Rochester, NY -- April 1, 2005 -- Today Ambrosia announced the release of a free product called ScreenCleaner Pro. Over time, your LCD or CRT monitor will gradually fade in brightness and contrast. This fading is inevitable, because the backlights for LCD screens eventually fade, and the photo-reactive substrate on CRT monitors eventually degrades.
ScreenCleaner Pro rectifies this situation by altering the gamma of your monitor to compensate for monitor degradation, so it will look as good as new. Don't toss out that old monitor, just run ScreenCleaner Pro on it, and watch your old monitor gain a new life.

whoa!
Worked wonders on my 12" powerbook (whose screen used to seem a lot dimmer) I especially like that cloth wiping action.

And now my new 30" Cinema Display has hundreds of dead pixels. Moki is a dead man if this thing voided my warranty!

The only April Fool's joke that caught me.  (And trust me, I've seen plenty today, and I'm part of a huge one that's still being played out in a forum I moderate.)

I'm not asking for tech support or for anyone to break their NDA, but is this compatible with the latest Tiger beta?

Actually, I've heard rumors (from a highly placed friend in the internet porn industry ) that ScreenCleaner will be bundled with Tiger. Seems Apple only actually has 149 new features in Tiger, and Steve promised 150. After the 3 gigahertz debacle, they can't afford to break another promise. Since Moki has been so good about not breaking his Tiger NDA, Steve decided to throw the licensing money his way. The laughter you hear coming from the halls of Ambrosia tonight is Moki laughing all the way to the bank.

A 1 MB app that does nothing. Um surely it could have been made slightly smaller since it does absoloutly nothing. This would make Bill Gates proud!

Bah. It takes to long to completely clean my screen. I think I need a DP 2.5 G5. This app is proof that my dual G4 has become obsolete.
Thanks Moki for giving me a reason to upgrade.
