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: 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.

This package includes HyperTADS 1.1.3, which is an HTML TADS interpreter for the Macintosh based on HTML TADS 2.5.1. It should be everything you need to play the game. If HyperTADS doesn't suit you, there are other TADS interpreters for the Macintosh. Check the TADS Page at http://www.tela.bc.ca/tela/tads/ for advice on how to obtain and install the right interpreter for your system. If you are not using HTML TADS or HyperTADS, you should set your display to use a fixed-width font if you can. Otherwise, formatting will look odd in a few places. If Interactive Fiction is a new thing to you, or you just want to refresh your memory, you can get some general playing instructions within the game by typing INSTRUCTIONS. Specific information on Worlds Apart is available by typing ABOUT, and hints are available via the HINT command. This work is copyrighted freeware. The game package may be distributed on all public archives. Again, the Worlds Apart homepage is located at http://www.igs.net/~tril/worlds/. Check there for information on new releases and system-specific versions of the game.

Specifically, it takes a good few seconds for the "Checking Mail" window to appear after the application is launched, and any time I switch into Eudora from another application there's a several second delay before the cursor becomes active or a mailbox window draws. My 8.6 set-up is almost exactly the same as my OS9 one, but I don't get the same effect with the former. Any ideas?
