ContraSense 1.6
ContraSense - You drive a tiny car against incoming traffic! No brakes! more>>
Morse Mania is a morse code tutor for the Macintosh. Morse Mania provides the following three modules to help you learn morse code: Learn Characters - Each morse code character is displayed on the screen as it is being played. This is useful when youre first learning the morse code alphabet, as it helps you link each sound to the corresponding character. Guess a Character - Morse code characters are played, and you must type the key of the character sent. At the end of the exercise, your score is displayed. Copy Groups - Random five letter morse code character groups are sent (and displayed on the screen). You select how many morse code groups you would like to have sent, and practice by copying the groups down. At the end of the exercise, compare what you copied to what was actually sent.
Requirements: Macintosh OS X 10.2 or later Mac OS 9.2 or later

LeopardAssist 2.3
Install Mac OS X Leopard on any system that doesnt match up with the 867mhz CPU requirements. more>> Install Mac OS X Leopard on any system that doesnt match up with the 867mhz CPU requirements.
Install Mac OS X Leopard on any system that doesnt quite match up with the 867mhz CPU requirements without hassle. No CPU upgrades, no DVD hacking, just a simple one-time-use tool.
LeopardAssist works by using a temporary Open Firmware "trick", changing the reported CPU speed to 867mhz and starts the installer from CD.
In technical terms, the application writes a file, "boot.txt" to the root directory of the hard disk, and configures the NVRAM (PRAM) to boot from it. On restart, Open Firmware reads the file which contains instructions to change the reported CPU speed, switches to CD or DVD and boots from it, where the Leopard installer takes over.
This simple trick means you dont have to modify your DVD to install Leopard. Finally, when installation is done or when installation is ready to reboot, you simply flash the PRAM back to restore the original CPU speed and restore booting from the hard disk.
NOTES:
- All effects of LeopardAssist are 100% reversible by simply, as always, flashing the PRAM to return to a previous state by holding down Command (Apple) + Option + P + R and restarting the machine until you hear the second chime.
- The users are strongly encouraged to exercise caution in using this and it is at your own risk.
Enhancements:
- Now supports additional systems (including the PowerBook G4 series).
- Auto-Detects number of System Processors.
- Removes faulty RAM check code.
- Minor improvements to Error Reporter.
Listen! 1.0
Listen! - an audible anchor more>>
That is called an audible anchor. Listen! helps you repeat that experience any time you wish. Listen! can also be used as a friendly timer to let you know your study time, nap time, exercise time, etc., is up.
When you launch Listen? you see a small, simple Control Window with two pushbuttons. Click on the "Setup" button to bring up the Setup Window.
The Setup Window provides a choice of three modes plus sliders to set the time between sounds (ten seconds to sixty minutes).
When you first launch Listen! a folder titled "ListenSounds" is placed in the Users/~/Documents folder. (On Windows XP, this folder is created in the My Documents folder.) Wav sound files with a ".wav" prefix placed in that folder are used by this application.
When you next launch Listen! these sound files will be recognized and used.
Math Practice 3.1.0
Math Practice - basic math facts practice more>>
We wrote this facts review program to eliminate some problems associated with paper work sheets. There is no copy machine, no hand correcting, and for students that have trouble with the pressure of timed tests, most of these puzzles allow them to practice independently with a timer. Best of all, these activities are perhaps a bit more fun than regular paper worksheets.
And what could be more fun that running an Aqua-style interface on a non-OSX PPC or Windows machine? Need to run your iMac lab under OS9 with only 256 colors? Hey, us, too. Specially optimized graphics insure that Aqua-style color gradients look good even at 256 colors.
Although many of the games in this application were designed with 8-10 year olds as the target audience, most ages from 7 and up will find suitable activities.
Main features:
This application contains several different math fact exercises.
- 1. Facts against a timer
- 2. Multiplication facts review
- 3. Division facts review
- 4. Addition facts review
- 5. Subtraction facts review
- 6. Number Sentence: 2 difficulty levels with timed Halls of Fame.
- 7. Magic Squares: 11 different games with timed Halls of Fame.
Enhancements:
- added options for timed facts testing
- overall increased speed
- improved cosmetics across versions of OS X.
aTypeTrainer4Mac 2.1
Advanced multilingual typing tutor more>>
A multilingual typing tutor for Mac OS X. It is an advanced version of TypeTrainer4Mac. All of the system keyboard layouts (but not input methods!) as well as a wide variety of non-system keyboard layouts (i.e. Dvorak, Colemak or custom layouts being built using Ukelele) are completely or partially supported.
You have to type a mixed-string of random characters. You can customize a character set at each of the 30 levels, and thus, you can control the learning process. You can also import texts from TextEdit, from Mail or from your web browser. Each session provides two run logs, one in RTFD format and one in HTML format. The RTFD log is generated at the end of each session and suitable for printing as well as close inspection. The HTML log is generated at the start of each session and actualized every second. Therefore, it is suitable for following the typing process. Thus, teachers get an actual oversight of the typing protocol of all pupils/students of their class at any given moment of time. In the Preferences, you can adjust a host of settings in order to make your typing exercises to your liking.

It is meant to be used to help students prepare for actual lab experience. It could also be used in cases where laboratory facilites are not accessible, for instance in K-12 schools or home schooling.
At present, supported experiments include titration, calorimetry, freezing point depression, vapor pressure, spectrophotometry and extraction.
Enhancements:

Aleksandar B. Samardzic - quality enhancements to simulate several common general chemistry exercises. GenChemLabActive Kidz 1.1
Active Kidz - Learning tool for kids more>>
The software is free and has inspired some other Active Kidz programs. In fact, Scott and Amy took the name, copied the original Active Kidz website, even going so far as to use unchanged graphic images we had created for themselves. Since this was a viral marketing concept - make it neat and free - I think we achieved enormous success through their success. They are on TV, have DVDs and are doing live shows. They gave this project a real human face and they deserve a look. Remember, "veggies are vegelicious!"
3VOOR12 luisterpaal 1.0
3VOOR12 luisterpaal - With this widget you can listen new album releases more>> My CalStep is more than just calorie tracking software, it also tracks your steps. While there are many ways to exercise, My CalStep focuses on walking. Walking is an easy way to ignite your activity level. Save money and lose weight by doing something that you can do for free, that you probably already do - walking. A good target amount of steps for an active lifestyle is 10,000, but with this step and calorie tracker, you set the goal, then be encouraged or motivated by your results. You enter your goal and daily totals of both calories and steps into My CalStep, and then you can clearly see where youre succeeding and when you need to pick up the pace... or put down the cookie.
This step and calorie tracking program is designed to work in conjunction with a pedometer. A pedometer is a small, inexpensive device that clips to your side (belt or pants) and tracks your steps throughout your day. If you dont already own a pedometer you can purchase one at most general department stores for under $5.00. By wearing a pedometer throughout the day, youll be able to track how many steps youve taken. Once you get to your computer, simply enter the number of steps youve taken into My CalStep.
You can either choose to add steps as you go, or enter the total number at the end for your day. My CalStep will keep track of the days total number of steps. For example; if you take 5,000 steps, then enter 5,000 into My CalStep and reset your pedometer and take 4,000 more steps, then add those, My CalStep will only track that you have taken 9,000 steps (not that you took 5,000 then 4,000 more).<<less
