    Keeps getting...

    ...better with each release! Amazing software and really shows off the potential of what one person could do knowing some ObjectiveC and Cocoa! I believe Steve Jobs stated once that with Cocoa someone will create the next killer app, will Karelia Software has! Keep up the good work!

    Excuse me!?

    Is it not a bit cheeky to keep updating the version number every time you add a new service when, in truth, the app has remained virtually the same?

    Imagine if Apple keeped uping the version number of Sherlock every time someone released a new Sherlock plugin? "Sherlock 10. Now with support for socceracronyms.com" LOL

    Re: Excuse me!?

    No, they haven't updated the version number every time they've added tools; tools have been added to 1.0 and 1.1 via the 'install tools' command. 1.1.1 was a bugfix. 1.5 has a bunch of new features, an updated architecture, new icons (wheee!), and an overall nicer GUI. So it's not cheeky in the least! And it's a free update, so... :)

    Plenty of Beef

    Watson is a knockout application! I paid for it 5 minutes after launching it for the first time. Everyone I show it to, Mac or PC user, is absolutely blown away! My brother, a die-hard PC developer, was speechless and OS X certainly helped. Watson convinced several friends that it's time to switch to OS X, too.

    Version 1.5 is a nice step forward.

    Watson 1.5 Rocks!

    OK, the subject of this message is sophomoric, but Watson just made it to grad school. The new update has som incredible new features, and it was very good to start with. Thanks, Dan, for all your hard work!! It's one of the best helper apps I have!!
