Revelation v2.1 and Benchmark This month's we are featuring two programs that will help you get to know your computer better! Revelation v2.1 by Jim Moore Ever wonder how much RAM your applications are actually using? Are you tired of running out of memory while running multiple applications? Revelation is the answer! This tiny (only 33k on your hard disk) application uses only 80k of RAM, yet it keeps you abreast of the various goings on within your system. Just slip an alias of this program in your startup items folder (within the System Folder) and the next time you start up a small status bar will greet you. The bar continuously displays your system's vital statistics and an irrestible pair of cartoon eyes follow your cursor around and blink when you type. The eyes are even functional; they move slowly whenever an application "hogs" memory. SuperClock by Steve Christensen Displays a fully configurable digital clock in the menu bar next to the balloon help icon. This is the Control Panel that was incorporated into version 7.5 of Apple’s system software. Choose your font, color and the type of information displayed. In addition, you can choose a sound to be played as a chime. TaxByte by Jim Moore Here's a quick and dirty way to figure out how much of your hard earned money the the kind folks at the IRS are entitled to. If you need a quick thumbnail sketch, for instance in tax planning, you'll find that TaxByte gives a pretty accurate estimate. TimeClock&SignOut by Mike Nudd - CopperHead Software A time clock and in/out board program. Another great accessory for the office Mac! NOTE: When prompted for a password enter “nw” (lowercase).
