Bare Bones Software, creators of the popular BBEdit text editing tool, has debuted its latest utility Super Get Info. The Mac OS X add-on allows users to perform the following functions through the "Show Info" command in Apple's next-gen OS: View and edit the Mac OS type and creator codes for a given file; View and edit the Unix owner, group, and permission settings for files and folders; Modify a file's creation and modification dates; and others. The commercial utility is priced at $20, and a 14-day trial is available for download.

Way Too Expensive
$20? Are you kidding me? How in the world can they justify that price for such a simple utility? Give me a break! They have no marketing or distribution costs, support is done via e-mail, and the utility could be written by any competent programmer in a weekend. This program should be priced between $5-$10 or simply given away as freeware.
