Turly O'Connor, author of the popular FinderPop utility, writes: "FinderPop, like most of today's INITs and control panels, will never run in its current form on OS X. I am planning something with similar basic functionality, but it will be rather difficult to achieve the level of integration of the OS 9 version."

Is this something recent ? If that is a quote from his web site then it has been like that for at least 6 months. Does anyone know what he is up to ?

This is the best piece of "make my life easier" software I have ever used, and I sorely miss it already. I hope Turly can reasonably duplicate it in OS X. If he can, we will both lift a pint to the man.
FinderPop is great - I'd perform unspeakable acts just to get an 'Open With...' - function into my OS X Contextual Menu. Is that somehow extra hard to implement in OS X?

CMMs aren't supported under OS X 10.0, thus they would be rather hard to hack. =)
Forget x-button mouses or trackpads. Just give us FinderPop. It does everything you might want from a second button and much more elegantly.
OS X has already some FinderPoppish behavior, e.g. in the Dock. But I want it sytem-wide, always, everywhere. Please Turly, convince Apple that they should hire you to build it into the kernel...
This isn't linux. Everything doesn't go in the kernal.

Turly O'Connor is da man
Finderpop is the thing I miss the most about running mac os 9.1. It sure bugs me to right click and not see Turly's wonder utility giving me a world of options!
Hope to see finderpopX real soon!
