This job announcement is from:
News Briefs, <newsbriefs@newsbriefs.net>
News Briefs <http://newsbriefs.net/>, "America's Digital Coffee Break," is seeking a person to fill the role of PR/Advertising Director. As a die-hard, all-Mac operation, we wanted to give the first crack at this job to another Mac user. We know they're more intelligent, wittier, better looking, and have cleaner, minty fresh breath. :-)
News Briefs is a comedy site which twists the news every workday, Monday through Friday. We're catching on faster than a 48-hour flu.
One reader said, "Absolutely vintage stuff... 'you guys' are better than Saturday Night Live ever was..." Another offers, "My wife is comin' out of the bedroom wantin' to know what in the hell I'm doin' laughin' and carryin' on like a damn' idiot!!" A third wasted soul says, "LOOK OUT MAD MAGAZINE. Keep it up, I'll be back. ps: I've contacted my attorneys. You'll be served later. Heh heh."
We just opened our doors and already we've raked in our first honest-to-goodness Award.
We're going places. Want to go with us? For information on this paid position, jump on over to:

This plug-in gives FileMaker Pro the ability to grab a picture from a video input and to put it into a container field.
The use of this plug-in is only limited by your imagination: You can easily create a webcam database, a conference registration database or a security database. We've included a sample student registration system, which shows the plug-in's ease of use. The plug-in works with any video input source that is compatible with QuickTime 2.5 or higher. This includes almost all AV Macintoshes and also the Connectix (color) QuickCam.
We invite you to test drive the beta version and would like to hear what _you_ can do with it! A fully functional version is available for downloading at Troi's Web site at:
We ask you to fill in a form before downloading to get an idea of our audience.
Troi Grabber Plug-in is currently available for Mac OS only. We are investigating a Windows version. Pricing still has to be decided. Details on prices and (developer) licenses will be made public when the plug-in's final version is released.

This announcement is from:
Rich Morin, <rdm@cfcl.com>
Prime Time Freeware (PTF) is pleased to announce the third printing of
"MkLinux: Microkernel Linux for the Power Macintosh"
Rich Morin, Editor; PTF, 1997 360 pp. (paper), two CD-ROMs ISBN 1-881957-24-1, MSRP US$ 50
Apple Computer's MkLinux Team finished Developer Release 3 a while back, but not everyone wants to download several hundred megabytes of kernel, applications, and documentation. Also, it's really nice to have a book around when you're trying to install stuff, try it out, etc.
So, we are pleased to announce the third printing of Apple's authorized Reference Release for MkLinux. It includes Apple's Developer Release 3 CD-ROM, PTF's MkLinux Reference CD-ROM, and a 360-page introduction and reference to MkLinux, PowerPC hardware, and related topics.
If you've been meaning to give Linux a try, but didn't want to mess with DMA vectors, IRQs, jumpers, and other PC-style hassles, give MkLinux a try! It's real Linux, just civilized a bit for a Macintosh audience...
For more information, visit PTF's web site <http://www.ptf.com>. While you're there, check out the MacPerl Pages <http://www.ptf.com/macperl> MacPerl is real Perl 5, extended and optimized for use under Mac OS...
