That's it... come here... just a little more... SQUISH!! Haha! Eat seaweed fish-breath!" -- Blinky the teenage mutant goldfish. Welcome to Bubble Trouble folks, the latest game from Ambrosia in which cutthroat fishies are playing hardball in a squabble over some very wet turf. Think of it as splatball for insufferably cute seafaring critters (hey, they need their fun too). Bubble Trouble's world is filled with lusciously-drawn cartoony critters who give that cranky crab from "The Little Mermaid" a run for his money. But money isn't what you'll be running from: an otherwise peaceful fish bowl has been filled with bubbles that are being tossed around in an enthralling game of "Squish the Fish!" Yes, it's squish or be squished -- and there are plenty of would-be squishers just waiting for you to get your feet wet: Piranha and starfish and eels, oh my! But don't worry little fishy, there are plenty of power-ups and goodies you can hook your fin onto to give you a bit of an edge. Bubble Trouble is sure to extort squeals of delight from children of all ages, accented by the game's engaging sound effects and disturbingly perky music. But when the clock strikes midnight, remember: "Just one more game." Bubble Trouble is the proud offspring of two guys with funny accents (David Wareing and Alex Metcalf). Granted, when two guys get together, the result usually ends up being football, crude jokes, and awkward scratching -- but not this time!

If you don't know what these are, then you don't need Midi Thru. Midi Thru simply connects a controller synth to a slave synth. Midi Thru allows you to slave a synth, sending on the midi channel of your choice. It's great for those times when you don't want to fire up a major memory eating sequencing program to use as a midi thru or when you want to write lyrics in your word processor and don't have enough memory left to fire up your memory hogging midi sequencer or if you just want to jam on that favorite synth module. Its a simple program that does one thing and one thing well. It's a Midi Thru !!!! Midi Thru works on any mac running sys 7.0 and up with at least 1.5 meg of free ram. Midi Thru is now a Fat Binary, which means it will run in the fast native mode on power macs. Best of all Midi Thru is absolutely free of charge. Yes, thats no $$$BUCKS$$$!

(They may also work with the older MacNDS client, but no guarantees). Uses: Use these in a personal login script to log you in to NDS & mount some volumes (by telling the finder to open some NDS object files), or use it in a departmental shutdown script that looks at your context or user ID and takes an action depending on who you are.

Of course, like all icons in the Select* series, they do some interesting things when you select them. Select*Icons are all lovingly hand crafted by PixelMaster, Jason Rainbows. The most unique and strikingly beautiful icons available anywhere, each an individual jewel of icon design. Please enjoy them for their artistic value, and don't foist animosity upon me for some of the subjects included. Remember, these are what YOU - the general public - requested and I am, after all, your humble servant. I ask nothing but to please.

This gives you an idea of how large the document is, without having to scroll the window to find out. Try it for yourself, it speeds browsing the Net or going through your email, for example. Smart Scroll also adds Active Scrolling, which updates the display as you drag the scrollbar tab. Just release the tab when you see the part of the document you want: no more guessing where you'll end up! All scrollbars benefit from these improvements, even those hidden in Open and Save dialogs.

URL Manager distinguishes between Hypertext links, FTP servers, E-Mail addresses, Gophers, Finger, Telnet and Newsgroups and shows these URLs with different icons. Save your often used queries. Sort your bookmarks by name, URL address and color. You can use the Find menu command to search for URLs in your repository.
