Many people don't like the idea of web sites using their hard drive to save information. There are many ways to defeat cookies, including other AppleScripts that delete the cookie file or sometimes just selected entries from the file. But where's the fun in that? Cookie's Revenge opens your cookie file and replaces the cookie data with subtly bogus information. Superficially it will look like all data is intact, but the information has been scrambled and rendered useless. Sites will think that they're tracking you when in fact they're only tracking random data. Currently Cookie's Revenge works only with Netscape Navigator. It should work with any version of Navigator. An Internet Explorer version may be forthcoming, if I ever get around to installing the program. This AppleScript is free. It can be found at .

Frodo was developed to reproduce the graphics of games and demos better than the existing C64 emulators. Therefore Frodo has relatively high system requirements: It should only be run on systems with at least a 68060/PowerPC/Pentium (although MacFrodo will run on 68030-based Macintoshes). But on the other hand, Frodo can display raster effects correctly that only result in a flickering mess with other emulators. In addition to the precise VIC emulation, Frodo features a processor-level 1541 emulation that is even able to handle about 50% of all fast loaders. There is also a faster 1541 emulation for four drives in .d64/x64 disk images, .t64/LYNX archives, or directories of the host system. Sound (SID) emulation is also provided.

It will be of particular interest to those who do freelance work for an hourly rate, but will also be useful for any number of other things. The emphasis in MultiTimer is on ease of use. Each project (or whatever) you want to keep track of is represented by a "module" in MultiTimer. Setting up a new module requires simply making one menu selection and typing a name for the module. Tracking the accumulated time spent on a project is accomplished by clicking a start/stop timer button. A pop-up menu shows you a module's total time for a session, day, week, month, year or a grand total. MultiTimer can optionally keep a "Log file" with a permanent record of all sessions that you time. Data from Log files can be viewed in a variety of formats, and can be pasted into other applications such as spreadsheets or databases. A number of other features are available, but everything is designed to be easy and intuitive. With MultiTimer you have all the features you need in a time-tracking utility, coupled with unparalleled ease of use. Full instructions are available within the program. This is version 2.1.4 of MultiTimer. This version corrects a bug that sometimes caused the wrong total for days to appear in Log files. 2.1.3 fixed a problem with timing sessions that extend past midnight. Versions 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 included some small fixes and enhancements over 2.1 and 2.1.1, and instituted the use of the Kagi shareware payment system. Critical Acclaim: "MultiTimer is an ideal program for people who need to keep track of how much time they spend on projects that are billed. ...very easy to understand. Four 'Mice'"! Dan Miller in the MacUser Software Central Web Site. Requires System 7.0 or later; 7.1 or later recommended.

It generates random passwords of a length you specify. You can pick how many passwords you need generated. You can pick what characters the passwords are composed of. They are then written to the screen or a text file. Who would use this anyway? Any sort of network administrator who needs to be giving out passwords. That's why I made it in the first place. RanPassword 1.3 1.3 - HyperCard - Cleaned up the code, used id numbers and short forms - Major speed improvements -- 400% faster. It could be faster, but you'd lose the progress bar. - fixed bug where it failed to validate that the fields contained numbers - fixed bug where program would run into an infinite loop if no boxes were checked - fixed a one-pixel misalignment (yes, I noticed!)
