By contrast The Mac Observer reports:
“[UPDATE: January 6. Jayson contacted me and wrote: “The people reporting that we were purchased by Google have lost their minds a little. I understand why someone might connect the dots that way, but neither http://www.circusponies.com nor http://www.circusponies.xyz says anything about Alphabet owning us. I mostly just thought it would be funny for Circus Ponies to be the “C” in Alphabet. I am flattered that people would think that Circus Ponies was on par with Google and all the other multibillion sub-corporations Alphabet owns.”]”
This gets odder by the moment!

Sort of a “Paul is dead” moment.

With jaw-dropping gall, the owner of Circus Ponies sent an email today to purchasers of the product (I am one) to announce “If you’re using NoteBook 3 and want to keep running NoteBook for as long as you can, you’ll need a copy of NoteBook 4. That’s because NoteBook 4 is the only version of NoteBook that runs on OS X El Capitan.”
So, we’re invited to send him $20 via Paypal for a license and download for NoteBook 4. $20 for software that he flat out refuses to support.
Amazing.

I would save my $20 and invest $4.99 in Growly Notes.

While it is true that one should never invest in what a software may (or may not) become in the future but take it for what it does at the moment, the reverse is probably also true. One should not regard a software for what it once has been in the past.
Obviously the developer has lost the plot somehow just as I have lost my confidence in him. The reasons are unknown but nothing good is going to come out of it, there is nothing to see there.
Time to move on.
