Subject: [*] Mac Mail Purger v1.5
Stop wasting time if you have been mailbombed ! If you have been trawling
through hundreds or thousands of unwanted mails, Mac Mail Purger will allow
to eliminate them in record time
Requires any PPC mac with Open Transport, OS 8 and a POP mailbox (ie not
web-based accounts such as hotmail)
New features in this major update include:
-Ability to select which mails will be deleted
-Almost total rewrite of the network portion
-Many bugs flatened
-More helpful error messages
-Major speed increase. In Purge Mode, Mac Mail Purger 1.5 is over twice as
fast as Mac Mail Purger 1.1
-Rewritten documentation

Subject: [*] MuchoLauncher 1.0
MuchoLauncher is a simple utility, with which you can access your preferred
files, folders and programs by a simple mouse click!
MuchoLauncher also makes it possible to open a document with a chosen
application by using the drag & drop functionality, or even to reorganize
your files (move, copy or make alias) by dropping them on a folder icon.
You will be able to personalize your MuchoLauncher copy, add or remove
files, folders or programs, control panels, reorganize them and choose the
icon size, show the program names or even hide the title bar.
MuchoLauncher will help you not to lose time finding your files in hundred
of menus or thousands of windows.

Subject: [*] Plugin Filter source code
This is most of the source code to the Graphite plugin filter and
several others, in the hopes that it might be useful to someone. It
makes extensive use of Metrowerks CodeWarrior PowerPlant, drag & drop,
graphics tablet support, and a bunch of other neat things. The plugins
are based on a few core C++ classes and thus should be easily
extensible.

Subject: [*] The Atomic Mac 3.6.0
The Atomic Mac is a periodic table of the elements for the Macintosh. In
addition to the usual information found in such programs, The Atomic Mac
also contains a wealth of nuclear information on each isotope, including
half life, decay mode, and daughter products. X-ray data (fluorescence and
binding energies) is also available. A molecular weight calculator makes it
easy to find the molecular weight of compounds. A shaded diagram showing
the ranges of physical properties makes it easy to visualize relationships
across the periodic table.
Data is displayed for the following physical properties:
Density
Heat of Vaporization
Heat of Fusion
Specific Heat
Thermal Conductivity
Linear Expansion Coefficient
Melting Point
Boiling Point
Atomic Radius
Covalent Radius
Magnetic Susceptability
Electrical Resistivity
Electron Affinity
Electric Dipole Polarizability
State (gas, liquid, solid)
Photoelectric Work Function
Electronegativity
Crystal Structure
Valence

Subject: best accelerator cards?
Hello>
Can anyone advise me on which accelerator card I can buy for my
PowerComputing minitower PowerCenter 150? I am considering between
the Sonnet Crescendo G3 300mhz 1mb L2 backside cache and the XLR8
MachSpeed G3 300Mhz 512k/150 backside cache. They are both at the
same price here in the UK and low enough, I think, for a purchase now.
I believe that the Sonnet is put into a PCI slot whilst the original
processor is left in and it bypasses (cuts out) the original
processor to take over. I think that the XLR8 is a processor swap. I
am not sure about this, since I have had conflicting advice.
Also, will there be any noticeable performance speed difference
between the 1mb L2 backside cache of the Sonnet's and the 512k of the
XLR8's?
I haven't a great deal of technical knowledge.
Thanks,
> Ezra Nathan
