UnPlugged is an application to notify when the power cord of the Mac is unplugged or plugged in. Notifications are done using Growl, or with a Alertwindow, when Growl is not installed.
This App is done with Cocoa and doesn't use as much RAM and CPU usage as the other tools available.

I stopped using this, the functionality is in HardwareGrowler (included with Growl) as well.

so many uses for growl... Apple should include it in OS X :)

Invaluable. I have a powerbook with a wonky power socket, so I need to have Growl shout at me every time I should wobble the cord, otherwise I end up battery-bereft suddenly and without warning.

when selecting 'install for this user only' it tries to install the application in /Applications instead of ~/Applications

I use my eyes. They work much better! I could understand this if there was no light on the magsafe, but there is. And its certainly noticeable if its gone...
