If Monks Updated
If Monks Had Macs Version 5.01 Released
New edition of the Monks 24 volume library includes a new game and a new tool.
"Legendary
... almost defies description" was MacUser magazine's appraisal of the
original 1988 If Monks had Macs. The 2005 edition of the Monks CD-ROM
is a much heartier stew of interactive books, games, art and music that
works with the latest Macintosh and Windows operating systems. New
explorations in digital photography and film take the artist's passion
for art and ideas out of the library and into the streets. If Monks had
Macs is available for purchase from rivertext.com for $29.
Monk's provocative text is beautifully illustrated, quick and deep. The
volume on The White Rose resistance to the Nazis features the photos
and memoirs of one of their surviving members, the music of Beethoven,
Schubert and Bach, art of the German Expressionists and a new focus on
the relationship between art and resistance.
The new edition of the Monks 24 volume library includes a new game and
a new tool. The newest game, Killing Time, is contemplative solitaire
for monks. Now everyone can practice "safe-solitaire." The new version
of the unique Monks "threaded" journal is a tool for exploring your
inner world. Sophie, the new e-book reader, is a tool for exploring the
outside world.
The new Mac OS 10.3 compatible version 1.02 of the Sophie e-book reader
is available as a free download. It comes with ten free ebooks that
range from Thoreau's Walden to a brand new edition of H.G. Wells
science fiction classic The War of the Worlds. If Monks had Macs
version 5.01 works on Mac OS 9, Mac OS X and Windows 95 through XP.
