Description:
MacHistory 11/93 - In an attempt to make some sense out of its current
computer line, Apple has launched 14 new products to add to its line and
our confusion. The Performa line will remain with its mass market
customers, all LC's will eventually be drawn back to the Education
channels, and the Quadra line will be the products you will find at your
local retailer. It sounds so simple, but without a scorecard (MacHistory)
it might be easy to lose track of what's out there, and where Macs have
been. MacHistory gives infomation on the model number, small picture,
processor, cpu speed, Maximum RAM, video display, max color display,
maximum watts, intro date, discontinued date and more!

Palatino family (since it looks good, and it comes with HyperCard) and
9-point Monaco (for columnized text). By Mark Zimmermann.
Name = The Talking Watch 1.0
Path = AMUG CD:Files:Education:T-Z:The Talking Watch 1.0
Size:227K Date:11/20/93 Version: 1.0
Description:
The Talking Watch 1.0 - The Talking Watch, is a wonderful animated talking
game that will teach children how to tell time. The Talking Watch uses a
big giant clock face with hands that really move and Speech Manager, to ask
and tell children the time. Pre-school aged children and up will quickly
learn to tell time by seeing and hearing. Since Speech Manager is not
readily available, I have designed the game to work without it. This is a
better solution then to include the original Macintalk which is very
unstable! The Talking Watch includes digitized sounds which will still give
the game that fun talking atmosphere. If you have any question about Speech
Manager please feel free to call the author.

your circuit schematics look just right. You can drag and drop elements,
cut and paste, annotate your diagram with text, align elements relative to
one another, and much more. Many of these features are quite intuitive.

Description:
MacCurveFit1.03 - MacCurveFit is a program written for scientists, science
students or anyone who wants to fit user defined functions to a set of data

kinetics data. The popular commercial graphics packages allow you to fit
linear, polynomial and logarithmic curves to data, but most packages don’t
let you specify your own equation. However MacCurveFit allows you to fit
almost any equation you choose. The program also lets you directly
manipulate the coefficients or constrain them to chosen values. It is very
flexible in this regard and gives you control over which coefficients will
be optimized and even which mathematical algorithm will be used.

word will then turn into a question mark. The student must then recreate
what they heard and saw by either typing the letter keys or by pressing the
alphabet blocks with the mouse. As you spell the word, the question marks
will turn into letters while simultaneously sounding each letter.

Euclidb18 - MacEuclid is an easy-to-use program for creating, editing and
analyzing reasoned arguments. When most individuals think of an "argument",
they expect several participants communicating with each other. In the case
of Euclid, however, an argument is any type of reasoned discourse. It may
be a single person presenting a case, it could be several people
collaborating to create a single case, or it could be a group of people
arguing against each other. Euclid supports arguments created over long
distances and stretches of time. Any research article or editorial can make
great use of this program for formulating sound, logical arguments and
clarifying them.

synthetic aperture radar, or SAR, able to look through the perpetually
thick clouds of Venus to the planet's surface-a surface which prior to
Magellan had been virtually "unseeable" in any detail. Magellan made
surface objects as small as 120 meters (400 ft) visible, thus providing
valuable new insight into the geological history of the planet.

simultaneously engage the student in a way they might not otherwise be
engaged. With very little practice, the instructor should be able to create
lessons including digital sound, interactive video, graphics and text,
designed to provide collaborative support to the intermediate and beginning
language student. By David Herren.

the Neolithic Period, as life became settled and villages began to appear,
writing and counting became increasingly useful, if not necessary. With

are extremely variable. VIRUSES are simple life forms consisting of nucleic
acid, encoding genetic information, and surface components of protein that
enable them to enter cells. Unable to multiply outside of living host
cells, they are completely dependent on these cells for their continued
maintenance. Viruses utilize the metabolic machinery of the cell and have

Italian Renaissance to characterize all the monuments of the Middle Ages
because they were contemptuously regarded as the products of barbarian
