Startup Doubler 2.6
January 3nd, 2001: Startup Doubler 2.6 is now available for downloading
from www.marcmoini.com
Startup Doubler makes for quicker startups: Its software acceleration
compensates for sub-optimal disk performance to make extensions, control
panel, the Finder and startup applications load faster.
Save time each time you startup your Mac! Those seconds spent waiting
really add up: Startup Doubler is the fastest and easiest way to cut down
the wait. Expect older Macs to startup 20% to 50% faster! The latest G3 and
G4 Macs get less dramatic improvements as they're already pretty fast, but
if you have lots of Extensions, Control Panels and Startup Items you can
usually save 10 to 20 seconds at each startup!
Version 2.6, released today, adds support for Mac OS 9.1 and fixes a bug in
the Installer that would sometimes prevent installation, in addition to a
few other changes.
Startup Doubler runs on Mac OS 9.1 and previous versions (going back to

dentist appointments to schedule, passports to renew, or meetings to
attend...
The new version of Birthdays and Such, the most frequently used daily
reminder program on the Macintosh, extends the program's AutoQuit
functionality to add an AutoHide feature that lets Birthdays and Such hide
in the background on days when there are no reminders, only to pop up a

NetCloak 3.1.1 Update Addresses Potential Security Hole
Crystal Lake, IL, January 2, 2001 -- Maxum Development Corporation today
announced that a potential security hole has been discovered in the
recently released NetCloak 3.1. The problem, while serious, was discovered
by Maxum and has not resulted in any known real world break-ins. Still, the
company is strongly urging all NetCloak 3.1 users to install the free
update immediately.
Specific details about the problem are not public and will not be released
to protect sites that have not yet performed the upgrade. However, the
error may allow unauthorized users access to protected content when
NetCloak's new user registration feature is used. The problem is strictly
limited to pages protected using this new feature in NetCloak 3.1, and so
does not effect users of NetCloak 3.0 or earlier.
