MegabyteTW on CDROM downloads
I have uploaded a zip file containing the files required to make a copy of MegabyteTW running on CDROM. You can download from here (it is ~9MB):
http://rss.openomy.com/download/get/1254
or use the link to the right (megabyteTW20060810.zip).
The file is also available at http://www.box.net/public/077rvqesry if you have trouble downloading from openomy; you will have to sign in to box.net, but this is an interesting service anyway and well worth a visit.
Just unzip the archive to a temporary directory (preserve path information), and write the files to the root directory of your CDR - autorun.inf has to be there or it won't work.
You can also try this out without burning a CDR by running startmobilefirefox.exe from the temporary directory.
You should see a splash screen then MegabyteTW launches full screen - you can toggle between this view and a normal window using F11.
This all works for me on the systems I've been able to try this on, but I'd appreciate feedback about how it works for you.

Megabyte Online
There is a rough concept version of Megabyte in TiddlyWiki at http://tiddlyspot.com/megabyte - if you have a modern browser (Internet Explorer 6 or newer, Firefox, Opera etc) and javascript enabled, have a look. I'd appreciate any feedback you can offer. Be aware that this web page is large, so you'll need to be patient if you are on dialup, however once the page has loaded navigation is extremely fast. You can save the page locally to your hard drive if you wish (use this link http://tiddlyspot.com/?action=download&site=megabyte) to avoid the delay next time you access it - since the page is self contained, it makes absolutely no difference whether you access the page locally or on the web server.
You can explore the document's features, in particular be sure to try the search and browsing by tags. You might also be interested in editing - just create a new tiddler or double click on any existing article to edit it. Articles for 2003 and 2006 have been added, with some articles for 1991 and 2004 partially added at this stage. If you'd like to help with adding content, let me know.

Megabyte PDFs
As an experiment, the last three Megabyte issues are available as pdf files, by clicking on the links in the right hand column of this weblog.
These links will automatically update themselves as new issues of Megabyte are put onto the server at Openomy, but will only show the lastest three issues. We can arrange for the full backlog of isssues to be made available if people particularly want this, and they can be automatically updated on another page on this weblog.
For those that are interested, this is all done by the use of RSS - Openomy is a new, experimental service that offers 1GB of free online storage, with an open API designed so that others can write applications to manage and view the files stored there. The system allows people to apply tags to files they store there. One of the first applications written gives the ability to pull out files as an RSS feed, which then populates the list you see on the right.
Comments and questions or suggestions welcome.
