  1. Re:Panic on Mars Attacked, 65 Years Ago Today · · Score: 1

    If I'm not mistaken, something similar to Welles' radio broadcast of "WOTW" occurred in South America in either the late 40s or 50s. Same sort of response. A good number of folks believed the broadcasts and started panicking, etc.

  2. Re:What is it good for? on Teach Yourself AppleScript in 24 Hours · · Score: 1

    Hi,
    Well, for starters, you can automate any repetitive task or workflow in programs that support AppleScript (for example, PhotoShop, Illustrator, BBEdit, FileMaker Pro, Quark, etc.), have said apps interact with one another passing information back and forth, etc. AppleScript is pretty much a prime reason why the publishing industry is so fond of it. Instant automated workflow routines with a click of a button. Also, in relation to speech recognition, you can use Applescript to automate gobs 'o stuff on your Mac by simply placing completed applets inside your speakable items folder. AS is a hidden gem.
