American Hangman v2.0 - Carbonized for Macintosh OS9 and OSX!
Merrimack, New Hampshire, August 5, 2002: Ken Winograd and Space-Time
Associates announced today the "Carbonized" release of version 2.0 of a
fun Macintosh game called American Hangman. American Hangman is an
educational game based on the classic hangman word guessing game we all
played when we were kids. American Hangman merges the best of our
Presidents3000 and States3000 games into one inexpensive game. American
Hangman features colorful, non-violent graphics, digitized sounds,
synthesized speech, pictures and information, and options designed
especially for visually challenged users.
American Hangman is "secretly educational". It's played for fun, but you
can't help learning. Learn the names of the Presidents and their Vice
Presidents and First Ladies. Learn to recognize the face of each of the
Presidents. Learn their terms of office, their party affiliations, the
sequential ordering of the Presidents and more. Learn the States, the
State Capitals, State Birds, State Flowers, State Trees, State Nicknames
and more.
American Hangman includes Multi-Level Winning Streak Score Boards,
allowing students and family members to keep track of winning streaks.
Separate score boards are maintained for each difficulty level.
Version 2.0 is the first "Carbon" version of American Hangman, allowing
the game to run native in both OS9 and OSX.
American Hangman requires a Macintosh (PPC-only) with screen resolution
of 800x600 (or more), and OS9 or OSX.
For more information, or to download or securely register the program,
please visit the American Hangman web page at:

Subject: If you want to love your Mac just try Windows ME
Many Mac fans would be even more in love with their machine if they had to
live with Windows ME or 98. Just was able to repair ME using the DOS and
having a lot of fun with programs like Scanreg and Regedit.
Yes, you still have to use the DOS with this thing and yes it works from a
diskette!
However, Windows 2000 is pretty stable and more robust then ME and 98. Have
not tried XP but saw it in action on a HP which looked really Mickey Mouse
and I was not impressed. The whole combinaison of this PC and XP seems to be
made for kids.
Since I have to work almost daily with a Mac and a PC, often doing a job on
one while something else is running on the other, I can assure you that you
do not miss anything with a PC.
I had to buy a PC for consulting purposes because I have to use a
specialized Access program and another VB program, but I resisted as much as
I could. I even considered buying a Powerbook with Virtual PC, but this is
too slow. Virtual PC is fun for a while. Also, I had to troubleshoot my PC
client, which is kind of strange being a Mac guy!
Keep the faith, because on day they will understand!

Subject: Microphone for G4?
Sorry to burst your bubble, but there *is no* audio input jack on
your G4. The two jacks on the back are digital audio out and
headphones/line out. The *only* way to get audio directly into your
G4 is with a USB microphone, as you observed. My experience with USB
devices and Virtual PC indicates that if the device is connected and
functioning prior to launching VPC, then it will be treated as a
virtual device in VPC, and you shouldn't have any problems.

Hello Murph,
I have NEVER had a glitch with my comfortable Andrea USB NC-7100 mic that
came bundled with IBM's ViaVoice v3 for MacOSX.

I have a Belkin USB card with Apple's drivers (1.4.1) on an at work Starmax
3000/180 with a sonnet PCI G3 300 upgrade card in the L2 cache slot that has
worked flawlessly for well over 2 years. This machine runs, among other
things, a FMP database 24/7. There is an APC Back-UPS device, an Epson
EPL-5700i USB printer, and a Logitech optical cordless mouse connected and
active at all times. The only difference that I have found with the Starmax
PCI USB bus vs. apple's built in usb bus is I cannot use startup keyboard
combinations - for the bus doesn't seem to be live until all of the drivers
have loaded at boot up. For example, holding the shift key during startup
does nothing. In my case, however, I use a ADB mouse or ADB keyboard
connected to the Starmax's ADB bus when or if needed, which has been rare.
We have been running OS9.1 on the StarMax for a considerable period of time
with no unusual problems.
Good luck,
SH
