Farewell Now Software, aka Up-to-Date

Mark M sent me the link last night/this morning. I’m not sure if it was the economy that knocked the company down for the count. I would say it was more the one-two combo of iCal being free and Nighthawk becoming vaporware; the promised version 5 (or whatever) had been promised for at least two years. Then not being CalDAV compliant was the KO for me.

I’m going to keep using in conjunction with iCal until it stops working. My guess would be when Rosetta is removed from Mac OS X.

So many great memories, around 15 years of it and probably two previous versions. Yes, I had strayed temporarily with After Dark’s Espresso because I was seduced by their licensed Star Trek: NG look and animation but the novelty wore off when it proved to be limited.

Still, it was a good run for one piece of software which became mandatory on every portable I’ve owned.
