MacFIBS awards and user praise

    MacFIBS has received a number of rave reviews over the years.

MacFIBS 2.1 was featured in a special booklet published by MacUser magazine entitled 50 All-Time Best Shareware Programs (the booklet was an insert in the September '96 newsstand issue of MacUser). It shares the stage with such classics as StuffIt Lite, Maelstrom, and DarkSide.

MacFIBS, like the other programs listed, received a coveted "5 mice" rating from the editors of MacUser. Describing MacFIBS, they wrote,

"Most users see FIBS as a UNIX-based, text-oriented system. MacFIBS changes that, offering a full Mac interface in color - a wonderful graphic front end to an ugly system."

Tucows gave MacFIBS a 5 cow rating, noting:

"MacFIBS is backgammon against others on the Internet. This is a graphical interface to the First Internet Backgammon Server. Of course, you can Telnet in, but MacFIBS makes it a totally different and much improved experience."

Some of my favorite user comments:

    Your program RULES!! Yeah, yeah!! It rules.. RULES!! I just got 2.0.3. yesterday and feel the need to abandon all my work and play BackGammon 24-7...

    Thanx...

    I think MacFIBS is fantastic and you deserve some sort of award for creating it!"

    I hope you've heard it before, but "Thanks for MacFibs." It is a great contribution to the 'net, and makes playing on FIBS a real joy. Excellent interface, very good documentation. Keep up the good work.

    Thank-you for MacFIBS.

    There is a problem though... it is a very DANGEROUS program.

    I may never get another hour of work done again! If I put it on my computer at work, I may never sleep again! A program too good for words, but I here goes...

    Excellent !, Excellent !, Excellent !

    There you are, three words.
