Last time I checked (recently, in the last month or so), the site http://www.xymantix.com/sysmetrix/ listed in my v3.40 of the program, yielded this when the Update button was clicked:
HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
Content-Length: 0
Location: http://www.xymantix.com/sysmetrix/changelog.txt?ABCDEFGH
I believe I saw a statement that the program is going to be unsupported from now on. I'll miss it if it falls by the wayside, but I'm transitioning via a lot of Widgets for Desktop X and Gadsgets form the Gadgets site that do the job just as well. I will miss the easy tweakability of Sysmetrix, tho, where I can D/L a theme and swap parts between different themes (for my own use only!)

I wish Xymantix all the best, and a hearty thanks for the years with the program.

I'm fairly certain it was Neil Decker/xymantix who announced the cessation of support, on his site, the last time the link was valid. I will miss the program if it fades away like others have. Meanwhile, I hope to be able to continue to use sysmetrix for a while to come, as I have become quite fond of it and its many faces and features.

As far as "bloat", I, too, have had to fend off my share of mischief, more and more [Grrr!] I'm reminded of that scene in Matrix, the movie, when the good guys are all in the ship, hiding from the squid-critters 'til they lose interest and leave.

Every time my kids say "google", my hackles raise...what my folks had to go thru in the '60s has come back! LOL!

Thanks for checkin' around y'all ... it is kinda' sad to have to say au revoir to a fine system. Still, I wonder if anyone might have saved the installer for the program. I have Sysmetrix3 (alas, the old version). If anyone did save it - would you mind sharing the file?
Thx
