- You should have updated to OSCAR a long time ago
Not arguing, but why should I/we have moved to OSCAR? Does it do anything better, is it easier to use, is it more accurate?
BTW, I haven't gone beyond High Sierra because Catalina stopped running a whole bunch of my apps: Word, Excel, Power Point, Quicken, etc.

Sleepyhead had many bugs that the lone wolf developer would not address.
Since it has been taken over by the Oscar team, there are many heads
working on various problems that Mark chose to ignore.
You are welcome to use the older version as long as it serves your purpose.
Just be aware that Oscar is waiting for you to leave the dark side.

- SleepyHead has numerous bugs, that have been fixed in OSCAR
- SleepyHead is no longer maintained
- OSCAR is actively maintained
- Whenever you are running old abandoned software you are one update or service patch away from the it failing
- It's always better to update software on one's own terms, than to be forced to have to scramble when it's not working

Updating your OS and breaking existing apps, re-enforces exactly why apps should be updated *before* they break.
