Two lava lamps to amuse your eyes while you and your Mac are idle. Transport your Mac back in time, to a place where there's bean-bag chairs, 8-track tapes, florescent posters, op-art wallpaper, and incense fuming in a brass holder next to the copy of "The Last Whole Earth Catalogue" while Neil Diamond sings "Lordy" from the album on the turntable. For those of you who are too young to remember those days, allow me to enlighten you... Several years ago, your ancestors (those old people you see all the time) used the lava lamp as a soothing centerpiece and powerful aphrodasiac. Combined with intoxicating beverages and the right kind of music, the lava lamp was a powerful tool in the hands of the right person. It can work for YOU too! Try it! But you'll have to get your OWN lava lamp. In the meantime, here's a nifty screensaver that you can practice with. It features, not one, but TWO lava lamps! Lava lamps in STEREO! Double the pleasure, double the fun. I can hardly contain my excitement. (NOTE TO AOL USERS: I was being sarcastic when I said "I could hardly contain my excitement", it's not really THAT exciting to watch a lava lamp) This module is made possible by "The Chicken Man of Ackron Ohio", who creates editable modules for AfterDark ScreenSaver.

See Read Me for details. The original code for Address Book was written by Jim Leitch, deceased. Smith Productions have modified that code to create Address Book 4. The only changes made were to support the current MacOS, 8.1 and to build the application using Metrowerks's CodeWarrior. No additional features were added. The primary changes made to this document has been to eliminate contact information for the original author. I will support user with previous version of Address Book when ever possible, however as I do not have the source code for version prior to 3.7.2.. If you have an older version of Address Book it is recommended that you upgrade to Address Book 4. Address Book 4 is an easy-to-use, fast and powerful way to manage and control lists of names, addresses, and phone numbers. The Application works on Macs from the Plus to the latest PowerMacs. * preset fields for easy set-up and data entering * memory-resident list for fast finding and sorting * multiple sort capabilities * import utilities allow importing from other databases, word processing programs, and Personal Information Managers * exports to mail merge, databases, word processors, and spreadsheets, and palmtop computers, including Newton, Psion 3a, Sharp Wizard, and HP95LX * prints envelopes, labels, business cards, postcards, Rolodex, standard and custom address books, and lists, in color if your printer supports it * prints postal bar codes * phone dialing through modems, the Mac speaker, Hyperdialer=81, and Desktop Dialer=81 * log file for logging calls, taking notes * call timer * macros * on-line help * multiple language capability * password protection * regular updates will be available on the Internet from regular download sites.

This module will even run on the early 1-bit Macs and is highly recommended for old machines! Gonzo Utilities Tech Suggestions (G.U.T.S.) is a BAD tech-support quote randomizer. It generates random tech-support phrases. For example; "The reason why you can't get anything creative done on this beautiful machine is because somebody left a casaba behind the Root Junction Anticipator." or... "I usually charge an arm-and-a-leg for my advice, but I'll just charge the price of my vet bill as we speak." and... "If you attach the Klein Bottle Densitometer to the Excremeditator Device, your machine will have a bad hair day." A clever randomizing technique makes the phrases different each time. WARNING!! Don't take any of this ScreenSaver's advice seriously! It's an insane creation that should be kept in the corner of the room, muttering to itself, where it will do nobody any harm. If you laugh or make fun of its ranting, you'll just encourage it to be more insane, so don't waste your breath. That being said, you now know what you're getting into with this G.U.T.S. module.

As you'd expect from Catara, sLog is robust, 100% PowerPC native, fast, easy to use, and efficient. At $15, it's a lot cheaper than hiring someone to keep track of when and how long your computer was used.

Custom sounds and pictures can be chosen to appear with your message and messages can be grouped and edited with ease and set to reoccur regularly; you will never miss your favourite TV program again!
