PowerOut V1.0 bugs... Hi, I just got the program powerout V1.0 that sits on your mac under multifinder and does power line checks.....It shows an x-y plot of power coming in as well as well as realtime display of amps and line volts....Pretty nice...now the problems: 1) Sometimes the Ampmeter and Voltmeter switch positions, not the titles, just the displays. 2) The std message (The power is still on) should be something like "Power is ok" 3) My power is ok at work, but I get tons of messages from the program like: I feel the power slipping The power might go out at any moment Power loss immenent, save immediately! Stuff like that...These come through the notification manager..The pgm should have an option to NOT send the messages, they can be annoying. Oh, i also get the message "Easy on the statis electricity" and I know that it is not being hit with static....so maybe some more work has to be done on messages and reasons for generating them... It looks like it could really be a good pgm..How about an option to save the graphs in some file and allow the pgm to read the file and print it out on a printer? 4) The three buttons supposidly changing graphs sizes do not seem to work.
