Good news, fellow Macaroons: TC now works on the Macintosh. Yay!

Here's what you need:

You must be running the spiffy new MacOS X. This is a killer PC operating system, really the most advanced thing you're going to find anywhere under an easy-to-use and, dare we say, charming user interface. This is the only version of Mac OS which supports Java in the way that TC requires. We tested successfully on System 10.1.1.
You must use the right browser version: IE 5.1 for Mac OS X. Doesn't work with Netscape, or with earlier versions of IE. Netscape is working on it, so, knowing them, look for a release sometime in 2006.

So if you've got OS X and IE 5.1, you're rockin'. Meet you in the City!

"In 1455, Gutenberg invented the printing press -- but not the book as we know it. Books printed before 1501 are called incunabula; the word is derived from the Latin for swaddling clothes and is used to indicate that these books are the work of a technology still in its infancy. It took fifty years of experimentation and more to establish such conventions as legible typefaces and proof sheet corrections; page numbering and paragraphing; and title pages, prefaces, and chapter divisions, which together made the published book a coherent means of communication. The garish videogames and tangled Web sites of the current digital environment are part of a similar period of technical evolution, part of a similar struggle for the conventions of coherent communication.

Now, in the incunabular days of the narrative computer, we can see how twentieth-century novels, films and plays have been steadily pushing against the boundaries of linear storytelling."
— Janet H. Murray, Hamlet on the Holodeck: The Future of Narrative in Cyberspace (info)
