UnPlugged. Fast, Simple, Invisible

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. It contains icons for PPC and for Intel-Macs.
