I just wanted to thank you for the simple install of your Foam
screensaver, viz. “(drag saver here to install)”. Too often, I see
complicated installers that don’t tell me what they’re doing. Your idea
is excellent.
Credit where credit’s due: This technique (of including an alias to the
final install directory in the software download, with a name
like drag software here
) was pretty common for small
BeOS software packages. It’s only possible on operating environments
(like BeOS and MacOS X) where you really can drag software to install
it!
