--------------------------------------------------- Mac Cosmo browser (without time bomb) now available --------------------------------------------------- -- forwarded from Linda Vigdor [Note from Dave Chamberlin, SGI] Due to the recent events at Cosmo, we've had difficulty getting the mac release onto cosmosoftware.com. Until these issues have been sorted out, it is being made available on two alternate web sites. You should note that this release is essentially a beta release, however the time-bomb has been removed. http://reality.sgi.com/chamber/cosmo/player/mac.html http://www.digitalbeing.org/cosmo/player/mac.html -Dave David Chamberlin | email: chamber@sgi.com | phone: 650-933-6414 ------------------------------------------------------------------ HOW Magazine's "Virtual Manhattan" article available on newsstands ------------------------------------------------------------------ HOW Magazine's digital design issue (August) is now available on newsstands. HOW is a high-end graphic design publication which has traditionally covered print topics. Because the readership is almost 100% Macintosh artists, the editor focused on Kathy Konkle's Macintosh landmark model but included URLs to other SIG members' landmark models (the editor of the VRML Developer's Journal indicated the landmark article will be published in the "third" issue.). ------------------------------------------------------------- Adobe Web Graphics Solutions for Web Developers, October 21st ------------------------------------------------------------- Adobe's Web Solutions for Programmers and Web Developers Register: http://www.adobe-nyc.com *** Daniel Brown, Adobe's Internet Evangelist, will demonstrate new Web graphics tools to an audience who may know HTML, VRML, DHTML, XML, Java, JavaScript and Perl but may want to explore graphics.
