Subject: (A) Call waiting while online arrives for the Mac

Dear Digest readers,
*70 didn't always work when you connected to the net with a modem on 
some phones, and many PC users have had a software that would 
gracefully make a quick exit of the connection to ask if you wanted 
to take a call from somebody.   Now this software will be coming to 
the Mac at:
http://www.internetcallmanager.com/

It should be available sometime this fall.

Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
abrody@smart.net

Subject: [*] Mactivation 3.3 Neural Network Simulator


Mactivation 3.3 is an interactive neural network simulator that runs on
all Apple Macintosh computers. Users can learn and investigate the
concepts of associative memory in a two-layer parallel distributed
processing (PDP) architecture. A graphical user interface provides
direct access to units, connections, and patterns. Basic concepts of
network operations can be explored, with many low level parameters
available for modification. A comprehensive user's manual includes cell
biology, simulated neurons and networks, learning and memory. Source
code (circa 1987) is included. Freeware.

Subject: [*] PixelToy 2.2 Visual Display/Animation Generator


PixelToy isn't a game, nor is it a screen saver, nor a paint program 
-- but it has aspects of all of these.  With PixelToy you can 
generate an endless variety of beautiful, mesmerizing moving images. 
You can have PixelToy's display dance to live sound input, and 
generate QuickTime movies of spectacular visual effects with it.

PixelToy may be fun, but it's not just a toy!  Dance clubs and cafes 
around the world dazzle audiences with PixelToy's live visual 
effects.  What's more, visual artists have added PixelToy to their 
arsenal of video effects generation software, using QuickTime movies 
from PixelToy in non-linear video editors such as iMovie and Adobe 
After Effects.

Features new to version 2.2:
 o  New Images action: create 1- and 8-bit image objects, each with fully
    configurable transparency, brightness, and behaviors.  Create complicated
    effects that were previously impossible.
 o  New control window management features.
 o  Plus many other minor tweaks and fixes.

PixelToy 2.2 requires a PowerPC processor, QuickTime 3.0 and 
Appearance Manager (Appearance Manager is part of Mac OS 8.0 and 
later).

Subject: USB and Serial

My new Epson 740 inkjet printer has both USB and Serial input
ports.  My new iMac-DV-se (USB printer port) and my Performa-6205
(serial printer port) sit side-by-side.  I've planned to connect
both computers to the Epson through the two printer input ports,
leaving them both connected all the time.  I do not have either
computer set for "background" printing.

I will soon try it.  But ... I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who
has used such a setup successfully ...  or warnings from those
who've tried it and failed.  I hope there will be no damaging
feedback between the two computers.  (??)
