I found the upgrade info. I'll have to pay US$ 30. What a drag. If we'd waited another week to order I'd have the new version now. . .< 1:49:03 AM  > Just hours after the release of version 5.2.1 of MS Internet Explorer for MacOS X I had the update on my desktop. Today I found it there and realized that I had not run it yet for a very simple reason, I've been using Mozilla as my primary browser.With plenty of Ram available, I'm actually running both, but I found myself clicking on the "M" icon much more frequently that the "E" one. I got used to tabbed browsing, to the multiple links bookmarks, to the direct link to google in the address field and to a somehow faster rendering of pages. Very soon I could swicth the default browser settings of my system, and for the second time of my life I will have changed my default browser (I switched from Netscape 4 to Explorer 4 sometime at the end of the last century). The main reason for my switch will be a bunch of very simple new features, something that has been totally missing from IE for a long time. [Paolo Valdemarin: Paolo's Weblog] Bingo. My experience almost exactly. . .< 1:43:19 AM >Automatic thumbnail images on iTools pages [Mac OS X Hints] Excellent. . .< 1:38:17 AM >Edit iMovie files with any text editor [Mac OS X Hints] . .< 1:32:12 AM >FrontierMonitor for OS X. From Emmanuel Décarie, a Perl daemon that “will try to launch the Frontier/Radio servers if they are down and will send you a warning by email while logging the event in a log file.” [ranchero.com] . .< 1:20:38 AM >FileMaker announces FileMaker Pro 6 [The Macintosh News Network] 'OS X-specific improvements include support for OS X services, long file names, import/export of ODBC-based data and Execute SQL script.' There it is. Less than 2 weeks after i installed 5.5 on my machine. I went to see what might be offered for someone in my position but the FMP site hasn't been updated yet. . .< 1:09:53 AM >Internet Explorer 5.2.1 Released (07-Jul-2002; 1K) [TidBITS]'In a singularly unhelpful move, Microsoft has released Internet Explorer 5.2.1 for Mac OS X with absolutely no indication of what has changed.' . .< 1:05:35 AM >David Roy warns that attaching an externally-powered FireWire device to a Mac without its power supply connected properly may ruin the Mac's FireWire ports (an expensive problem).
