Free App Does the Trick
Authored by: Boris Darling on Feb 20, '02 11:39:32AM

As Yoda would say, "Silly rabbits! Know you not about 'Wake 550'? Hmm?"

"Good is the way of waking by mac addresses. And good is the way the force makes the app remember frequently used mac address."

Yoda and I only wish that the app supported linking a name to each mac address. You know, so you can pick "PowerBook" or "G3 Workstation" off your Wake 550 list. Maybe in a future release...

Free App Does the Trick

It does work, but I wish it would allow me to set a name for each address so I could easily pick a particular computer from a list. Anything like this out there?

Talkin' to the Author

Instead of just wishing, I sent the author, "550 Software", who I suppose is a student at the University of Minnesota. Here's his website:

I asked if he could please add this feature.

press. They have proved ungrateful.

I just got an email back from the author, and he says he's going to add my feature request, and he may release the new version as early as tonight!

Coolio.
