Can be used as an artistic-mystic background while you chill out. YOU NEED: Apple's Quicktime (2.5) and Sound Manager, System 7.+ DETAILS: AEAEA-11 was realized on a Mac 8500 PPC (system 7.5.5, QT 2.5) using Opcode System's MAX 3.0. program. Virus checked.Compressed with Stuffit Lite. AVAILABILITY: AEAEA-11 is free to individuals for their private enjoyment. Distribution by CD Rom and other means: OK, please notify by e-mail. **************** ***************** *********** QuickStart: Double-click on the Aeaea.11.app in the Program Folder. Hit the SPACE BAR to start and stop. The music plays on the Mac's internal speakers. If possible, hook your computer's audio output into your HiFi system. Do not remove the AEAEA-11.app from its folder; it is an APPLICATION, so close by opening the Apple control bar File menu and selecting "QUIT". Notes: According to Homer's epic, The Odyessy, when Odysseus (Ulyssus) and his men reached the mysterious island of Aeaea, they were enchanted by the sorceress Circe. Malta, a small 15-by-17 mile island off the coast of Sicily in the Med. seems to be the likely place for this encounter. Homer's description of the landing in a fair bay (St. Paul's bay) and the promentory from which a temple in the middle of the island was seen all seem to reinforce this idea. Also important is the discovery of Minoan- era temple ruins with bull figures and oracle whispering holes. Malta has a long history of occupation by many cultures: Romans, Arabs, The Knights of St. John, Napoleon, the English etc. Although totally Catholic in religion, they speak an Arabic-based language which is written using the Roman alphabet. Malta became an independent nation shortly after WW II and the entire island was given the George Cross for its valiant role during that struggle (hence the initials after the name: Malta, G.C.) I spent 6 weeks n Malta during the summer of 1972 (mainly in the small fishing village of Marsasloxx) and took many slides and pictures of the curious landscapes, churches and bells. All the time I was there - and ever as I remember or dream of it - Malta was a rich, exciting enchanted island full of wonderful loving people to whom a smile, a joke and a drink with one's companions were the best things in life. However, their way of life and sense of time was very different. Most people seemed to get up very early and go to bed shortly after sunset. Malta, a very densely populated island, seemed totally deserted by late afternoon just when the sun was so right for taking pictures, and so many of my color slides were landscapes without people in them.

A. Keep your (server) applications running Keep It Up (KIU) can relaunch selected applications if for some reason they stop running (crashes, accidental quits,...) KIU can also restart your Mac on a regular basis. This reduces the chance of anything going wrong in the first place. KIU can also be told the keep one (server) application always in front, which improves the performance of this application. B. Remote Management KIU can be used to remotely manage your Macintosh (server) using any webbrowser. KIU has a tiny "embedded" webserver (running on a port of your choice) that allows you to remotely: * restart/shutdown the Mac * view, kill or restart running applications * launch applications * run Applescripts * view logfiles generated by KIU or other applications * get some info about the system (free disk space, uptime, ...) The web interface approach has several advantages over remote management solutions such as "Timbuktu Pro": you can manage the Mac from *any* computer that has a webbrowser installed (Mac, PC, PDA, ...), it's small and fast, doesn't slow down your Mac and is unlikely to cause conflicts with other software. KIU is $22 shareware. Version 2.1 adds the possibility to remotely view logfiles.

First, there is a window where household spending details are entered for annual, quarterly, monthly, fortnightly, and weekly expenses. Next, the amount of savings available to put toward a mortgage is calculated. Then, a window where all the upfront costs involved in purchasing a home are entered--this enables the user to know how much money is needed in order to purchase a home. Finally, you can enter mortgage details (principal, interest rate, repayments, account fees, and so on) and compare different mortgage options to find the most competitive one on the market. You also can create different scenarios involving specific changes over time to the mortgage rates according to salary and interest rate fluctuations.
