YAV Software: Legacy Programs for Pre-OSX
YAV.com
used to develop a good deal of Macintosh software.
Unfortunately, because of projects like
FictionFixer, we
have stopped updating many of our commercial
programs: Email Magician, MetaTag Manager,
CyberMozart, PushBtnBach, Spike, and others.
Nonetheless, you can still run most of these in
Classic mode, and, if you happen to still be
running a Pre-OSX Macintosh, you will find this
to be a valuable resource. We have moved the
shareware area to YAV.yav.com (notice the degree
of separation indicated by the double-YAV).

Countdown: The First Opera on the Internet
Christopher Yavelow's
award-winning opera Countdown
was the
first opera available on the Internet and it was
given a good deal of coverage by MSNBC upon its
launch in 1994. The website has remained unchanged
since then. The only difference is that the
original site divided the opera into 16 short
segments, each less than 2 minutes, to accommodate
the slower transfer rates of telecommunications
systems of the 1990's. In 2004, for the ten-year
anniversary of the appearance of
Countdown
in
cyberspace, those files were pasted together into
one large streaming MP3 file (about 25 minutes in
length). The sample rate has been raised to
increase the fidelity. The performance is by the
Boston Lyric Opera Company. Click the thumbnail to
learn more and hear the opera.
