Review: Game Wizard PCI Graphics Accelerator.
By Kirk Hiner
It's on rare occasion that I can admit to something "blowing me away." Recently, I only remember it happening upon my first listening of Brian May's "Another World" CD and after eating my friend Suzanne's stuffed shrimp. However, neither of those really fit the Applelinks review qualifications. What does fit, and what did blow me away, was Micro Conversions, Inc.'s Game Wizard PCI Graphics Accelerator.
Date: Thu, 31 Dec 1998 02:05:25 -0800 From: The EvangeList Mailing List <evangelist@apple.com> Subject: PR - AutoScript.Fm Repriced For Everyone
This announcement is from:
Gregory Charles Rivers <mailto:gregory@gnb.com.hk>
AutoScript.fm - the tool that makes life easier for FileMaker Pro users and developers - has been repriced.
The price for admission to the world of efficient FileMaker Pro scripting has been lowered to just US$48. It is hoped that AutoScript.fm can subsequently become universally accepted by FileMaker Pro users, aiding in the development of great FileMaker Pro databases.
AutoScript.fm is a scripting utility for FileMaker Pro users that makes the daunting task of transferring FileMaker Pro scripts from one database to another much easier and quicker.
AutoScript.fm also facilitates the sharing of FileMaker Pro scripts by saving scripts in a text format that can easily be copied and emailed to friends and associates anywhere in the world. FileMaker Pro magazines can use AutoScript.fm to make their sample scripts more accessible, while FileMaker Pro user groups can use AutoScript.fm to make group-shared scripts accessible, reproducible and portable.
The new price of $48 will be effective with the next release of AutoScript.fm, version 1.0.6 due by December 31. The new version will also feature a new VISE installer, a small bug fix and an enhancement in the getting of custom FileMaker Pro window data.
The AutoScript.fm web site is now accelerated through FireWire via the Reprahduce (Mac-friendly) ISP for extra speed. Version 1.0.5a and newer of AutoScript.fm downloads are and will also be hosted by Reprahduce, although only via http.
For details, please visit the AutoScript.fm web site or email the author Gregory.

This tidbit is from:
The Digital Guy <mailto:evangelist@apple.com>
Well, not only do I plan to attend Macworld SF '99 (which will probably be the most enjoyable Macworld in quite some time :) someone decided it would be fun to have me pontificate on "Taking your Web Site to the Next Level". That's right, someone (who doesn't know any better, I'm sure) has put me on one of those panel things.
Dave Taylor will be moderating myself, Scott Kelby, Rick Tracewell and Neil Robertson as we talk about...well, I don't know exactly what we'll be talking about yet. I'm hoping I get to do my "Top Five Things You Can Do to Kill a Web Site", wherein I finally get to rant at a semi-receptive audience about my favorite HTML based pet peeves.
EvangeListas interested in such things should come and check it out on Friday, January 8 from 2:00 to 3:15 PM in Moscone Center South, Room 307.

This tidbit is from:
"Brian K. Mackey" <mailto:bkmackey@bellsouth.net>
Did anyone see this week's (12/26) episode of "Martial Law" on CBS? If so, did you notice that, in the final scenes of Sammo tooling around LA in the Caddy that one of the sights featured was a giant "Lucy & Desi" ad on the side of a building? How fitting- a show about a Chinese cop turning things upside down in LA shows us the company that's turning the computer world on its ear!
