• Very good, so mac-like and essential

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />A big fan of the product since it was called USBMonitor, I am always surprised to use a mac that has not it installed, as it feels so much part of mine that I forget it is an add-on! For m, for example, it compensates for the absence of the (rather ugly but useful) network-on light on the Ethernet plug that you usually find on PCs, by showing a visual (and sound) alert whe the network is plugged in. It also helps, when plugging in my Dv camera, and iMovie reacts slowly, to remind me of the fact that even if the camera is plugged, it is often not turned on! Or, it shows a nice alert when my Bluetooth phone gets connected, when in proximity (in conjuction with Salling Clicker, another jewel). All in all a very nice and discreet addition to my system, elegant and carefully crafted. It is integrates naturally in OS X, compensates for the the usual lack of reaction of my mac when anything is plugged ok (ok, we need no confirmation because "the mac just works" but sometimes it is nice to be re-assured that indeed it just works! ;-) ) and it makes my mac all the more a mac, user friendly and non obstrusive! (compare it to the annoying "looking for drivers" alerts on Windows.) And, on top of it, it is so cheap (for the reluctant, try first USBMonitor, still a free program. You'll love it and I bet you'll upgrade to this one)
