This is a great newsletter that actually helps you use your Mac better. If you are looking for ways to use your Mac more effectively, you need to download this one. If you are tired of wading through all the reviews of software that you will probably never use, the MacAssistant Tips and Tutorial Newsletter will not disappoint you. Each issue is packed with useful information that the majority of people can actually use. This month the tutorials are: * Using Fetch 3.03 * Using Internet Address Detectors * Monthly OneClick tutorial The MacAssistant Tips and Tutorial Newsletter only has tips and tutorials. I do not do reviews in this newsletter. While reviews are useful, I feel that a newsletter that actually tells you how to use your Mac more effectively is much more useful to the novice and intermediate users. Each issue includes many tips about using your Mac. The tutorials are accompanied by graphics that help to understand the article. Subscriptions are only $12.00 per year and also allows you access the the MacTalk mailing list. This is a great place to get yor questions answered very quickly. By the way, this is a full issue so everyone can see what it is like.

Amadeus is an easy-on-the-eye Kaleidoscope scheme designed for long periods of use. In its year of existence, it has been described by reviewers as being superior to other implementations of the Apple Mac OS8 platinum appearance. Amadeus 1.5.7 is a major upgrade that increases Mac OS8 support under Kaleidoscope 1.8, with popup windows, bevel buttons, and OS8 folders. As the version number indicates, this is still compatible with earlier revisions of Kaleidoscope, all the way back to Kaleidoscope 1.5. Support for Amadeus can be found on the web at the Kaleidoscope Way: Amadeus will not be seen on the official Kaleidoscope Scheme Archive. Permission is granted to include Amadeus on the info-mac CD-ROMs. L. 'after using Amadeus for even a day you can't go back to the standard look' -- Jeffrey Zeldman, Macintosh OS8 Blues.

It allows you to put clickable buttons in places (e.g. your About box) that will look like a URL in a web browser...click on the URL and go right to there! Great for listing the web page for your software, the email address for contact/support, the ftp site where users can get updates or whatever you want! You list the text, they can see it, copy it down, whatever... and then just click and visit it. VERY HANDY!! VERY COOL!! The class is even set up that the text of the button can say one thing but then still visit the URL. For example, the About Box displays your name and you click on it and it visits your personal web page or something. Point is, the button can list the URL text or not...it's a flexible class. There is a demonstration application included in the archive to help you see how it works as well as help and tips for implimentation. Furthermore there is a CTYP file that you can use to aid in the editing process (for use with Metrowerks Constructor). For complete information, please read the README file enclosed in the archive.

Among tools included is an AppleScript and an application: - Desktop Picture Changer: Changes the desktop picture from pictures in a folder. It can choose them randomly or sequentially. It can change the desktop at specified intervals or just when you run the applet. - Desktop Picture Aligner: A great little tool that lets you set default alignment settings for any picture to be displayed on the desktop. For example, you can specify a picture to be displayed scaled and aligned to the bottom right corner of the screen. Changes since 1.0: The only thing that's changed is Desktop Picture Aligner, which has had several interface improvements and now lets you align pictures to the corners of the desktopmac (before you could only align to the sides). It also lets you change the creator type of processed files. Try it out. At the very least, you'll find Desktop Picture Aligner useful (it doesn't need the rest of the tools). Requires Mac OS 8.

Created after Neurodule, a highly acclaimed simulation of the neuron, NRJ-dule is more multimedia and better integrated. NRJ-dule is essentially interactive, so there is little text. However what text there is, is in French. (we speak french over here in Geneva...) Teachers here found it allows a much better in-depth learning.

Features: --You can use Nu Serif at any point size--without getting the jaggies. --The registered version will include bold, italic and bold italic--great for web browsing. --Nu Serif, with it's high x-height, is a very readable font, on-screen and on the printed page --It's a great companion font for Nu Sans. About the Nu Serif font family: Nu Sans is based on Apple Computer's "Espy Serif" bitmap font. Espy Sans is a font designed by Apple's Human Interface people for easy readability on computer screens. This bitmap font is used in the Apple Guide screens. It is a serif companion for Espy Sans. Now you can use Espy Serif on your printer as well. I have offered a TrueType and PostScript version of Espy Sans for several years now. Every once in a while I'd get an e-mail asking if I planned to do a font based on Espy Serif. So I've been working on Nu Serif off and on for about a year. I've finally finished the regular and bold, so I've decided to release this font so that people can start using it right away.

Sound simple enough? Well, here's the trick: you may only have three squares at a time. Once you click on a fourth square, the first one you selected becomes empty again, allowing your opponent to make a surprise move. You may play against another person or a computer player (with two levels of difficulty). Version 1.1 includes a "fade" option to show you which of your squares will be the next to disappear.
