswatcher is/was one of three Classic apps that I use regularly, and now that Photoshop is on its way, I'll soon be down to one: NiftyTelnet/SSH. I still need a telnet/SSH client with good session management, automatic login, window preferences, Command-clicking on URLs and other text, and all the other goodies. It still amazes me that nobody has seen fit to Carbonize NiftyTelnet/SSH or any of the other clients that do the same thing. How can people continue to ignore this functionality?
(And please don't tell me "Just use the Terminal"! C'mon... there's a command-line FTP too, but it hasn't stopped people from writing better FTP programs like Fetch and Anarchie.)
At any rate, MT-Newswatcher is finally here, and that's a big piece of my little usability puzzle. Good ol' Simon Fraser comes through in the clutch. Hip hip Hooray!
