MAY Shareware: FIRMWARE HELP

With thanks to Rick Curran of Coastal Mac!
DIMM
First Aid
The true hero of the month is Glenn Anderson of MacTCP and long-time producer of
nifty Mac utilities. The two that makes him a hero are DIMM First Aid and DIMMCheck.
DIMMCheck can evaluate the installed ram on your machine and determine if it is likely
to be disabled by Apple's firmware update. DIMM First Aid, the other half of the
problem-solving package can often restore memory that updated Macs cannot see. Both
products do not work under X . * ftp download

Stargazer
Stargazer Stargazer by Ruedi Schmid is a clever desktop planetarium for the Mac.
Stargazer is a sophisticated bit of shareware that offers the usual view of the sky
from any location on the earth but with features galore. The shareware fee of $29
unlocks additional options. - Thanks to: Sandy Foderick, Shareware

Screen
Catcher
St. Clair Software is another name folks recognize for quality software. St. Clair's
ScreenCatcher is a scriptable screen capture utility that includes a unique Catch-All
feature which auto-scrolls windows to capture entire documents. It is currently available
for systems 7 through 9 and 10 is coming soon. The download offers a 30-day free
trial and the shareware fee is $25. - Thanks to: Sandy Foderick, Shareware

Search
& Rescue
Search & Rescue by Thomas Riley is the first and only utility that I know of
that recovers lost data directly from your Mac's RAM. Every computer user has experienced
the frustration of having an application bomb in the middle of a project. Well, Search
and Rescue does its best to bring that bit of data back from the great beyond. Hard
to beat the price too: $15 for a single user license. - Thanks to:

Hangman
Of course, every desktop needs a time waster, and Hangman by Ken Winograd of Space-Time
Associates has produced a great version of a classic paper-and-pencil game. Add in
the digitized sounds, graphics, and multiple categories and the computer version
is even more fun. - Thanks to: Sandy Foderick, Shareware Managerfor
