Hello all, the free Macintosh tide prediction software Mr. Tides has been updated and can be downloaded at: http://www.exmsft.com/~augusth/ Looks quite nice and the price (free) is right. Based on the GNU XTides. It has lots of options and can plot tide predictions from sites all over the world. If you like it send the author a note and tell him he's doing a great job. I love little free utility software like this. -Patrick *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

Looks like great software! I love tide tool for my Handspring visor, now when I go on trips my handspring rides along in a water proof case. Probably most of you know this one already, but just in case you missed here is another freebie tide software for your PDA. http://www.toolworks.com/bilofsky/tidetool.htm On an unrelated subject I hope everyone has their anti-virus up to date. I have received the Klez worm 3 times, fortunately Norton catches it before I even see the e-mail. There have been a few occasions of viruses sent from this list. Klez is seriously making the rounds. -- MZ (admin note - I've been getting 30 plus copies a day, including some where the From: address had been set to one of my accounts :-( - fyi, virus is amongst the words guaranteeing your email will be proofread by the admin) the free Macintosh tide prediction software Mr. Tides has been updated and can be downloaded at: http://www.exmsft.com/~augusth/ [demime 0.92b removed an attachment of type image/gif] *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

I got a copy of it when I went paddling with Bob and Joan Volin in Florida a couple of years ago (has it been that long?). They "beamed" it to my visor but I had to subsequently download the data files. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

I love Tidetool!!! It is by far my favorite application for my PDA. I also take it on my kayak trips, and I plan all my trips using it. Because I really like paddling downhill, I use tide tool to pick weekends when the currents are largest. Also, the new graphing feature in v2.0 is great, especially because it shades the hours of daylight. V2.0 is also much faster than v1, for those who still might be stuck on the old version. The upgrade is worth it because it is free :) Actually, I guess I'll have to jump on my computer soapbox for a couple of minutes... 1. Mary is right that anti-virus software is extremely important. Even more important however is to make sure your current version of Windows and Internet Explorer (if you use it) are up to date. MS has released many critical new security updates in the last couple of months, as part of their Security Revelation in February. Sayeth Bill Gates, "Oh, I had no ideal you guys actually cared about security and bug fixes". This came about as Congress was considering repealing a law that absolves software manufacturers from liability of lost $$$ due to bugs in their software. That sure made MS jump fast... So if you have windows 98SE or better, click: Start -> Windows Update Make sure you download all the "critical updates", which may require several reboots. Why is this important? Because by merely browsing to the wrong website, or receiving the wrong email (without even opening it), a hacker can gain full control of your computer and use it to send out more viruses. Kind of a big deal, IMO... :) 2. Tidetool is GNU licensed software, which makes it the coolest piece of kayaking related software ever written. GNU is the antithesis to MS's corporate greed monopoly. I shudder to think what the software world would be like w/o GNU. www.gnu.org Okay, back to my IT job...

I got it for Pacific Northwest locations. It is really cool! At first adding it crashed my PDA (old Palm m100) but after I deleted the ebook I had on there everything is fine. Thanks, Mary! Now I can check the graphical representation of tidal action during boring meetings! And at more directly useful times too :-) Diane, Vancouver Island Kevin wrote: > I love Tidetool!!!
