Circus Ponies—a company, not actual circus ponies—has released a version of its Mac OS X note-taking app, NoteBook, for the iPad. NoteBook is a powerful note-taking tool that includes a full-featured outliner with multi-font text, and lets you add files, diagrams, and sketches to your notes.
NoteBook features an interface that mimics the appearance of a real, paper notebook. You can flip through pages of your notes and organize them into sections and subsections, much like you would with a real notebook. You can take simple, “quick text” notes, or make more detailed notes using the app’s full-featured outliner, which lets you create and manage hierarchical lists with sub-items.
On paper, you might write something in large letters or in different color ink to make it stand out more. NoteBook achieves a similar effect by supporting multiple fonts, styles, and colors—a feature that Circus Ponies claims helps us retain and recall information better.
Another key feature of NoteBook is its ability to add attachments to your notes. If your notes refer to a spreadsheet of calculations or a schematic in a PDF, you can attach the relevant documents directly to your notes, making them easy to retrieve.
If you’re taking notes on a speech or lecture, you can activate NoteBook’s voice annotation feature, which records the person speaking while you take your notes. When you review your notes, you can tap a speaker icon to listen to the point in the recording where you began taking a particular note.

You can also add diagrams, flow charts, and sketches to your notes, using NoteBook’s pre-built collection of shapes and line styles, or by just sketching with your finger. When adding a PDF to your notes, you can select an annotation option that will add the PDF’s pages directly NoteBook, letting you add text notes, diagrams, and circle and highlight important points.
NoteBook costs $30 and runs on iOS 3.2 or later.

McKenzie & Co. is a full-motion videoCD-ROMdating sim game released by Her Interactive in 1995,[1] designed to be played by girls. It was available for Windows 3.1, Windows 95 and Mac OS.[2] A 3DO Interactive Multiplayer version was planned but never released.[3][4] 'McKenzie' is the name of the protagonist's Geo Tracker—an acronym of Marvelous, Cool, Kinetic movement, Ever-lasting friendship, Non-conformist, Zany, Ingenious, and Empowered.
Development[edit]
The game was developed with the active involvement of the Albuquerque Independent School District. Through the district, American Laser Games' vice-president of marketing Patricia Flannigan distributed surveys, conducted interviews, and held play study groups in order to design a game that her daughters would play.[5]
The game included a music CD featuring several bands from New Mexico, such as Poet, Cool Notes, Tee Green from the UK, and the Strawberry Zots, whose music video 'And You' was also included. Music tracks from composer Jean Rene De Rascon were also included.
Gameplay[edit]
The plot revolves around being a high school junior and trying to find a date for the prom. At the beginning of the game, the player chooses between being one of two playable characters. Kim is a cheerleader and Carly is an actress. The opening scene is in the character's bedroom, where all six members of McKenzie & Co are having a sleepover. They look through the yearbook and then ask the player to choose between two guys. For Kim, the choice is between Brett and Steven, while Carly chooses between Derrick and Brandon. The rest of the game is spent trying to get the designated love interest to ask the player character to the prom.
Both characters have their own rooms in the game where they can read magazines, read their diaries, listen to voice messages, call people, apply makeup, or put on clothes.

When they are away from their rooms, the rest of the gameplay is through short video clips. The player must choose an option of what to do or say at the given time, and the videos will show the outcome. Some choices will lead to the same eventual path as others, and some choices will result in a game over.
At the end of the game, if all goes well, the player's date will pick them up and the gameplay will finish with the school yearbook, where the player can see a picture of the player character and their date at prom.
Locations[edit]
There are 16 different locations accessible in this game, all within Bay City. There are four separate areas of town, each with four unique locations. Most locations are only accessible at certain points in the game.

Reaction[edit]
Although major publishers declined to distribute the title, because they didn't believe there was a market for girl-oriented games, the 5-CD game was successful.[5] It sold 40,000 units by early 1998,[6] and over 80,000 copies in its lifetime.[5] An expansion pack, McKenzie & Co: More Friends, featured new male characters James and Aaron. The expansion pack included 3 CDs - an upgrade of the main game and a disc for each new character.[7]
McKenzie & Co. received a lot of press attention for being one of the few girl-oriented games developed in the United States. Her Interactive was one of the first companies in the United States established to specifically develop games for the female market.[citation needed]
While some[8] think of McKenzie & Co. as an Otome game, a popular category in Japanese markets, it was called a 'social adventure' by its creators and classified as such in the majority of US retail outlets.[citation needed]
While American Laser Games, the company that founded Her Interactive, claimed feminist motivations, aspiring to help lead girls down the path of computers and technology, the game was not uniformly well received. Some expressed concerns that it pushed a stereotype of what teenage girls are like,[2] with its emphasis on makeup, shopping, and dating.[9]The Chicago Tribune called the game's objective, getting a prom date, 'rather dubious'.[10]Salon characterized the game as 'much-reviled' in 1999.[11]
