(It's only 17K, plus a sample Reminders text file and a manual.) It works for me, which has made me the envy of all my friends and relatives. By setting reminders 10 or so days ahead, I find I'm as on the ball as the best of the rest of my friends and relatives in remembering to buy cards and presents (and to actually send them)--and way ahead of the date-impaired. And it works for lots of other people around the world. Here's what a few users of Birthdays and Suchx have written to say: "Finally! a Reminder that runs in 55K and doesn't lock up my Mac. I love it!" "Thanks! Neat little program." "I ran across your Birthdays and Such reminder program out on the internet. I had been looking for something like that, and I really like it. This is the first time I have ever kept, used, and paid for a shareware program." "Love your program! Lifesaver (or wifesaver, at the very least)." "I forget how I came across your reminder application, but in just a few weeks I have grown to really appreciate your work. As a father, grandfather, and caregiver to my father there are too many special dates to be remembered and acknowledged. Clean & simple, thanks." Enjoy!

Author's email address: jbkezer@kagi.com If you have two or more Macintoshes, you probably notice that the clocks drift apart as time goes by. This can range from being a minor nuisance to a problem, especially if you do a lot of synchronizing between the Macintoshes. ClockSync II synchronizes the clocks between two or more Macintoshes, by setting the clocks of the "Servant"Macintoshes to that of a "Master" Macintosh. ClockSync has two components. The ClockSync Master runs continuously on the "Master" Macintosh, while the ClockSync Servant can be run on any other Macintosh on the network to update its time. All of my utilities can be registered through the Kagi shareware system. Version 1.0.2 has the following enhancements: - A 50-user license is now available. - A bug that could potentially corrupt the Servant preferences was fixed. - The grayscale appearance was enhanced. Shareware; $5 for a 3-user license with larger licenses available.

It can display a calendar from Jan, 1 A.D. to December 2,147,483,647 A.D. (Though calendars for that far in the future are probably inaccurate due to problems with the Gregorian calendar and dates that far in advance are probably irrelevant.) The program uses Julian dates for days before September 14, 1752. It uses Gregorian dates for days after September 2, 1752. This was the time when Greatm Britain and its colonies switched to the Gregorian calendar. To make up form accumlated inaccuracies, days were skipped, hence the weird dates in the first sentence. EZ-Cal is not a date-book, nor a personal reminder system, nor a calorie counter. I wrote it to fulfill a simple purpose, and I hope it does it well. EZ-Cal is a fat binary, which means that it runs natively on the older (680x0) Macs and PowerPC Macintoshes. It requires system version 7.0 or greater.

This extension is not original with me; I simply dug it up somewhere, long ago, and am posting it because I haven't seen it anywhere online recently. >From the User Documentation When Norton Utilities v2.0 was released, it was a safe bet that any Macintosh clock having a date all the way into the year 1995 was set incorrectly. Norton Utilities has proved to be written well enough that it has not been obsoleted by new system software releases or new hardware. As a result, it has recently been warning people that their Macintosh clocks may be wrong. This can be unnerving when the very reason you are running Norton Utilities is because your computing world is coming down all around you. NU Fixer is an extension that simply changes the date that Norton Utilities uses for checking your Macintosh clock. When the extension is active, Norton Utilities will use January 1, 1999 for this sanity check. Your Norton Utilities application is otherwise unaffected and the copy on your disk is not changed at all.

They are from a very old piece of film and the quality isn't what we expect today, but as a memento of the race and the men who endured it, the (minimum) download time is worth it. The grabs are greyscale due to the original being black and white.160 x 120, 72 dpi jpegs. I've thrown in a small viewer, Dave Howells Quickshow, to provide an instant slide show. The images are in self extracting format. There are no details with the files, I grabbed the images from live TV and not a vcr in sight, no secomd chances.They were used as a backdrop to Kraftwerks "Tour De France" track. In fact if any of you can put names to the faces I would be delighted. I spotted Fausto Coppi and Jacques Anquetil and possibly Bahamontes among the close ups. It is possible that more than one Tour is used for source material. I don't think Anquetil rode in the days when the 'couriers' had spare tyres wrapped around their torsos. The images are free and may be used on BBS and cd archives etc. email is always welcome especially with details of where I can get a copy of the original film. Do what thou wilt.

You can color-code your windows to see at a glance what they contain, or use wild patterns just for fun. Wouldn't it be great if your folder of "work stuff" had a background that looked like a legal pad? How about some hearts for those folders full of love letters? With Window Monkey installed, patterns aren't just for desktops anymore! If that weren't enough, this program is useful, too. You can use the handy Window Monkey menu to quickly go to any window in any application, even if it's buried beneath many other windows. Window Monkey also remembers recently used folders and lets you instantly jump to any open or recently used folder from an Open or Save dialog box. 25 background patterns are included, and you can add as many as you wish by simply pasting pictures into the control panel. Window Monkey makes a great companion to other desktop enhancements such as Kaleidoscope. Try it now to transform the appearance of your Macintosh! Version 1.1.2 fixes conflicts with PopupFolder and Adobe Type Reunion, as well as making other small improvements noted in the "About Window Monkey" documentation [Archived as /info-mac/cfg/window-monkey-112.hqx; 532K] ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 26 Jun 1997 18:46:04 -0700 From: MorganBolt@aol.com Subject: [*] You Bet Your Mac - The AD Module for Computer Geeks If you own After Dark 3.0 or better, you need You Bet Your Mac!
