Garrett wrote me an email this morning:
Back to haunt you again! But thought you’d get a kick in knowing that
your old Appbar is still kicking and works just fine on Windows Vista
here. Not a glitch, cough or even hiccup!You think Appbar will ever let you forget it?
It won’t let me forget it! It’s been with me from Windows 95, through
Windows 98, Windows 98 SE, Windows ME, Windows NT 4 Windows 2000,
Windows XP and now on Windows Vista.Ok, that’s it for now…. I’ll probably drop you a note again when the
next windows version comes out (Windows Whatever) and I try Appbar on it.
First of all, it amazes me that 12 years later, AppBar still works and people still use it! Thank you Microsoft and thank you Garrett! AppBar was my first foray into the world of open source and I believe I made $105 off of it in licensing. Since I probably spent 100 hours building it, that’s a cool $1/hr in pay.
