I held my nose and paid my $25 only to be told "if you didn't subscribe to my email update list, I can't add you after the fact. It's the way my software notification system works." So I essentially had to bug him every time an update came out. After the third update when he told me he could add me to his update email list, I asked for a refund. Got it in a day. A week later he pulled the "I'm taking my ball and going home." Maybe he'll stay home this time. -- DeeDee, don't press that button! DeeDee! NO! Dee...

Well, Brian did a very good job in supporting his software. I had several times the need to change a little thing and he did that immediately and even provided personal test versions with that changes before it became part of the official one. Thoth is one of these programs that survived all changes and progress, that apple made in the past. I use it since --- I do not remember the beginning.... Thank you for your great support, Brian. I will miss Thoth, if it will end service one day (this may be way ahead...)
