Subject: (Q) Can the Cube support a second monitor?
I love my Cube at home (the silence, the small footprint), and am
considering one at work as well; but there I need to be able to
support two monitors. My guess is that it can't be done easily, if at
all. My second monitor is a ViewSonic G773.
I'm very familiar with the advantages of the G4 towers in speed and
expendability, and may go that way; but if I can make a Cube work,
I'd like to. Advice?

Hang2000 v1.7.3 Released!
<URL:http://www.winograd.com>
Merrimack, New Hampshire, December 14, 2000: Ken Winograd and Space-Time Associates announced today the release of version 1.7.3 of a fun Macintosh shareware game called Hang2000. Hang2000 is a new take on the classic hangman word guessing game we all played when we were kids. It features colorful, non-violent graphics, digitized sounds, synthesized speech, dozens of built-in word categories, thousands of words, unlimited lists of your own words, and special options especially designed for visually challenged users.
Hang2000 is "secretly educational". It's played for fun, but you can't help learning. Included in Hang2000 is a new "knowledge area". This area will include information associated with the guessed word or phrase. If the word chosen is from the States or Countries category, for example, the knowledge area will show the capital of the State or Country. If the category is Authors or Composers, the knowledge area will show facts about, or famous works of, the author or composer. You can also make your own lists (unlimited in number) and include your own associated information.
There are dozens of categories, guaranteed to include something for everyone. From Monsters and Dinosaurs to Star Trek and Television Shows, from Animals and Birds to Colors and Cities, from Fruits and Vegetables to Presidents and Vice-Presidents, from Rock and Roll to Opera and Musical Instruments. And literally dozens more!
Hang2000 includes Multi-Level Winning Streak Score Boards, allowing students and family members alike to keep track of winning streaks. Separate score boards are kept for each difficulty level, so users can compete against users choosing the same difficulty level.
Hang2000 also offers full support for what's often known as "accented characters". Hang2000 supports the entry and display of words in many languages, including Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, Flemish, French, German, Italian Norwegian, Spanish and Swedish. Hang2000 makes learning vocabulary more fun than ever before.
Version 1.7.3 of Hang2000 updates information in the Presidents and Vice Presidents categories.
Hang2000 requires a Macintosh that supports 256 colors or more. (A version of Hang2000 for Windows is also available.)

Subject: [*] Installer Observer 3.0.3 68K Version
Installer Observer is a program designed to aid a user in determining
exactly what an installer has done to his or her computer. Installer
Observer can discover all changes that an installer has made by essentially
comparing before and after states of the system. From this comparison,
Installer Observer locates all files that have been added, changed, or
removed, and presents them to the user in a neat, comprehensible format.
Important changes since version 2 include:
-Create "packages" from observations
-Scan any folder or group of folders on any disk, recursively or within the
first level only
-Exclude folders recursively or normally
-Controllable through AppleScript
-Immense speed increase when examining a folder "in greater depth."
-Observations window contains many more details about a file
-Multiple selections in Observations window for batch labeling, commenting,
moving, or deleting
-Option to view changes per folder in Observations window
-See an auto-scrolling graphical file path in Observations window or a
normal textual file path
-Layout changed in main window
-Observations window uses three column-view
-Individual PPC and 68k binaries (Note: Users of Mac OS 8.1 and lower who
have computers with PowerPC processors should download the 68k version of
Installer Observer.)
-Fixed an error that caused the examination to be halted and a message to be
displayed if a folder that had previously contained files was itself
replaced by a file.
-Scans can now be cancelled with command-"." in addition to examinations
-Compare two saved system states
