AutoMenus 2.0 (most recent released version) is quite buggy. I never actually
_found_ the bugs, but it corrupted memory. The first 3.0 beta seems to be
problem-free, but SwitchIt did often turn it off. The "current" beta (not
released to testers yet) fixes this problem.
 
Jawaid,
  I don't subscribe to and haven't seen II Alive, but if you send some sort of
follow-up letter about the review, feel free to include something like what I
just said about the incompatibility with AutoMenus. I hate to see SwitchIt
knocked for incompability with my buggy program.
 
Btw, I tried investigating the problem with MenuTime and The Manager, but The
Manager doesn't tolerate GSBug toolbrk's, so I couldn't dig around easily and
didn't look for another way.
 
(Btw, since I couldn't find the 2.0 bugs, I rewrote.)
