Eruption
Eruption is a HyperCard-like program that will enhance your knowledge of volcanoes. The main window has a map of the world and a column of icons along the right-hand side. Clicking the mouse on any area of the map, or on any icon will bring up a text window with more information about that item.

AppleWorks GS
Stock Tracker: StockTracker GS is a simple, easy to use AppleWorks GS™ spreadsheet that allows the user to quickly and easily keep track of their stock portfolios. Simply enter the requested information, and AppleWorks GS does the rest. For your conviencence, an “Alert Price” option has been added. This feature produces a system alert window telling you which of your stocks has reached your designated selling price. You do not have to use this feature. In fact, all you have to enter is the stock’s purchase price and present price; like I said before, AppleWorks GS takes care of the rest!

Font
Apollo: Perfect timing considering the recent Academy Awards and the Oscars that Apollo 13 took home. Although, once you look at the font, it has the personality of Remains of the Day, not Tom Hanks in space. Heavily ornamental, I’ll probably use this mainly as initial caps. In large enough point sizes it will be fine for body text as well. See what you think. Apollo is brought to you in TrueType and Bitmap format.

Spencer’s Corner
Old Couple The joys of staying at home can be overblown, as this month’s Spencer’s Corner graphic is meant to depict.
