- In the September issue of MacUser, a utility called "CellMate" is listed,
- described as a menu-bar indicator of a PowerBook's battery.
- --"CellMate is available only on ZiffNet/Mac and can be downloaded without
- --a connection charge."
- Does this mean that I can join ZMac, dload this utility for free, and then
- never see nor hear from ZMac/C$erve again? What's the deal here?
-
- ALso mentioned (on page 287) is the fabled PowerOrgasm discussed here not
- too long ago. IT is listed as dload-able from Zmac; could some kind soul
- please post it in sumex, et. al.??
-
- While on the topic, does "Zmac Exclusive" mean that it is illegal to post it
- elsewhere? I personally find it SEVERELY annoying that MacUser relentlessly
- promotes telecommunicating, YET only their very own service. (A slightly
- askewed viewpoint, true, but I find their endeavor to be journalistically
- irresponsible, morally reprehensible and altogether icky.)
-
- Lastly, what's the scoop on Zmac?? Exactly what services are provided, and for
- what fees??
-
- Tirade over. Thanks for listening.
