<description><![CDATA[At the moment of launching it here @ GAOTD this application costed 29.95$

Now - two days later - on their site is mentioned that it costs 19.95$
Apparently they realize that it wasn't worth 30$
The question is if it is worth 20$ *g*]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I'll go along with #68, Alan- Flow might be useful, but since the free Qliner hotkeys 2.0 appears to be really, really close in concept and perhaps slightly ahead, since it appears in the screenshots to use the program's icons- errr.. nice try? XP SP3.

however, it's got problems. the above-mentioned 'update' which as a GAOTD user, usually is the kiss of death, if blocked crashes the program (and mine still says 'lite', too) can't be avoided by making sure the 'check for updates at program startup' box is unchecked (I looked) makes me a tad unsettled about future 'invisible' actions. 

Not finding a program history on the site (and finding same to be real close to a placeholder and a couple youtube videos- one of which calls it a "prototype") adds to the unease and says goodbye. 

Amazing how we've gone from memorizing (or printing) keyboard commands for EDLIN and WORDSTAR and buying (or printing) templates to allow us to use Wordperfect for DOS to buying in essence an onscreen template to keyboard shortcuts. 

Without having the shortcuts in place until we bring up the virtual keyboard. Geeze.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Installed it on another P4 running XP sp3 the only difference between
it and the one with the error is that it has 3gb memory as opposed to 1gb memory on the system that showed an error. I have a mystery om my
hands.

<description><![CDATA[Well... I can do almost the same thing by pinning an icon to the start menu... then I need to remember only the Win key. This is a bit nicer that I can also continue the Alt-Q shortcut by pressing a key instead of moving the mouse. But I don't think there's that much difference because I mostly start things with the mouse or the command line. When I'm using only the keyboard, I'd be typing furiously and I won't need to launch anything much anyway (except maybe the calculator or a plain text editor - both which become only two keyboard shortcuts to remember).

However, I see that once I get use to this, it will be a main alternative to the start menu. Still, it won't save me too many mouse movement except when I'm working furiously... maybe then, it will be useful. Anyway, it's a good program. I wish sometimes that the modern keyboard will just have a trackball (or like that touchpoint on ThinkPads) so you won't need to use the mouse for navigation...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Installed easily, works well except it seems to have a problem when I
click the Google key. My default browser is Firefox and an error pops
up but Firefox opens to Google. I wonder if the program is expecting
IE to be the default browser? I'll set a key to Iron and see what happens.

<description><![CDATA[This is another example of a great eye candy. Everything looks fantastic. the web site , the GUI look awesome. 
The only thing is, IMO, this program just adds an extra step or steps to usual tasks that are already native to the windows shell.
do everyting flow does and more by doing this:

1. create a shortcut. (right click the desktop, select New, then shortcut)
2. name it what you like.
3. save it in a folder.
4. now open that folder, and right click that shortcut, select properties.
change any properties including:
-the Short Cut Key 
-the window, start it maximized, minimized, ect.
-add a comment that shows when you mouse over it.
-run in protected memory space.
-run as, admin, another user ect.
-the default program to run it with, if it is not a program shortcut.
-add paramaters to the laucher command line.
-and more.

5.repeat 1-4 for all your desired luunches. programs, urls, whatever.
6.take that folder and add it as a tool bar on the taskbar.
(right click the  taskbar, select toolbars, new toolbar, and choose your folder.  
All your shortcuts and hot keys are now right there ready to go.

IMO Flow requires you to load it with alt+q every time you want to launch shortcuts. Why would you want to do that, when i have just shown you how to do the same thing in windows, with no restrictions. ie. any icon you like. ect.

Many people may have a need or use for flow, however, to me it really just makes more work to do what you can already do without it. 

great programs are extentions and realizations of clever ideas conceived from a need or a desire to accomplish a specific task. All the while keeping things simple and current.  
The cost of developing an idea into reality and bring it to market is huge, why not start with better ideas, and more creativity to do something innovative and new, or expand on an existing great idea.

Putting a cool looking web site and gui together is worthy of a program of the same impressiveness. re-hashing the same old stuff that people have already done is a futile endevour. IMO, of course.
Example.  The A Team - Movie  ?  seriously?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hello all,

  This is of no use to me.  Running XP Pro here and the app generates
"There was an unexpected error in Flow. This may be due to a programming bug."  Whenever I try to run it.  Just checking it out for kicks anyway.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Installed and seem to run fine on Windows XP SP#3 looks like it should be a keeper. I would say that the price of $29.95 is a bit steep considering some of the free alternatives that were mentioned.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Seems a very good programme. Just what I was looking for, especially with the opportunity to create unlimited "layouts". One thing, though, all these people going on about "Launchy" is rather tiresome. I have well over 300 applications, most of which are grouped according to various categories, difficult to remember otherwise. Guessing a name of a little used application, and typing, is much more laborious than consulting a well organised shortcut system. Not all of us are expert typists. Different people have different needs. "Launchy" is a top freeware programme, but it is useful to compare like with like. Today's giveaway represents a different approach to pc resource access than "Launchy". The "Clavier" programme looks interesting, though. Thanks to G.O.T.D. and VitesseDigital.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I pin frequently used apps to the start menu, takes two mouse clicks to load them! 

There were some great quick menu load programs about for Win 3.1, which listed the applications/ games in categories, again accesed by mouse, but sadly haven't seen anything like these for WinXP. Guess I'd have to write one in Visual Basic unless anyone knows of any!]]></description>
