and whats that good for? im must say i hate these annoying popups, while im doing something im not in mood to be interrupted with. most they carry with is advertising content, or whatever is not particularly essential...


I'm also not a fan, especially where they're abused (avast antivirus, adobe reader, system update notifications every time you logon...)

Thankfully Adobe doesn't support Amigalikes, we don't use antivirus etc.
Stripped of the abuse, and offered in a user configurable way (as you'd expect with Amiga software), I've actually come to like Magicbeacon (the MorphOS equivalent notification system by Geit), despite my initial misgivings about whether I wanted or had use for it.
Mac Mini G4 (1.5GHz, 64MB VRam, 1GB Ram): MorphOS 3.6
Powerbook 5.8 (15", 1.67GHz, 128MB VRam, 1GB Ram): MorphOS 3.8.

Windows-free since 2011-2014 (Damn you Netflix!)

With Ringhio you can disable notifications on a per-application basis, so if something is spamming you it's easy to stop it.


That's good to hear (although i'd personally like the option of whitelisting - ban all except as specified).
