OpenGL is so slow on the G3/233 with 512k backside cache and 192MB of RAM as to make large parts of the animation skip during gameplay. Each play skips. Also movement of the mouse pointer itself is slow and somewhat jumpy. It is not funny. The G3/233 only has an ATI LT Pro graphics card and 4 MB of VRAM, and is not upgradable easily. Virtual Memory was off during the experiment. They should increase the minimum system requirements on their box, or detect the processor during the installation and adapt the graphics to match the system that exists.... I don't get this kind of slowdown playing Starship Titanic. Sincerely, abrody@smart.net ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 22 Dec 1999 14:36:25 -0500 From: a brody Subject: (C) The Mac and y2k Dear Digest readers, While we are all happy about the Mac being y29k compliant, there is one control panel which some people may miss that we should let people know about. Whether or not this is important to the Finder's file management I have yet to determine, but if you click the following, you should be able to fix this minor inconvenience: 1. Apple menu 2. Click and let go of Control Panels 3. Double click Date & Time 4. Click on Date Formats 5. Click show century 6. Close window from File menu. Question: Why is the default show century setting off, if the Mac is y2k compliant? Sincerely, abrody@smart.net ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 17 Dec 1999 12:31:18 EST From: NCICCHECK@aol.com Subject: 1400/G3 Battery problems-update An update on the battery problem with my 1400cs with the NewerTech G3 chip instaled. I sent it back to NuPower for a free repair. It took 2 weeks and it doesn't seem to help. The screen dims about 3/4s power and it still shuts down at 1/2 power. the only thing is it seems more consistant. I guess I'll have to live with the lack of battery (1/2 hour +/-) I now get.

It creates catalogs of any type of disk (floppies, hard drives, CD-ROMs, Zips, Sy-Quests, AppleShare volumes, etc...). It features an intuitive Finder-like list view for browsing disk contents, and a powerful multi-criteria search engine modeled after Sherlock's Find File. Disk Recall uses a very fast archiving algorithm to scan disks 5 to 10 times faster than other Macintosh catalogers. Disk Recall aslo archives FTP servers and catalogues Info-mac abstracts as well. Disk Recall also lets you search for duplicate files; delete files or folders; scan inside Stuffit files; open, reveal and copy items in the Finder, and more. Registered users also get the Disk Recall Extension which automatically scans disks at eject time. Unlike with other (slower) catalogers, users barely notice the extra delay when ejecting disks. Disk Recall is distributed as shareware. Version 1.2.3 fixes minor bugs from version 1.2.1.

Version 5.0.2 - A new appointments default time is now one hour in the future. Printing a range of notes now defaults to printing all the days displayed in the calendar. Added small color icons in the label menus in the daily information window and recurring notes editing window. Now better indicates the use of label colors in recurring notes. Fixed a bug where recurring notes that aren't supposed to display, were displayed when they occur on the same day as another recurring note that does display. Fixed a bug when printing a day with more than one recurring note results in junk. Plugged a few minor memory leaks.

These, if these terms aren't familiar to you, are grids of random letters with words hidden in them in various directions (up, down, back, front). The purpose of Search Designer is to simplify the construction of these word searches to increase efficiency and time to work on ideas rather than coming up with random letters. It is extremely useful for school, as word searches with good clues to the words can have educational value, and Search Designer makes construction of these simple. Reading all of the Documentation is recommended before using this program. Search Designer is Shareware and costs a mere $15.00.

SimpleBackup is a very simple and easy to use file backup utility. I wrote it because I wanted a quick-and-easy way to back up all those files that are spread out over the hard disk, in the preferences folder, in the documents folder, certain folders and files in the applications folder, etc... I decided that I didn't want to write a user interface for the utility, so I got the idea of letting the Finder do the work for me by using aliases. The result is a backup program that is actually easy to use! You simply navigate through your hard disk and find the files or entire folders that you want to backup that are buried in the System Folder, Applications, Documents folders etc., and tell SimpleBackup about those files/folders by using aliases. Here is the step-by-step process: 1) Create a new folder on the Desktop and name it ÓBackup AliasesÔ. 2) Place a copy of SimpleBackup in this folder. 3) Navigate your hard disk and find those folders and files that you want to backup. For each folder or single file, create an alias and place it in the Backup Aliases folder. 4) Open the SimpleBackup application. The folders referenced by the aliases are scanned to determine how many files and how much space is required for the backup. 5) SimpleBackup will next ask for a destination folder. This folder should be on a different volume than the folder/files represented by the aliases. 6) There are four options that can be set: "Remember settings" remembers the destination folder name and location, "Don't ask next time", "Skip unchanged files"* and "Delete Destination Folder" 7) Click "Backup" and the backup process is started. If the folder already exists on the destination volume, you are asked if you want to use that folder for the backup. * A file is assumed to be the same if it is exactly the same length (both data & rsrc forks), same type/creator, same creation and modification date. Version 1.61 changes: * added $5 Register option for those who don't want to say "Thank You" or would like to encourage me to update SimpleBackup ;-) [Archived as /info-mac/disk/simple-backup-161.hqx; 93 K] ------------------------------ Date: 22 Dec 1999 From: Ivan Gobbo Subject: [*] Slide Show 5.2 - presentation tool for multimedia & MP3 files.

That stupid plinking sound especially. In time, I evolved my own sounds, culled from arcade games that I liked. Many of these games are long-defunct (remember CheeseToast? Glypha, HemiRoids? - hey, HemiRoids, written 1993, still runs on OS 8.6! And I stole its icon - well, it was freeware...). Put the sound set into your Sounds Sets folder, which is in the Appearance folder in your System folder. The use the Appearance Manager to choose the sound set. The sounds are mostly quiet, except for an swooshy pair that announce the arrival and departure of a disk, and a rather good 'pow' that launches applications. You can amuse yourself trying to identify them. If you have an especially sad life. This sound set is not copyright and I can accept no liability for any damage it might do to you, your computer or your pets.

Web Confidential is a password organizer with strong cryptography (448-bit encryption). Where do you keep your confidential data? Like most people these days, you've probably got a growing number of user IDs, passwords, registration keys, PINs, serial numbers, and the like, stored in various places on your Mac or scribbled on miscellaneous pieces of paper around your home or office. When you stop and think about it, you probably have more of these pesky bits of information scattered about than you realize. The proliferation of the Internet is exacerbating this situation. Increasing numbers of commercially-oriented sites, such as the NY Times, require some form of registration even simply to view content. Other transaction-oriented sites, such as Amazon.com, or personalized newsites, such as My Yahoo, require passwords for personal services. Now there is a software program to manage passwords and the like: it is called Web Confidential. It uses an intuitive, easy-to-use cardfile metaphor which will enable even novice users to get up to speed in no time. Power users will find a large number of options to enable them to configure Web Confidential to meet their specific needs. Web Confidential uses the Blowfish algorithm to protect your data. Your key can be up to 448 bits in length. Blowfish is fast and very secure.

Most programs add lots of characters to format or comment HTML code they generate. These unnecessary data, although being ignored by the browser applications, can easily add up. WebsiteDietician will analyze the code and carefully remove superfluous chars. The app features also some limited image converting/recompressing capabilities, including batch converting of image files from various formats to JPEG. "Despite the Internet's prospective bandwith and latency improvements", Dan Kueng, president of Blue Line Studios said, "we regard it as crucial to keep the size of web content always at a minimum. Saving one or two seconds of download time can be vital." Indeed so. Studies have shown that the average web surfer is ready to wait just five seconds for a web page to appear. WebsiteDietician will help web content creators to keep their web content as lean as technically possible. The live image preview showing the actual quality loss of the JPEGs before saving provides an innovative and convenient way to control the trade-off between quality settings and download times. Folders will be remembered as Favorites and batch processed with no more than 2 clicks. WebsiteDietician can be registered/unlocked for a fee of $35.00. System requirements are any PowerMac (including iMac/G3/G4), 8 MB of available RAM, and system 7 through 9. A 68K version is available only upon request for registered users.
