Perhaps the biggest change since my first review is that Caffeine now works properly with Snow Leopard.

Since my original review, Caffeine has received a few notable updates, and it’s now available-and still free-both directly from the developer and on the Mac App Store.

Caffeine is useful when you’re watching a movie or online video, giving a presentation, or looking at a complex document: Instead of having to go to the Energy Saver pane of System Preferences to turn off all screen-dimming, screen-saver, and sleep options, you just click Caffeine’s systemwide menu-bar icon to activate a “sleepless” state when you want to revert your Mac to its normal state, you just click the icon again. Will review later.Back in the August 2007 print issue of Macworld, I reviewed Caffeine, a nifty utility for preventing your Mac from automatically dimming its screen (or starting a screen saver or going to sleep) if you aren’t using the cursor or keyboard. So, that barrier was defeated (easily) and now I'm going to be testing it and comparing experiences. It worked! I named my emply folder > Amphetamine Keep Alive My Drive, which i was able to choose in Amphetamine preferences > Drive Alive. Then, select the folder instead of the root of the drive. Try creating a new folder at the root of the drive for use with Drive Alive. UPDATE: Boy that was quick! They responded almost immediately and told me to do this: i filed a support request w/ amphetamine cuz i would like to try it and see if it's indeed better as so many reviews say. One of the positive/different things about keep drive spinning is it allows me to use admin pw to force KDS to choose the external drive. i guess it's the external drive, that's what i've analyzed it to so far). My system won't let me choose the external backup drive used for time machine to stay awake (because it causes my whole system/imac to stall/lag/freeze. Waiting to see if i can get an apparent permissions drawback overcome. Hot key support for starting/ending sessions.Auto-end session if your Mac's battery is low.Optional session time remaining display in the menu (with 12/24 hour support).Allow screen saver to run after a customizable period of inactivity.
