I note on the Arduino Device control form it only lists bluetooth com 1 to com 20 my blutooth com ports extend to above 50! so if I add any Arduino devices they will be allocated even higher com port numbers that this program will not be able to see them. Also there does not seem to be any option to disable the auto running of this at system startup. Nor option to disable an update check.

Oh and it installs without error on Vista SP2 so take the system requirements with a pinch of salt. From the build data in the executables they should not run under XP and should report that they are not valid win32 executables. But should be able to be uninstalled under XP if it does install but not run under XP SP3

The notes are stored as plain text files in the program files heirachy in a sub folder called notes in the programs installation sub folder called kybernet_settings so don't expect any fancy text formatting or multi-media support in notes.

In addition because it uses discrete folders and text files for notes it cannot cope with note name collisions AND a big oooops is that it lets us specify illegal file or folder name characters in the notes name field, for example "?" or "*" or "\" or "/" or ":" or "|" it silently accepts the illegal characters and then silently fails to create the required illegally named files or folders. Moderator make sure the developer/vendor sees this comment as it needs fixing. It's a really basic input validation check that always needs to be done on any input being used to create file and folders in windows or any operating system with file/folder naming restrictions.

It also let me navigate outside the folder the notes were supposed to be in by entering a note title of "..\..\a note name" as a note name! a trick that on websites allows code injection if the websites are not properly secured

Robert, it may be of some utility IF you are an Arduino developer, for sceduling controllable Arduino devices subject to the observed limitations on bluetooth com port addressing previously mentioned.

But other than that I don't see the other functions as mature enough to be safe and usable. If a developer doesn't have the experience and forsight to validate strings before creating file and folder names it does not fill me with confidence that the same developer can properly impliment AES-256 file encryption and decryption and secure password managment.

It doesn't apear to have broken my windows vista so feel free to try it if you want just be aware that this is at best a public beta test and at worst an untested alpha-build. Don't use it if you don't know how to fix things for yourself if things go wrong as it just might!

TK, thanks for your insightful comment/observations on today's software, you have obviously done your home work and since there no other comments (just now) I have one quick question ... Is this, in your opinion worth downloading or a waste of time?

Even being charitable, it is hard for me to see any real utility to this, after just watching the (slow) video into.

Time is money -- if it takes too much time to apprehend the use and advantages of such a programme, I am afraid I will bail out very quickly...

Anyway, if I ever change my mind, it'll only cost five bucks to get it any OTHER day....

I mean, really, what is it even DOING here?

Sorry if I am being overly-critical.

I am sure anyone who feels it is very useful will jump in and tell us all what is so good about it.
