Subject: (A) Call waiting while online arrives for the Mac
Dear Digest readers,
*70 didn't always work when you connected to the net with a modem on
some phones, and many PC users have had a software that would
gracefully make a quick exit of the connection to ask if you wanted
to take a call from somebody. 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,
[email protected]

Subject: [*] Mactivation 3.3 Neural Network Simulator
Mactivation 3.3 is an interactive neural network simulator that runs on
all Apple Macintosh computers. 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.

Subject: [*] PixelToy 2.2 Visual Display/Animation Generator
PixelToy isn't a game, nor is it a screen saver, nor a paint program
-- but it has aspects of all of these. 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).

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. (??)
