I bought it, so I guess I thought it was a good deal. The Kaboom 
is a special version, not the full set of sounds, with an offer to 
get the full package. I haven't installed DynoPage Lite yet so no 
comment.

I don't have Quickeys and haven't noticed any real problems. When 
there is a reminder it uses a "floating icon" which stays on top of 
everything else. In some applications part of it might "float away" 
as you scroll a document window. Just a little messy, not a real 
problem. If I had a screen larger than the 9 inch on my SE I'd 
probably never notice it. There doesn't seem to be a way of entering 
items not associated with a date, but that is probably a good thing, 
and you could stick them well off into the future if you don't want 
to deal with getting reminded all the time. I'd say it is a pretty 
well thought out utility product. I also just installed System 7 and 
it seems that Kaboom doesn't understand aliases which is not 
ordinarily an issue, except that I have System 6 on another disk 
and wanted to have only one copy of the data (sounds).
