Rated 4 stars at ZDNet! Rated 5 Dudes (highest rating) by FileDudes! LockOut is a simple application to help keep people from using your Mac while youØre away. LockOut helps keep your Mac safe from co-workers while at the office, and from your kids while at home. Once LockOut is activated, all anyone will see on your Mac is the LockOut security screen: *A valid password must first be entered to access your Mac *Messages can be left by others *Create your own custom voice warning *Easily activated with a customizable hot key *Activate automatically after a pause time *Monitor security warnings from anywhere via e-mail. *And more... Here's what people say about LockOut: *I'm a writer, tv mainly, and I drag my G3 lap-top around hotels and studios all over the country (UK). LockOut is a beautiful programme. Nice and simple, and simply keeps prying eyes off my scripts. -- Leslie S. *I really like the product. It saved me a lot of grief while I was on vacation and didn't want people "messing" in my files. One person here has the touch-of-death on computers and I wanted to make sure he didn't kill mine! I am recommending LockOut to others. Thanks again. -- Christine L. *I think that (LockOut) is great since living alone and an artist/businessman with a maid service that has access to my apartment room here affords the paranoia of wondering if anyone might be accessing info. or tampering with my PowerMac while I am away at work. -- Jerry B. *I'm finding (LockOut) very useful - nothing like having a simple thing that does its job well and easily. -- Jan A. W. Changes in version 2.1.1: *Added "Alert via eMail" option to the Settings. All security messages can now be emailed.

PubMedMakerII automatically transfers PubMed text data to FileMakerPro file. PubMedMakerII also makes Reference list with rich text format (RTF), HTML format, or plain text. You can easily arrange it to fit the journal's format to which you are going to contribute. What's new in this version (Version 3.7, Jan 10, 2001) 1. Duplicate records delete function: You can delete duplicate records at once by duplicate records delete button. 2. Improvement of Reference setup: You can set issue number and delimitors without space in the Reference list. The pop-up menus of delimitor and font are editable. 3. IGMconverter 1.1: IGMconverter 1.0 included in PubMedMakerII 3.6 makes the first empty record if Internet Explorer is used to download data from Internet Grateful Med. This conversion error is fixed in IGMconverter 1.1. 4. Removal of trial period of 60 days: A splash screen appears after unregistered use of 60 days, but limitation of usage is eliminated. System Requirements FileMakerPro 3.0 or later.

As you walk through a painted landscape, your goal is to find and collect all of the hidden wheels. Each wheel represents one spoke of the Buddha's Noble EightfoldPath. For each 2 wheels you discover, you will then be able to find one of the Four Noble Truths. Along the way, you'll also find many of the Buddha's teachings, in the form of suttas from the Pali Canon. New in version 2.0 --all teachings are now from the Pali Canon, and are sourced "Wheel of the Teachings" is made available for free, as a gift of Dhamma.

(PS, NE)" To: digest@info-mac.org Subject: Using ATI Rage 128 in Pre-G3 Mac My son picked up a Radeon PCI video card at MacWorld yesterday, so I have the opportunity to pick up the OEM ATI video card from his blue and white G3 for my UMAX S900. I see from ATI's web site that their drivers don't support the OEM card, nor does ATI tech support. Would anyone have experience with installing this card in a non-G3 Mac? Any pitfalls to watch out for? OS limitations? I'm using OS 8.1 for now. As always, your assistance is much appreciated.
