[senit] BBC jam website and Crick USB Switch box

-----Original Message-----

[Commercial Interest Declared]

The Mac version of USB Keys was updated a month or so ago and this fixes
the problem using USB Keys with the switch activities on the BBC Jam
site. If you're a Mac user with a Crick USB Switch box you can download
a free update from our web site:

The problem David mentions didn't affect the Windows version of USB
Keys.
