New Updates! - Here's a couple new updates that came
out after this week's post:
September 26 - October 2, 2001
A Perfect X - Apple
announced the release of Mac OSX 10.1 to be available this Saturday,
October 29th. The much anticipated update is reported to have
significant improvements over previous versions. Along with the
new version, Apple has announced
"that more than 1,400 third-party applications are now available
for Mac OS X version 10.1." Current users of OSX can upgrade
"free" for $19.95 (the fee covers shipping and handling).
If one would prefer speedier delivery, they can opt for overnight
or 2nd day delivery for an additional fee.
Too Legit to Quit - Napster,
the all too familiar internet music rebel, is nearing its day
of "legitimacy." Napster will soon charge a fee for
their service. They have reached a settlement in which they will
pay $26 million for the music they have used without permission,
but songwriters and music publishers will be able to license
their music with Napster. Though Napster has not yet reached
a settlement with the Recording Industry Association of America,
the group which led major efforts to have Napster turned off,
their chief executive, Konrad Hilbers, says the new Napster membership
service will be available before the end of this year.
MonkieNews - Here's the latest in the Jungle Gym at
MacMonkies:
- We are pleased to feature a second installment of work by
Mr. Todd Darland. This week's desktop is entitled Blue Moon.
- MacMonkies has two new creations in the Gallery:
Which and Coke.
- Next week we will set an absolute deadline for our...I can't
tell you that now! Stop in next Wednesday and take a peek!
- We have added Page 3 in our Desktop area. My how things grow
when you're havin' fun.
- Last Wednesday we had a record number of visitors in a single
day since MacMonkies opened its doors!! Thank you VERY
much!
Bad Apples - The opening of the Apple Store at the
The Shops
of Saddle Creek in Germantown, TN, has been postponed. Apple has not revealed why the
opening of the store has been postponed, but they have had trouble
with their sign because Germantown does not allow food items
on their signs and also does not allow internally illuminated
signs. Apple wanted to use a picture of an apple on their sign
and also use a sign that was illuminated. Apple has not yet given
word of an alternate opening date for the Tennessee store. Somebody's being one sour apple. - from MacCentral
Hard Luck?? - An Australian man won the lottery by
choosing the numbers off his hospital ID bracelet. He was in
the hospital for breaking his leg, and now has split 3 million
dollars (1.47 million U.S. dollars) with two other winners from
New South Wales and Queensland states. He told reporters that
everything seemed like a dream. - from Excite
Cool Cats - The average cat owner will tell you that
their  pet is
unusually talented or gifted. Though this may be true for some,
an in depth study tells us otherwise. Cats seem to be very good
communicators amongst themselves. It by this means they are able
to pass traditions from generation to generation. Therefore,
most cats are created equal. They have certain rules they live
by. To view these common rules, CLICK

What's HOT! (Continued) - Last week MacMonkies
reported that QPS-Inc.
had announced the immediate availability of their new DVD Burner.
However, Mac compatibility was still uncertain. MacMonkies
contacted QPS and received the following information:
"If you do have the authoring software, the DVD Burner
might work, but you would have to check with the manufacturer
to see if that software supports the drive.
Yes, Roxio does have DVD burning capability. Our external
Pioneer DVD drive does have Roxio software bundling now....this
is current news to me."
Banana Bushel - Something is brewing in the back at
the MacMonkies Coconut Palace. Maestro Monkie Head won't
say a word. However, we're gonna keep pestering him until he
spills the banana bunch. If indeed we do crack the coconut case,
we will post it BEFORE the next update. Come on back now, ya
hear?

Gotta Wear Shades! |
Oh yeah! Sometimes the future's so
bright, ya gotta where shades. Even then, I STILL can't see a
thing.
As mentioned earlier, MacMonkies had more visitors on
Wednesday than any single day before. One trend I am certainly
beginning to see is people like to SMILE! It seems the more smiles
we offer, the more people come back for more. We have certainly
seen some hard times lately. But there is no better remedy than
a good old fashioned ear-to-ear grin!
So, as always, a grin in what we will do our best to deliver.
And hey! Don't be shy. Send us your happy material and we'll
give it a whirl. The more the better. Head over to our About
Page and send you contribution to the appropriate
category. Let's pass that smile around!
Smell me later!
