Now this software will be coming to the Mac at: http://www.internetcallmanager.com/ It should be available sometime this fall. Hope this helps. Sincerely, abrody@smart.net -- Come visit my mini Yahoo at.

Users can learn and investigate the concepts of associative memory in a two-layer parallel distributed processing (PDP) architecture. A graphical user interface provides direct access to units, connections, and patterns. Basic concepts of network operations can be explored, with many low level parameters available for modification. A comprehensive user's manual includes cell biology, simulated neurons and networks, learning and memory. Source code (circa 1987) is included. Freeware.

With PixelToy you can generate an endless variety of beautiful, mesmerizing moving images. You can have PixelToy's display dance to live sound input, and generate QuickTime movies of spectacular visual effects with it. PixelToy may be fun, but it's not just a toy! Dance clubs and cafes around the world dazzle audiences with PixelToy's live visual effects. What's more, visual artists have added PixelToy to their arsenal of video effects generation software, using QuickTime movies from PixelToy in non-linear video editors such as iMovie and Adobe After Effects. Features new to version 2.2: o New Images action: create 1- and 8-bit image objects, each with fully configurable transparency, brightness, and behaviors. Create complicated effects that were previously impossible. o New control window management features. o Plus many other minor tweaks and fixes. PixelToy 2.2 requires a PowerPC processor, QuickTime 3.0 and Appearance Manager (Appearance Manager is part of Mac OS 8.0 and later).

Neef" To: digest@info-mac.org Subject: USB and Serial My new Epson 740 inkjet printer has both USB and Serial input ports. My new iMac-DV-se (USB printer port) and my Performa-6205 (serial printer port) sit side-by-side. I've planned to connect both computers to the Epson through the two printer input ports, leaving them both connected all the time. I do not have either computer set for "background" printing. I will soon try it. But ... I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has used such a setup successfully ... or warnings from those who've tried it and failed. I hope there will be no damaging feedback between the two computers. (??)
