Kevin Wells has released an update to his application for looking up information about MAC addresses – the unique identifiers assigned to network interfaces. The new version of MACadd can be downloaded from his website, and fixes a silly typo (the word Company was incorrectly spelt).
The application uses Wget to retrieve the information it displays from the MAC Vendors website.
Encouraging people to be as flashy as he is when his boss isn’t around!

It also now benefits from the addition of interactive help.
In order to work, the software needs wget installed, because it looks up the necessary information from the MAC Vendors website. There is also a short demonstration video available to watch.
Well, the wider RISC OS world, anyway!
Initially available at the Wakefield Show as part of his CD software collection, proceeds from which go to a good cause, it is now possible to download Steve Fryatt’s, erm, application launcher application, Launcher! The software can be downloaded either from Steve’s own website, or via !Store.
