This announcement is from: Steve Becker, (steve@macease.com) Release Date: November 19, 2001 I'm pleased to announce the release of Balloon Helper 1.0. Balloon Helper is an extremely easy-to-use Mac-only utility that provides fast, customizable access to Balloon Help. With the growing tendency of software companies not to include a printed manual with their programs, Balloon Help can be a very attractive alternative to first having to find, then having to open, and -- finally -- having to search through an online manual when users want to quickly find out some info about an application that they are using. Also, by its very nature, Balloon Help is context sensitive. The downside to using Balloon Help has always been that once users have gotten the information they need, they have obtrusive "balloons" popping up all over the place. Of course, users can always go to the Help menu to turn Balloon Help either on or off, but this quickly becomes both tedious and relatively time consuming....
