supplied for single and 4x 35mm, 6x9cm (120 size), and 4x5 inch. Mounted slides can bejust laid on the glass.The film holders are somewhat flimsy, and not too convenient to use, so you would certainlynot want to use them intensively, but the results are easily worth the effort. You will also needto take care not to damage the negatives when feeding them into the holders. The clumsinessof the negative holder makes it quite impractical for anything other than occasional use.It’s hard to form an objective conclusion about this scanner. If you judge it solely on thehardware, then its performance is quite stunning, and it represents astonishing value formoney. It would certainly warrant a rating of Excellent. However, the product is significantlydiminished by its poor software and filmstrip holder. If you are not annoyed by the software,or you can avoid using it, then it would be hard to find a more versatile and useful scanner inthis price range. If you only need to scan small numbers of negatives to modest magnifications,then the transparency adaptor is a good choice. If Epson were to rewrite the softwareproperly, the Epson Perfection 1200 Photo scanner could be a top-notch product, but in itspresent form, I can only rate it Good.Copyright ©2000 Alan Taylor, taylor.alan@tesco.net.

Stuff: iControl 1.0.1About ThisStuffBY ERIC BLAIR, EBLAIR@ATPM.COMiControl 1.0.1Company: The IconfactoryWeb: http://www.iconfactory.comPrice: $19.95Requirements: Power Macintosh with OS 8.5 or greaterIn my mind, one of the coolest things about the Mac OS is the ability to simply customizeyour icons. After finding the perfect icon, a few clicks 1 would have it pasted on to a folder. Ofcourse, you would eventually want all of your folders to look this nice. But even if youchanged every folder on your hard drive, any new one you created would have the defaultfolder icon. If you really wanted to, you could play around with the System File in ResEdit,but that’s not really for the faint of heart. Furthermore, with the advent of 32-bit icons, you’dalso need to edit the System Resources File to change the default 32-bit icons. Throw in thefact that this is the only way to change certain icons, like the Trash, and you can see howthings might get a bit messy.In an effort to avoid the mess, The Iconfactory created iControl, which makes changingalmost every icon in your system as simple as a few clicks. When you launch the application,you’re presented with a window that contains three buttons and a list of 74 icons showing theoriginal system icon and the current icon. The three buttons are: Restore Icon, which resetsthe selected icon to its default; Open Pack, which launches IconDragger (more on that later);and a button that links you to The Iconfactory’s homepage. Normally, I’m not a huge fan ofan application having a link to its homepage in the main portion of the interface, but iniControl’s case it makes sense, because it gives you direct access to new iPacks that are available.1. http://www.atpm.com/6.04/guijunkie.shtmlATPM 6.04 ← 87 →Stuff: iControl 1.0.1
