I'm thinking that the first word of the company's name -- SmileOnMyMac -- should instead be renamed for another bodily process that even begins with the same first letter. It'd be a more apt description of their pricing strategy and the disrespect it shows to the Mac community.

It's convenient not downloading again if/when I (re)install it.

Are you still able to get hold of the old version? Where?

I am just wondering if someone can compare the commercial version to the previous donationware version.
