Boinx Mouseposé 1.0 released

Boinx Software today unveiled Boinx Mouseposé 1.0, which is a nifty little program that calls attention to the mouse on your computer screen with a push of a button. From the Boinx website:

”Hitting a user definable hot key turns on the Mouseposé effect, dimming the screen and putting the mouse pointer into a spotlight that makes it easy to locate. The desktop behind it remains functional, so that applications can be used while Mouseposé is turned on.”

This free utility does require that you sign up to get a license (which is also free) for the program to work for longer than 2 minutes, a small price to pay for this useful product. I have been in way too many training sessions where I have lost the location of the mouse in the glare coming from the projection screen; Mouseposé makes that a thing of the past.

I do have one small gripe with the program though. I went ahead an installed it on my Powerbook, and I tried to enter the serial number that I was given but I couldn’t copy and paste it in, so I was forced to type the code in; not a deal breaker but a small annoyance that I would rather not have had to deal with.
