I also agree with wdympcf and Mikey-San. A program like this was sorely needed in OS9 and prior, but Mac OS X does not have memory fragmentation problems.

You're still missing my point though, where the OP asked the wrong question in the first place. Do you really understand the higher goal thread,

I think you are missing the point of my initial comment. The OP had an unanswered question as I have said before (see the thread) and I tried to answer it.

Because people have suggested that the application is not possible is where we are now.
This is neither my intention or my fault.

Higher goal? Knowledge is the higher goal. Is that not the goal?

It's not that the application is not possible - it's not necessary!

And several of us are evaluating that answer and saying that it's probably not the best choice. I'm not faulting you personally for your answer - you were trying to help the OP. There is a difference between trying to help and actually helping. I'm suggesting that this application will not actually help.

I just realized there was another point that you made earlier that I forgot to address:

Now, does it work? I have no idea but then again I am not a osx programer. I would leave it up to other people that may need this service to decide if it works. I have to trust that the developer knows what he is doing and offers legitimate software.

You don't HAVE to trust anything. That's an important point. You are giving the developer the benefit of the doubt without having used any critical thinking to assess whether this is warranted. We (Mikey-San, hayne, Las_Vegas and myself), however, are looking at this critically using our experience and knowledge (varied as it may be), and find it to be lacking substance.

hmm, sorry I over reacted. I like that last line though.

Don't take it personal its just the internet man. I am sorry you are feeling you are being attacked, but I think its all been taken out of context by everyone just a bit.

Wow! Umm... wow! I hope you come back and read this, because I think you've taken this way, way, way too personally. You were expressing your opinion and I was also expressing my opinion. I don't have any animosity towards you. I didn't intend to attack you and I don't think I said anything that should be taken as an attack. I also don't think that the others were attacking you, but I will let them defend themselves of that charge if they see fit.
