Subject: [*] Tile-iT 2.7.0


Tile-iT Icons is an application that use the custom Icons of System 7.X
to display pictures or text on the desktop or in any windows.  Tile-iT
takes any PICT from the clipboard, break it into 'Tiles', convert those
tiles
to icons, assign those icons to documents and finally arrange those
documents so that they touch each other.  In other words, a Tile-iT
frame of 3 x 3 icons is composed of 9 documents each having a custom
icon representing a portion of the original picture.

Version 2.7 introduce auto masking and gradual transparency. These two
options are close to magic.  There easy to setup and are very user
friendly.
You can also apply a transparent filter globally on ALL the tiles
produced.

Tile-it use 32 bits 'icns' resources so that you can display pictures in

thousand and millions of colors.
Tile-it is also the most userfriendly of these kind of application.
**No other applications in its class is as easy to use **.
You must try it to believe it.

The perfect companion for CD burners and shareware developers or
just for the fun of it.

This is a major update and a lot of bugs have been fixed.  There is a
rebuild option available in case you loose the alignment of the tiles.
This has been tested up to PowerPc G4 running MacOS 9.1. It needs MacOS
7.1 to run properly.

You can have any amount of Ram in each slot. Example, I have 64-64-128.

I've run my Beige G3 in the past few weeks with the CD-ROM set to 
both slave and master [not simultaneously, of course ;)]. 
Everything's been fine.  I was able to boot from a CD in both cases.

Subject: These TidBITS go to eleven

Hey folks,

In these days of dot.coms dropping like the proverbial flies, I 
thought you might appreciate a spot of good news and longevity. This 
week's issue of TidBITS (#576) marks our 11th anniversary of 
continuous Internet publication, cementing our status as one of the 
oldest solely electronic publications on the Internet.

To commemorate the event, I've gone back and re-read all the TidBITS 
issues from our second year of publication - April of 1991 to April 
of 1992. It's fascinating to see how far we've come, but also just 
how little some things have changed. RAM was $40 per megabyte, versus 
35 cents per megabyte today, and we were talking about 88 MB SyQuest 
cartridges that cost about the same as an 80 GB hard disk disk now. 
But even back then we were covering topics like adding protected 
memory to the Mac OS, distributed computing, and wireless networking. 
You might find the article amusing - it's at:

<http://db.tidbits.com/getbits.acgi?tbart=06397>

Hope you enjoy the brief retrospective!

cheers ... -Adam
