Blazing Dawn Software products are
undergoing "renovations." The old favorites will be replaced with new,
more modern versions as time goes on. Up next is our
popular educational title, Creepin' Critter Math.
Some people think
that it would be too expensive to do something about global warming
until we are 110% sure that the warming is being caused by human
activity. I think that the balance of risks is too great to wait that
long, and I have summed it up in two lines:
Doing something risks money
Doing nothing risks the planet
Think that says it
all, then get the word out! Add it to your e-mail sig, your blog and
letters to the editor of your local newspaper. If you would like a
bumper
sticker with the slogan, you can buy one at Zazzle.com.

Family-izerTM Web
The production
verison of our new, free
application called Family-izer
is now available!
It takes a list of U.S. patents and/or published applications and
returns all of the INPADOC patent families that those
patents/applications are members of. Family-izer
is a web
application that runs in your browser. All you need to do is download
and install the free revWeb
browser plugin from Runtime
Revolution.
If you do not have the plugin installed, the demo page will provide a
link to download the plugin.

Patent GrabberTM 5.6.1 (for Mac OS X and
Windows)
Minor update to
provide better text downloading and viewing for PCT publications where
the publication language is not English.
Intel Macs: no incompatibilities have been reported for either
ChecksQuick or Patent Grabber.
Mac OS X "Snow Leopard": three
reports of no problems with Patent
Grabber. One of those users had to download and unzip a fresh
copy after upgrading to Snow Leopard because of a problem immediately
after the upgrade. Patent Grabber
worked fine after that. One report of no problems with ChecksQuick (once you upgrade to
Snow Leopard, make sure your printer drivers are up to date; see our
blog for details).
Windows 7: one report of no
problems with Patent Grabber
and one report of no problems with ChecksQuick.
