And even if you don't buy anything, Tom's got a good writeup on his blog about how he got started selling software over the internet. I've always enjoyed hearing stories like this-- whenever you make good software, the Mac community seems completely ready to support what you do. While users of other systems (no names) seem to grab at the free stuff, no matter how buggy or slow it is, Mac users always seem ready to pay a premium price for a premium product. Then again, maybe I'm putting the horse before the cart on that one.
At any rate, congrats Atomic Bird on five years of successfully selling that software, and here's to many more.

Macaroni is not a backup tool. It schedules and runs the UNIX maintenance tools in OS X.

Yes, Mike, please correct your writeup: Macaroni automates maintenance tasks (the ones done manually by utilities such as OnyX, Cocktail and AppleJack), such as Repair Permissions, daily, weekly and monthly scripts, and pretty much anything else you might want to do, as well as removing unwanted language resources. It was the second thing (after FruitMenu) I installed with 10.2 when I moved to Mac OS X back when, and I install it on every Mac I set up for clients.
