The recent death of Micheal Jackson has thrown my radio listening back to the 80's.  Not that I mind really.

And while it's possible to cast an eye back to the intenet in the 80's and probably find something interesting on the pop icon in usenet I am reminded of a much more interesting intenet blast from the past.   Well OK it was only 2 years ago, but intenet time is really fast.

TCP/IP Send/Receive Actors

Support for Dual/Triple Head 2 Go

Stage Preview Control

Vista Compatibility

Enable/Disable Actor Snapshot Feature: 

Send Serial Actor:

But therea are plenty more new things to check out.
How could we have used isadora without all those asome features you may ask?
Oh yea, it has 1000 other features and it's wicked easy to use. (er ... OK it's pretty complex, but it's at least 4 times as easy when comparied with anything else that can do anything like it)

One of the motions I’ve been trying to represent physically is the selection of a region of audio. There are any number of screen-based ways to do this, but I wanted to create something mechanical that could do this.
