GURU is the industry standard tool for determining all possible memory upgrades for Macintosh, Macintosh compatibles and Apple PowerBooks. It is a stand-alone application that runs on 68K and PPC Macs.
When GURU is launched, it displays a floating palette like the one shown to the left. This palette is composed of a dozen and a half pop-up menus. Each pop-up represents a family of computers.
To help determine your next memory upgrade, simply choose the family which contains the computer you are interested in. Click and hold on the pop-up family. A list will appear which contains all members of that family. Slide the mouse to the desired machine and release the button. You will immediately be presented with the main information screen.

Monitor is a utility that lets you see what your Mac is doing. Monitor presents a number of different types of information ranging from CPU utilization and memory usage to disk space availability in the form of windows and graphs. Version 1.5-3 includes the author's new e-mail address (he does seem to move around a lot, doesn't he?) as well as bug fixes and new features. Also with this version, Monitor is compatible with System 7 Pro.
PRAM Battery Checker is a program which will inform you if your computer's PRAM battery has died. The PRAM battery is a small battery on the computer's motherboard that allows the computer to remember certain important parameters when the power is turned off such as the current date and time. When the PRAM battery dies it can cause system crashes and strange behavior in your computer and needs to be replaced. This program gives you a simple way to determine when that time has occurred. This is a problem will occur to all Macintosh computers during their lifetimes.
