The end of MBM5

[jabarnutcase]

What a shame....a program I've used and enjoyed for a long time has seen it's final days. (I still use it).

Alex Van Kaam has decided to stop developing his great program Motherboard Monitor after 7 1/2 years.

This news is a bit old now (July 6th), but I don't recall seeing a post here about it....maybe I missed it.
I only discovered it while looking around for updates to some of my programs...ok, so I was bored. :p

Anyway, the latest (and last) version is 5.3.7. Sorry to see it go. :(

Link and explanation below.

The above was a post of mine almost two months ago......and no replies.
Hey! Isn't there a Beatle Song called "No Reply"? (Hehe...of course there is).

Anyway, doesn't anybody care????? (He said while wiping his eyes and trying to hold back the tears) :(

This was a great program...In fact, I'm still using it on two Computers.
Come on now guys....I KNOW some of you have or do use it too.

Can we have a little sympathy here??? :confused:


Don't mind me folks....was a little bored and lost my mind for a second (again).

All kidding aside though, what's a good replacement when the time comes?
I love this program.

OK.....carry on, no need to reply.

I'll bring it up again two Months from now. :D

Poor jabar, such a tragedy that no-one acres! :p

Nice prog, almost wish it had a linux version.

Boy, this is ironic! After years of accolades, I finally decided to try out MBM just recently. And now that I'm hooked, the programmer is taking a hike!? :eek: What kind of free-ware tech support is this?

Well, it's a bummer, to be sure, but now that mobos are coming standard with some type of temp sensor technology, I think MBM will live long and prosper. At least for a few years. :p

*sigh* I suppose now I'll have to take up the practice of putting in my own bay-mounted temp sensor in all my systems. It's strange in a way to see a landmark app like MBM bite the dust, tho, and I can't help but feel a little more lost in the complex and unforgiving world of computers...

There! See?
I knew there was someone out there that cared! :)

Thanks saphalline...at least I have someone to cry with now. :p

It really is a great program. I also think you're correct when you say it will be around for a while.
I know one thing. I have a copy or two of the last release, and as long as I have a Motherboard around that the Program supports (which is a whole lot of them), I'll continue to use it.

Still, a bummer for sure. :(

I know there are people around here that use it....(Whyzman comes to mind).
Either they just never saw my post, or were so distraught they were incapable of typing. :rolleyes:

or were so distraught they were incapable of typing.
This is probably what happened. I myself couldn't do it, had to have someone else type for me. My involuntary spasms of depression were really that bad!

But, I'm getting better now. I'm seeing a nice therapist who's helping me to move on, to be brave enough to live in a world without MBM. Do you want my therapist's number? :p

[jabarnutcase]

:D

...Do you want my therapist's number? :p

I really appreciate the offer saphalline!
However, I'm feeling a little better now....

If you would just pass along the Prescription Number the Therapist gave you, that should suffice. :p

Don't worry guys. MBM isn't leaving the planet. It will be around for as long as Jabar has it on CD... ;)

Then some other young guy, with a project due for school, will come up with a new mobo monitoring program and it will be just the old guys who will remember when MBM was THE program.
