StartThing is a very cool, simple and powerful screen-saver. Install the control panel, choose the delay before the saver starts up at idle time and the application to launch. That's it! The application to launch can be a Macromind Director Projector, a SuperCard project, a Quark-Immedia Presentation, an Applet or any other application... Tips: - You can easily create your own screen saver by choosing the "QuickShow" application (by David Howel) as the startup application. QuickShow is a freeware utility that shows all pictures, jpeg, QuickTime movies, etc. from a folder. - There are also a lot of tools to convert a QuickTime movie into an application.

Projects can be arranged in up to 50 main categories. Or if you prefer, you can use the category level for your projects, and use the next level down for detailed project subcategories. You can even arrange your projects over several separate copies of Digital Diary to add yet another level to your project hierarchy. Digital Diary=81 employs a double entry method, which records all notes i= n both a Day File as well as a Project File. A third location, the 'To Do List', is reserved for certain types of notes that require future follow up, such as appointments and project deadlines. Digital Diary=81 ships with note types arranged in two groups. The first group is set to be recorded in the To Do List as well as the Project File and Day File. Note types can be changed, added, or removed at any time. An on-screen reminder appears when the program is opened on or after the date specified for a future event listed in the 'To Do List'. Each project can also be assigned a status from a user-definable menu. A wide variety of reports can be generated, with information arranged by project name, status, or note type. Varying levels of password protection are available to control access to the program.

It can globally override all of your folder-specific view settings, making Mac OS 8 behave more like System 7, or easily change the requested view settings for single folders or entire disks. * To globally override the view settings, Finder View Settings must be stored in the Control Panels folder so it can patch the System at startup. You can then enable or disable the Finder overriding option with the appropriate check box in the main window. * To permanently change the view settings for a given set of folders, you can drop them on the Control Panel's icon or into the main window. Finder View Settings doesn't have to be in the Control Panels folder for this to work. $10 shareware. Have fun and support Alex.
