It's the long-standing tradition here at Ooze to seek the most pointless shareware in the world, and share it with you. This month we've scouted two "novelty" applications for the macintosh meant to promote their respective author's websites. We wonder about the "clientele" they attract.
A retarded monkey would have a hard time staying awake playing this game. This program simply emulates a stapler. Click on it, and the stapler depresses making a familiar "clicking" sound. You earn one point. When you get ten points, a matronly voice shouts, "Splendid!" Nothing else ever happens, even if you score over two thousand points. That's when my monkey fell asleep on the keyboard.
