Kai's Photo Soap 2
Posted by: Morrick on 2009-02-23 15:17:13
Hi folks!

I'm doing some research on the software production of MetaCreations Corp. (ex MetaTools) and its innovative user interface. I already own Bryce, Painter, KPT Tools (regularly paid or old versions obtained when they were released free, such as Bryce 4) but I can't seem to find Kai's Photo Soap 2. I have read on the Wikipedia that

Kai's Power Show, Kai's Photo Soap and Kai's Power Goo are now property of Nuance Communications. They have been discontinued.
Do any of you have this software? Could you upload it somewhere, making it temporarily available? I've read that once it was sold in bundle with the G3 iMacs, so maybe you have it around.

Thanks in advance!

Rick

I just went through iMac/G3 Install CDs from OS 8.5, 9.0 (two flavours), 9.0.3 (sic) and 9.0.4 without seeing nor hide nor hair of the software that you seek. Then I went to the wallet for iMac OS 8.5. There 'twas, with PageMill 3.0, Good Cooking, Shiny Entertainment and the Apple Restore CD, but it makes no mention of v.2, nor of Photo Goo and Power Show. Just plain vanilla Kai's Photo Soap, 299MB on an HFS Standard CD.

Any use? If so, as CD, email attachment, upload to a site of your choice, or thought-transference?

The latter would be optimal, but I think we're being too ahead of the times, heh heh. Could you upload those 299MB somewhere, please? Site-wise, what's ok for you will surely be ok for me. Thanks in advance for your time!

Cheers,

Rick

Let machut be your friend. The software has been uploaded, but the site's webmaster will be your best guide hereafter.
