Any estimate for 8.2 in App Store?

[Mike Bauers]

Allow me to wrap up on this. There were Apple apps that were Trojans, they were caught by the Apple store and pulled from distribution, some others were stopped from even being distributed. Granted there are very few of them for Apple products, per the news there was an increase of 14,900 Android malwares in the last three months. We're glad we don't have that problem. Yes, I've used GC for ten years or more and I completely trust it. I'm thankful Apple only found a dozen or so in the same period. It's good that they delay release of submitted long enough to test them before distributing them. I wish they would take a smaller commission. Hopefully by a program going through their store, the program has much greater sales than if they were not in the Apple store. That direct exposure to potential Apple customers should result in an additional block of customers, perhaps a very large number of sales.

Last peep from me. I think I also used GC since my first Mac in 1996. I loved finding it since I spent a lot of years with Amiga's which had programs that were quite friendly to all established graphic and text formats. GC allows me to keep that compatibility with both old and current non-Mac formats. I treasure what GC does for me.

I have as well, tho I think I go a bit further back than 1996 (like v0.96 or something in 1994), and I echo the sentiments below.  Thorsten has been doing great for MANY years, and as I have said, I much prefer dealing with the developers than Apple.Mike Temkin.

This has never happened. The only apps infected with Trojans and that includes AppleWorks were apps distributed through file sharing networks. Nobody has ever downloaded an infected app from a legitimate developer's site. Marino Pascal
