LaCie Silverlining Pro 6.1 has been announced. It has support for USB devices. It "is compatible with all Macintosh models except Mac Plus, Mac OS 7.5.3 or higher, including OS 8.5.1 and 8.6 and includes full HFS (Extended Mac OS) support." (Thanks, Bob Penman.) [Note: Paul Monfils recently received a copy of Silverlining Pro 6.1.1.b3 from LaCie.]
Update: Peter Fine notes that "Silverlining Pro 6.1 is shipping and already included in new products. I received a copy with a new LaCie Hard drive this past week."

NetControl 1.0.2 is a "small application that permits you to manage your Remote Access, TCP/IP, Modem and AppleTalk configurations from one simple window. It also features "sets" which allow you to save configuration settings - you can use these sets to modify the settings in all of your networking control panels with only one double click."

OpenUsing 1.3 is the latest update for this Control Strip module to open files using an application other than the file's creator.
