This place is like the set from any sci-fi movie... Super Cool, no expense spared, as you may imagine. This is where IBM does all the design, research and development for Interactive Media, as well as DVD. The main room used to be a large cafeteria, and is circular, kinda like a huge alien spaceship if you will.... The entire perimeter is work stations, with columns of additional workstations in the middle. Probably about 100 workstations altogether. Here's the cool part: About 95% of the computers at the IBM Center were MACS!!!!!!! I'm NOT kidding. ________________ Do you believe in Macintosh?

For the past several years he hasn't been saying much (good or bad) about Apple. However, in the June 1997 issue, he talks about porting his wife's reading tutor program to Win 95. I thought the Evangelistas might be interested in some of his comments about Mac versus Win 95. He says that moving the program to Win 95 is harder than it sounds, mostly because "unlike Macs, Windows systems don't have acceptable text-to-speech programs. Macs come with a speech synthesizer that's spectacularly better than anything you can get for Windows." Then he reports that, due to the lack of speech synthesis, the Windows version must use prerecorded sounds - over 1000 words, plus sentences and blends. He choose to make each a separate WAV file. As a result, the Win 95 version will ship on a CD and requires Win 95 with a CD-ROM and SoundBlaster card. In contrast, the Mac version is on floppies and runs on low-end computers. This is important because the program is intended for schools, especially poor ones that can't afford a lot of teaching assistants. They tried several of the stock Mac voices and found that "Agnes" was the most effective, providing an average 1.5 _year_ improvement in reading skills after only 3 _months_ use. ________________ Do you believe in Macintosh?

ACI US ships 4D Server Version 6 The "zero admin" data and application server JUNE 6, 1997 CUPERTINO, CA. Today, ACI US ships 4D Server Version 6, the newest upgrade to the outstanding 4D product line. 4D Server is the cross-platform data and application server for 4th Dimension (4D). Any 4D application created for Windows 95, Windows NT, Macintosh, or Power Macintosh easily scales to a workgroup client/server solution using 4D Server. 4D Server provides a fully integrated architecture in which both client and server use a single 4D application. 4D Server frees developers from the need to design separate front-end applications. 4D Server fills the gap between low-end file-sharing-based systems and complex SQL-based RDBMS systems. Any 4D Server application smoothly interfaces with existing enterprise databases (ORACLE, Sybase, or any ODBC-compatible server) with 4D Connectivity Plug-ins. The 4D Server multi-threaded architecture delivers a wide range of integrated features and services such as triggers, stored procedures, a Web server, a data server, and a network protocol manager, and also functions as a transparent multi-tiered development server. 4D Server is the superior solution for designing, developing, and deploying within a workgroup, Internet, or intranet environment. States ACI US company president and founder, Marylene Delbourg-Delphis, "4D Server benefits from the user-focused heritage of 4D. As a result, 4D Server is a complete plug-and-play (PNP) system." In addition, "4D Server is designed to support an integrated client/server model with the requirement that no additional computerization cost should occur when companies or departments move from personal or interpersonal desktop computing (file sharing) to workgroup computing." 4D Server permits sophisticated application partitioning and scaling. Thanks to its multi-process management at both server and client levels, its multi-process stored procedures, and its interprocess management system, it enable IS managers to continuously monitor their database application. With all the phenomenal 4th Dimension Version 6 features, 4D Server is an ideal solution for a workgroup and business environment at a remarkable cost. The estimated street price for 4D Server V6 is $699, and it includes two user licenses and five Internet connections. About ACI US ACI US, Inc. was founded in 1987 as the US publisher of 4th Dimension and the 4D product line which has set the relational database standard for ten years. In 1995, ACI extended 4th Dimension technology to the Windows platform..

She works in the Microsoft NT group and she sent it out to the people on her alias. A group I might mention that is full of people that can crack into an NT server with ease, or if they are only feeling jovial, make the server blue screen (essentially crash and lock up). The only response she got back was, 'We can't crack this, it is a Mac server!" Which I believe is the whole point. Have a lovely day.

SCITEX RIPRO PRODUCT LINE TO SUPPORT ASANTE NETDOUBLER(tm) New feature will boost Mac to Ripro Server communication DUSSELDORF, Germany, June 3, 1997 - Scitex Corporation Ltd. (NASDAQ: SCIXF) and Asante Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASNT) today announced that the Scitex Ripro Server(tm) and Scitex Ripro Archiver(tm) product line will support Asante's network acceleration utility NetDoubler (using Helios EtherShare). The new software option, installed on Scitex Ripro Server and Scitex Ripro Archiver systems, will be on display at the Imprinta Expo this week in Dusseldorf, June 4-10, and is set for release in July 1997. Demonstrations are available at the Scitex booth (Hall 3 Stand 3A48). Also at Imprinta, Asante's Fast Ethernet adapters and NetDoubler client software will be installed on all Macintosh workstations at the Scitex booth. NetDoubler acceleration software increases productivity by making the file access and copy process much more efficient. It increases communication speed by up to five times between a Macintosh client and the server, sharply reducing waiting time during file transfer and utilizing significantly fewer CPU resources. This enables more users to simultaneously access data faster and allows the server to perform other tasks in the background, increasing overall efficiency. The NetDoubler software option is suitable for Scitex Ripro Server and Scitex Ripro Archiver data management systems working with Macintosh clients. Available as an optional add-on for the current version 2.0 of the Scitex Ripro Server and Scitex Ripro Archiver systems, it will be included in all new sales and will be bundled with future versions. Scitex will provide NetDoubler server support on Scitex Ripro systems and Asante will provide NetDoubler support on Macintosh computer clients. "NetDoubler is a remarkably powerful network acceleration utility and therefore is an excellent addition to the Scitex Ripro Server and Scitex Archiver data management systems," said Edna Shahar, general manager, Workflow Integration Solutions Divison. "NetDoubler support will enhance the Scitex Ripro workflow and productivity to such a high degree that the system will wait for users, rather than the other way around." Added Paul Smith, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Asante: "The data intensive nature of prepress production, together with the already powerful file server and data management capabilities of the Scitex Ripro line, means Scitex customers will realize maximum benefit from the acceleration rates that NetDoubler provides. They will see a substantial improvement in the performance of their systems." Asante provides a NetDoubler client version, which has been tuned for the Scitex Ripro product line (the adjusted feature is integrated in NetDoubler versions 1.3. and up). The NetDoubler client software is bundled free with all Asante Fast Ethernet network adapters for the Macintosh computers. Customers can upgrade to Asante's Fast Ethernet adapters bundled with NetDoubler for Macintosh computers involved with creating, manipulating and transferring large digital images. The recommended configuration is a Scitex Ripro Server and/or Scitex Ripro Archiver connected to a Scitex-recommended switch, which is then connected to Macintosh computer clients with Asante's Fast Ethernet Adapters. The powerful Scitex Ripro Server is the leading file and application server for the graphic arts industry. Based on the IBM RS/6000 computer with a UNIX/AIX operating system, the Scitex server allows several client stations to share files through the server, using common communication protocols and networks that link clients and server, and facilitate interaction between them. NetDoubler is a cost-effective, easy-to-use network acceleration utility that makes copying, opening, and saving of large files two to nine times faster over 10 Mbps Ethernet, 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet and FDDI networks. NetDoubler is an ideal solution for prepress, graphics and desktop publishing shops, as well as departmental graphics and desktop publishing organizations. (The added value for NetDoubler acceleration is lower when clients manipulate small, rather than large, files over the network). About WIS (Workflow Integration Solutions division at Scitex) The Workflow Integration Solutions division of Scitex Corporation Ltd. develops data management solutions and automated server/archiving systems for managing prepress and printing sites, image banks, and similar data-intensive operations, as well as standard data communications, and workstations.

For example, to add a grave accent to the second a in the Italian word, fantastico, you need to use &#96; before and after the letter, as in fant&#96;a&#96;stico. Since HTML will read text contained within the greater than/less than characters, you need to fool HTML by substituting less than with &lt; and greater than with &gt;, as in &lt;TITLE&gt; You can also use numerical entities for < >, as in &#60; TITLE&#62; You can find information on character entities in most HTML textbooks.

But there are ways to work around most problems. One way to adjust the position of table cells, blocks of text, and other images is by inserting a transparent, single-pixel GIF image strategically and setting both the HEIGHT and WIDTH attributes.

TidBITS#384/16-Jun-97 ===================== Just when you think you know someone, they do something unexpected. In this issue, Adam writes about buying a PC, fighting Windows 95, and integrating them into his Mac network in order to work on his new book. Also, Tonya begins a multi-part feature about Web publishing software: this week, she surveys the field and takes a close look at PageSpinner. We also note the shipping of Virtual PC and a new version of WebCollage.

­=- Moraćeš da obaviš test nakonflikte pomoću Conflict Catchera, nema ti drugog rešenja. Ima, ima... :) Zove se MacOS 7.6 :) Noćas sam ga instalirao, i radi... Jako lepo. Ajd' kad sam ro pomenuo, da dodam par stvari. Kao prvo, iako Apple 'preti' da postoji opasnost ako ne update-ujete HD driver, pretnje su suvišne. U principu, ako nije bilo problema sa 7.5.5, neće ni sada. Ja lično imam driver iz HDT 2.0.1. Dalje, Apple savetuje da se sistem podigne sa CD-a na kome je 7.6. Na prvi pogled deluje nelogično, a na drugi - takođe! :)) Dakle, nisam to uradio i nisam imao nikakvih problema, kao što je i za očekivati. Instalacija je laka, postoji objašnjenje čemu služi svaka extenzija ponaosob (isto važi i za Control Panele) tako da je (po prvi put) sasvim lako zaključiti šta vam treba, a šta ne. Kao glavnu prednost novog OS-a Apple navodi pouzdanost, stabilnost i ubrzanje na nekim delovima (start sam već primetio). Mogu da preporučim svim vlasnicima 030 Mac-a i jačih da ovo obacezno instaliraju! p.s. Apple mi ništa ne plaća za reklamu :( ;)

*Price Cuts from Apple and Power Computing* As you plan your summer vacation, Apple and Power Computing are both hoping you'll put something aside for a computer purchase as well. Apple's current lines of midrange and high-end Power Macs, which were introduced and shipped this past spring, are all sporting lower price tags, with cuts ranging from $200 to $500. Breaking the $2000 price barrier, Power Computing has cut the price of its midrange PowerCenter Pro 180 from $2095 to $1995. The price of the PowerCenter Pro 180 Complete System, which includes 32MB of RAM, a 15-inch monitor, and an external Global Village 33.6-Kbps fax modem, has also dropped, from $2695 to $2495. In addition, the company is offering $100 rebates on its entry-level PowerBase line, the PowerBase 240 and the 200, bringing the 240 to $1499 and the 200 to $1299. <http://www.macworld.com/daily/daily.1384.html>

Upozorenje se ne odnosi na ne-Apple drajvere, tj. ukoliko disk ima Appleov drajver treba ga uvek updateovati pre instalacije nove verzije sistemskog softvera. Takođe, treba se dobro informisati pre upgradea da slučajno ne postoji nova verzija drajvera kojeg koristite i ako postoji onda sačekati sa upgradeom sistema dok se ista ne nabavi. Problem ne mora odmah da se ispolji, može se desiti da se nova verzija sistema koristi i nekoliko nedelja dok drajver ne napravi zvrčku na disku. A onda je kasno za popravke, ako se ne poseduje bekap, a ko još danas pravi bekap?.

I na kraju, za one koji se možda 'plaše', da kažem da Kaleidoscope ne 'čačka' ništa u samom sistemu, tako da je deinstalacija potpuna prostim uklanjanjem Control Panela. Btw, uz ovo možete menjati i sistemski font, tako da Chicago više nije obavezan, a to olakšava nekome i posao oko sistemskih yu slova. Dakle, dodatne šeme za kaleidoscope 1.6. kal_seme.sit

Date: Wed, 11 Jun 97 17:22:38 -0700 From: Guy Kawasaki <gkawasaki@macway.com> Subject: FG--Macintosh vs. Windows in the Real World Message-ID: <199706120022.RAA17482@dnai.com> Keyword: Advocacy, Why Macs Are Better, Keyword: Advocacy, Windows Daymares This tidbit is from: Keith Burgoyne, <mailto:altasoft@cadvision.com> I have been in the computer marketplace developing software since 1974. In 1981 we became Apple Canada's first authorized dealer. In 1982 we became a PC dealer. In 1989 we sold the "hardware side" of the business and returned to our core business, the development of niche market software. We have no axe to grind with the WINTEL side of things. After all, our support revenue would drop by over 85% if Microsoft's O/S offerings worked as advertised. Case one -------- We support an Apple network running 80 Macs for a private college. We bill them a monthly fee of $250.00. Whenever there is a problem we arrive at their site and have it "fixed" within an hour. Last year we netted $3,000.00 as there were no calls required. Almost anything that does go wrong is taken care of by their "on-site" receptionist. That's right! Since we spent three hours giving her a network primer our calls have dropped to zero. I suspect that they will not be contracting our services next year. They also have a PC network running 75 PC's. To keep it "alive" they utilize two full time staff members. Whenever they add another Wintel box or want to change their network configuration the system is down for a day or two. So you see, WINTEL is better. If they were in an all Macintosh environment the two full time staffers would be out of work:-) Case two -------- The World Fire/Police Games (Held in Calgary Canada, June 1997) All Macintosh environment. Why? The event lasts for 10 days and the system will be operated by very human human beings, none of whom are computer gurus. They require minimum training and maximum output with no downtime. Hence - An all Macintosh solution. Our experience ============= We have a software user list that contains the worlds largest drug company and the worlds largest oil company as well as many "not Fortune 500 companies". Platform ratio: For every fifty Wintel users we have one Mac user. Last year we logged 200 support calls. Call log: Wintel users - 200 support calls. Mac users - 0 support calls. Reason customer called: Software does not work = 200 calls Result of call: In all 200 cases our software worked "as advertised". The problem was ALWAYS something to do with their Wintel O/S or network software. The Wintel rule is, "When you get it working right, for Gods sake, don't touch it". The bottom line ============== In the last twenty-three years we have supported thousands of customers using a myriad of different systems. >From a financial point of view we make far more money supporting Wintel in one year that we have made in total supporting Macintosh. Gates and company have been "doing Windows" since 1985. Thirteen years have passed since it's development and - it still does not work as advertised. We have a client who installed 110 Macintoshes six years ago. Two years ago they went to Windows for Work groups and Novell. Their total costs excluding hardware but including training, software, additional support staff and upgrade costs are now in excess of $300,000.00. Guess what? They have not got to Windows NT yet. It's interesting to note that their total costs for Macintosh, excluding hardware,was less than $75,000.00. We once taught Microsoft Word in both Windows and Macintosh environments. When the Mac students were finished the Windows users were about 40% complete. I suppose this could mean that the Mac students were smarter. Or just maybe it was that the Mac students didn't need to learn the "Wonders of Windows", just Word. As an aside, we just installed a Mac program (circa 1985) in a Mac using System 7.6.1. If this program would have been on the PC side of things we would now be at upgrade number four to get it to run. Hmm! Food for thought. Altasoft is a privately held corporation with no affiliation with Apple Computer Inc. We are in the software business and have no axe to grind with Microsoft. All our software is cross-platformed and works with any Mac O/S newer than System 7.1, Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95 and Windows NT 3.5.1 or newer. We choose to do all our software development in the Mac O/S for the following reason: Using a Mac when our software "crashes", it's us. Using Windows when our software "crashes" it's either us or it's because it's two in the morning or possibly because it's the last Tuesday in the month. We really have, in most cases, no idea why Windows won't do tomorrow what it did today. Feel free to give this missive to you friend. Finally ====== There are only three types of computer users. Those that use Macs. Those that wished they used Macs. Those that don't know any better. Having said that, most of the world runs on Windows. This has nothing to do with the O/S. It has everything to Microsoft marketing and Apple's "approach to things" ________________ Do you believe in Macintosh?

That's $195.00 Please Message-ID: <199706131856.LAA28940@scv2.apple.com> Keyword: Advocacy, Windows Daymares, Why Macs are Better This tidbit is from: Wally Glenn, <gwally@halcyon.com> Here is another reason you really might want to consider all of the costs when looking to run NT instead of the Macintosh. I am having a problem running the IIS Web Server with Windows NT Server 4.0. The people I am working for want to demonstrate their Web site using a Toshiba laptop running IIS and NT. This is despite the fact that NT has no power management and Microsoft advises you to turn off ALL power management features on the laptop because you will only regret it. Hey, a half hour for battery time isn't bad, is it? There is no use suggesting a Mac solution to these people because they are the one company that really has a vested interest in Windows. I am not mentioning names, but I think you could guess that software company. Anyway, I cannot find a solution in the non-existent documentation, so I called up the Microsoft NT support line at 1-800-936-3500. I have never called before, but that doesn't matter, because you do not get any technical support for free when you buy Microsoft NT Server. None, zero, nada, zip. The charge to have ANY questions answered by Microsoft is $195.00 per incident. No exceptions. IF you find that hard to believe, please call the number listed above and check it out for yourself. $195.00 a problem starts adding up to some serious money in a very short amount of time. Thank you Apple for having reasonable support policies. The only issues I have had to call on were all straightened out quickly and I was never charged extra, and Apple sells an additional year of warranty for most products less than the $195.00 per incident charge, and that covers hardware as well! ________________ Do you believe in Macintosh?

APPLE MACINTOSH AGAIN LEADS PC INDUSTRY IN BRAND LOYALTY CI Research Reveals Brands with Highest Repurchase Rates in 1996 LA JOLLA, Calif., June 16, 1997 -- For the third year in a row, the Apple Macintosh led the PC industry in repurchase loyalty in 1996, according to new research from Computer Intelligence (CI), the computer and communications industries' leading source of fact-based information. Following Apple in purchase loyalty rankings were Gateway 2000, Acer, Compaq, Hewlett Packard, Dell, IBM, NEC, Packard Bell and AST. The findings emerged from CI's recently released spring 1997 Consumer Technology Index (CTI), the largest and most comprehensive survey of technology ownership and usage among home, workplace and self-employed users in the United States. The repurchase rates measure what percentage of each brand's users who bought a PC in 1996 purchased the same brand of PC they previously owned. According to the CTI results, about four in five Apple Macintosh users who purchased a PC in 1996 bought another Macintosh (see table below). Top 1996 Repurchase Rates Apple Mac 81% Gateway 2000 72% Acer 69% Compaq 60% Hewlett Packard 58% Dell 58% Source: CI's Consumer Technology Index, 1997 "Apple's 'three-peat' came in a year when the company was starting to come under intense pressure," said CI Senior Industry Analyst Dave Tremblay. "Our research confirms that one of Apple's key corporate assets is the loyalty of its user base to the Macintosh. But that loyalty may be to the MacOS platform, and not necessarily to the Apple brand. It is not something Apple can take for granted. "MacOS clones started to have a substantial impact on the Mac marketplace only in the later stages of 1996, so did not have much of an effect on our loyalty figures, which measure repurchase rates for the full year. The MacOS platform is no longer a one-brand platform. Apple's reign as the loyalty champ may end in the coming years because of the success of Mac clones and because of Apples ongoing business struggles." Not surprisingly, the CTI survey found that respondents who purchased PCs for personal use generally showed lower brand loyalty than individuals who work on employer-provided PCs. In fact, Apple's Macintosh was the only brand to have a repurchase rate above 50 percent in the home market, while nine of the top 11 brands have loyalty above 50 percent in the workplace segment. The differences are due mainly to price sensitivities among home PC users, who are spending their own funds rather than company funds, and to the fact that home users do not need to go through the purchase-approval cycles present in many corporations. Relative strengths of the top brands varied among the market segments. For Dell, Compaq, Hewlett Packard and Acer, repurchase loyalty in the workplace segment was substantially higher than in the home segment. Apple Macintosh loyalty was more nearly equal across the segments, ranging not more than five points from its overall score. Although Gateway 2000 was the No. 2 brand in all segments, its repurchase loyalty was more than 20 points higher in the workplace segment than in the home or self-employed segments. CI's Consumer Technology Index study is the largest, most comprehensive research effort focusing on personal computer usage in the United States. An initial screening of 50,000 individuals identified PC users in home, workplace and self-employed markets. Final survey results are based on a detailed 12-page written questionnaire on the types and brands of equipment used in the three markets, which was mailed to 17,500 U.S. PC users. The survey also gathers extensive demographic information from respondents and ascertains their future purchase plans.

Due to a great number of user-suggestions we experienced a slight delay, - but we are happy to say that Storeys is now ready for sale - the primary segments being science, education and business (accounting, engineers etc.). New 3D-technique for those who works with layers of data: The 3rd dimension in Storeys is created by placing a block of 3-dimensional cells on top of what would appear to be a traditional spreadsheet, - and although this might seem like a minor change - if you are working with data in layers you will probably appreciate this new working method - because it saves your time, and because the interaction between the 2D and 3D area makes it possible for you to maintain overview while working in the third dimension. - No tedious linking because you are working in the same document all the time, and you can even import Excel4 workbooks into tbe block. Storeys - in short: 1. New enhanced third dimension. 2. Cut, copy and paste in the third dimension. 3. Paste Special lets you decide, whether you want text to replace contents in cells or to be written after the current contents. 4. Fill 3D is functioning the same way in the block as Fill in the 2D-area. - When filling into the block, you can choose between absolute or relative references. 5. Drag & Drop. 6. Speed? - we have not yet succeeded finding a faster spreadsheet. 7. Takes up only 1.7MB of your harddisk. 8. Memory requirements is as low as 2MB. 9. Scatter plot regression line and -equation with coefficients pasted into cells in the document. Introduction offer: Being encouraged to launch Storeys immediately, ProFunda will be offering free updates (especially import/export) and a special low price of 90$ to those who buys Storeys within the first month. Profunda wants to thank the users. Without their help we would not have gone this far. How to download, order and pay for Storeys: Information about Storeys 1.0 is to be found at: <http://isa.dknet.dk/~profunda>. We have a secure server for those who wants to use credit card. Any Questions: Plese send an e-mail to sales manager Dan Pedersen at <profunda@isa.dknet.dk> or call mr. Dan Pedersen at +45 31 194094. Check out Storeys.

The cover copy says to "expect to pay as much as five times more for this new version [of Windows NT] than the current version." Does your IT department want to be locked into a monopoly, single-source operating system -- facing a choice between paying astronomical upgrade fees or moving the entire enterprise yet again to a new operating system? Incidentally, according to information distributed at a Windows NT seminar I attended last month, Microsoft intends to charge much more for an NT Internet server that serves an intranet than for one that serves the Internet. This makes OpenStep/WebObjects is a much better bet as an Internet server platform, since its license doesn't discriminate between internal and external users. ________________ Do you believe in Macintosh?

They both have blazing fast 3400c's and they love them. How do I know? The scientist to my left chattered about how much he liked his machine to his seatmate. I asked the researcher behind me how he liked his, and he answered "It's awesome." Later, I found another 3400c and the owner, a major scientist in Great Britain, proudly told me that he received the first one in that country. He loves it. He also owns a 5300 that he actually likes a lot too. When he saw me logged in from the dedicated modem line with my 5300cs, he commented: "Nice machine." I'd personally rather have his. -- Enoch S.

Lewis, <lewisad@colorado.edu> I am a student support tech in our University computer Labs, helping other students use the internet, print papers, etc. The lab I work in is primarily Macs, although we have a few older PCs nearby (there are primarily Wintel labs as well, but I prefer not to work in those labs). I could share many Windows Daymares and Mac success stories, but I'll just share the one I got today with the Evangelist: A student came in with a PC laptop and a Word Processing file she wanted to print in our lab. The standard procedure is to copy the file onto a floppy, then print from the floppy on our PCs. PC Problem #1: Microsoft Word refused to recognize the A: drive in the "Save As:" dialog box, even though Windows would recognize it, and the "Open" dialog would recognize it. Not knowing how to correct the problem (I'm a Mac guy...) I only managed to force it to save to the A: drive by manually typing the path in the "Filename" box... PC Problem #2: Our aging PCs wouldn't read or format her floppy disk. We tried another floppy disk - no luck. We try another PC - oops, Windows isn't running, and Word only runs under Windows. Mac Solution: Drop her PC disk into the nearest Mac. Double click on her document (Wait for Microsoft Word to start up). Select Print from the File Menu. Time spent with Wintel PCs: about 20 minutes. Time spent with a Macintosh: about 2 minutes. The best part for me was the way the user started looking at the Mac as her saviour, and the Wintel PC as her problem. I have yet to witness an incident where the PC bailed the Mac out of a problem. ________________ Do you believe in Macintosh?

Every so often I have to reboot it in order to delete a file. Yes, you read that correctly. Windows NT can prevent more than application from opening a given file at the same time. While this sounds like a good idea in principle, it turns out to be very annoying in practice. Sometimes I try to delete a folder that happens to be the "current" folder in one of my shell windows, only to be frustrated by the following alert box: "Cannot remove folder MyFolder: There has been a sharing violation. The source of destination file may be in use." As if this weren't annoying enough, sometimes Windows NT doesn't clean up after itself -- it "forgets" that a file or folder is no longer in use. Even after closing all open applications, the "sharing violation" alert box persists, and I am forced to reboot the machine in order to delete something. This happened to me again just last week. As I was using a new account which I had just created, the "Tip of the Day" welcome feature was still enabled. After many unsuccessful attempts at dragging a folder to the "recycling bin", I rebooted the machine, and logged in. The welcome message which greeted me appears below. I just couldn't help but laugh. "Welcome to Windows NT Did you know... You can use long filenames when you save documents. You can even use spaces!" ________________ Do you believe in Macintosh?

I do my work on my Mac, bring a Zip disk and upload from one of their Macs to the network. The Mac that I use on site belongs to a worker who spends very little time on it. While there were some problems with it, I took care of most, but was plagued by Netscape crashes. Despite this, the Mac still was having a better time than the Windows laptop that were we transferring to. Despite the fact that this was a laptop used daily, it crashed twice as often in half the time. When a mouse was plugged in (requiring a reboot), the trackpad didn't work, and the machine was very flaky. When the mouse was disabled, it was less flaky, but still no where near acceptable. And as far as the trackpad goes, give me a PowerBook any day. As is common with Windows, the pointer lacked any precision, and it was difficult to quickly make selections, especially on the laptop's screen. If that wasn't enough, forget trying to select the right button with the same hand that you are controlling the pointer. After a couple of hours, I was getting cramps in my wrist and my elbow is still sore today. Now, remember, I am on the computer typically 6 to 9 hours a day, and I rarely have problems. Even today, after 7 hours on site (different client), I have no pain or discomfort. Of course, I spent all day on Macs. To top it off, we were checking out the web pages in Windows 95 Explorer on the laptop and saw a couple of changes needed to be made. We selected edit current page, and explorer took us to Front page to edit. The only problem, is that the page displayed in the editor was NOT the page we were browsing. After several tries, and attempting to open the pages manually, I had to make the changes on the Mac and upload them to the network. We even rebooted the Windows system with little success. Now, I had had some experience with file management on Windows 95, but never to the degree that this project required. It was a nightmare, and neither the client nor I could find some of the files that we know were put on the HD. We ended up putting multiple copies on the HD in different places to ensure that the link (set up by someone else) and our links would still work. The next time someone tells you that Windows 95 is better, LAUGH ! The next tiem someone tells you Windows 95 is as good, LAUGH ! The next time someone says that Windows 95 is even close to being as easy as a Mac, let out a good long, loud laugh. Every Mac user needs a Windows experience to remind them just what a great system the Mac is. It may not be perfect, but it's better than the alternatives. BTW Although the Mac I used did crash, my personal system hasn't crashed in months (except during some beta testing) This system runs a multitude of extensions, and is constantly running at least 5 programs. ________________ Do you believe in Macintosh?

The commercial closes with the Microsoft slogan "Where do you want to go today?" and a final, furious blast of music. It's a very cool effect. But if you dig a little deeper... As it turns out, the background music is the Dies Irae of Mozart's Requiem Mass. And the words of the final blast of music which accompanies "Where do you want to go today?" are actually "confutatis maledictis, flammis acribus addictis..." In English: "When the damned are confounded, and consigned to sharp flames..."; which describes exactly where I want to go today. Unfortunately, while Explorer will take you to hell for free, the upgrade to purgatory is pretty steep. __________________________ Digital Guy Sez: I held off on posting this for awhile to see if Microsoft would catch on.

Needless to say, I turned quite a few heads using it in Aspen during the 1997 Aspen Open Paragliding Competition. The last day of the event, the PowerBook was called to task to save the day (and coincidently the life of the meet director, Jan Stenstadvold). When the competing pilots were informed by Jan that there would be NO AWARDS ceremony, no trophies, no plaques, no worthless giveaway trinkets and no peer recognition for the meet, that all they were entitled to were the point scorings and the respect of their peers. Of course there were plenty of harsh words hurled in his direction at this news. Never mind that these guys had risked each others' lives together in the skies over Aspen for the previous five days. Never mind that the American WORLD CUP TEAM had competed and flown well against all comers, including the famously reckless Swiss. Never mind that Todd Bibler, the most respected name in Paragliding had won his FIRST ever paragliding competition. These guys were ready to demonstrate their displeasure with physical violence if necessary. Edel team leader Greg Smith managed to catch Jan on his way out of town and persuade him to get his sunburned Norwegian aspen right over to the nearest liquor store and purchase several bottles of expensive champagne and beer for these guys. Greg then took me aside and asked what I could do to help. Here's where I got to demonstrate the "POWER" in Power Macintosh. With all the national team pilots, the shop owners, the club members standing in a circle around me, I whipped out the almighty PowerBook and put together certificates for each of the top five winners. I customized each with their total points scored for the meet, and a personalized note for each pilot (including Josh Cohn; fourth place and only non-Edel pilot in the top five). And then, right before their very eyes, I plugged the trusty PowerBook directly into the shop's venerable workhorse LaserWriter and proceeded to PRINT every page! Wow! You'd think these guys had never seen anything so magic before! First came the warnings: "Shouldn't you check to make sure that notebook has a networking card in it??" "what about the driver software? Hadn't you better see if they have a disk with the printer drivers on it?" Then the cautions, "You'd better turn everything off first and 're-boot'" and "it's after five, everything's closed, where are you going to get the right cable for that thing?" Finally the disbelieving wonder of understanding: "Wow! You just did in five seconds what it would have taken me an entire afternoon to do!" "How did you DO that?" "you mean you just plug it in and it WORKS?" In minutes we had complete, professional-looking, personalized certificates for each of the top-five competitors. The awards presentation went well, many happy words were exchanged, good feelings and congratulations were shared among everyone there. Thanks to Apple and the incredible PowerBook 3400c! Later on, Greg Smith, the Edel US importer took me aside, patted my back, shook my hand and told me "man, you are a Prince! You don't know what you've just done for the team and the competition (and Jan). You've saved the day for me. Way to go!" "I'm going to have to look into getting one of those things. Our computer in our main office can't even come close to doing anywhere NEAR all the stuff you just did..." Once again, Macintosh saved the day. If there's ever anything that I can do to help Apple or promote the Apple "way" please don't hesitate to let me know Sincerely, Tim Meehan 21stCentury Graphics P-4 Advanced Paraglider Pilot <meehan@csd.net> member of Apple Solution Professionals Network ________________ Do you believe in Macintosh?

I have a network in my home office of Power PC and Intel based machines. The Intel machines run Linux and Windows 95. The Power PC is a Macintosh (of course!) 7500/132 running OS 7.6 . All machines are left running for days on end. The Mac 7500 is always on, because it handles my voice mail and faxes via the Geoport modem (one of the slickest Apple products I have ever used!). Recently I was away from home, and had left all of my machines powered on. During one of Colorado's usual afternoon thunderstorms, the power went off and on several times. Here were the effects of this power cycling: The Win 95 machine: Dead. Wouldn't boot up. Hard disk wiped out. Norton Utilities didn't even recognize the disk. The Linux box: Wouldn't boot up. Got it to come up in single user mode, and was able to repair the affected disk with fsck. Everything OK. The Mac: Was fine! It shut down when the power went off, and automatically powered itself back up the next morning! I ran Norton Utilities when I got back, and everything was normal, not a single disk error. Fortunately I had backups for all of my machines, including the Win95 box, so I was able to put things right in a few hours. Along with backups, I should spend the money for some UPS boxes to prevent the problems above. Once again, the Mac proved to be a better machine. ________________ Do you believe in Macintosh?

PRETTY GOOD PRIVACY RELEASES FIRST IN NEXT GENERATION OF EASY-TO-USE ENCRYPTION PRODUCTS SAN MATEO, Calif. June 16, 1997 -- Pretty Good Privacy, Inc., the world leader in digital privacy and security software, today released PGP for Personal Privacy, Version 5.0, the first member of the company's next generation of multi-platform, easy-to-use encryption products for individuals and small businesses. PGP for Personal Privacy, Version 5.0, available today for sale via download from the Pretty Good Privacy website, gives people complete confidence that their email messages and files can be safeguarded by the strongest commercial cryptography available. PGP for Personal Privacy, Version 5.0 is an inexpensive software program, built on a new code base, which makes encrypting and digitally signing email and files as easy as a single click of a mouse. Now, for the first time, users can quickly and easily protect legal documents, medical records, insurance files, intellectual property... whether they use the Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0 or Macintosh platforms. It is the genesis of a new line of encryption products that feature a dramatically enhanced graphical user interface, making encryption more accessible than ever before for novice through expert computer users. In addition to the unique graphical user interface, there are a host of new features (including multiple message cryptography, selective text cryptography and algorithm choice) which turn the once difficult operation of protecting email and documents into a very simple act. The principal functions of PGP for Personal Privacy, Version 5.0 can be operated from within the toolbar of five of the world's most popular email programs: Eudora Pro, Eudora Light, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Outlook and Claris Emailer. The millions of users of these email programs can rapidly encrypt and digitally sign their email and documents. Finally, PGP for Personal Privacy, Version 5.0 integrates innovative new mechanisms to find and store public keys almost instantaneously on a network of public key servers containing tens of thousands of public keys worldwide. PGP for Personal Privacy uses the same strong encryption technology that made PGP the worldwide de facto standard for sending secure messages across private intranets, public extranets and the global Internet. A message encrypted with 128-bit PGP software is 309,485,009,821,341,068,724,781,056 times more difficult to break than a message encrypted using standard 40-bit technology. Following in the tradition started by Phil Zimmermann, creator of PGP and Chief Technology Officer, the code has been made available for peer review, ensuring that PGP has no backdoors and is fundamentally secure. PGP for Personal Privacy, Version 5.0 is ideal for individuals and small businesses. For example, if John wishes to send financial data to his accountant, he can now confidently encrypt, digitally sign and send his tax information via email without concern that the data may be intercepted while in transit. In a business setting, if Susan, the Purchasing Manager, is working on a bid with Tom, a co-worker in another location, she can encrypt the file with Tom's public key and then place it on a common server on the network with the knowledge that only Tom can read it. PGP for Personal Privacy, Version 5.0 makes the once daunting task of encrypting email and files easy to do and manage. On June 16, 1997, Pretty Good Privacy, Inc. will make trying PGP even easier by offering a free 30-day trialware version of PGP for Personal Privacy, Version 5.0 at <http://www.pgp.com>. Public Keys Provide Privacy: In Brief In public key cryptography, a person creates a key pair: a public key which he/she distributes and a private key which he/she keeps confidential. Each one complements the other, but is useless without the other. For example, if Alice wishes to send a secure message to Bob, she encrypts her message with Bob's public key. Bob retrieves the message and decrypts Alice's message to him with his private key. (Bob alone should be the keeper of his private key). Using his private key, only Bob can decipher those messages which were encrypted using his public key. Upgrades for Existing Customers. Existing customers interested in upgrading to PGP for Personal Privacy, Version 5.0 should visit the Pretty Good Privacy website at <http://www.pgp.com> for details. New Features in PGP for Personal Privacy, Version 5.0 Key Server Integration: A user can easily and automatically post a public key to a public key server with a single mouse click. By storing one's public key on a server, it is easily obtained by others who wish to communicate with the creator. Likewise, one is easily able to search the key server for other's public keys. Multiple Message Cryptography: PGP speeds up information access and dissemination by allowing a user to type in his/her passphrase just once during a timed session, enabling the user to decrypt or sign several messages without having to continually type in the passphrase. Selective Text Cryptography: On a PC running Eudora, one can selectively choose text then use the PGP pop up menu to perform any PGP operation. On a Macintosh, the new PGPmenu establishes text encryption and digital signatures via the PGP icon in the menu bar. Via PGPmenu or PGPtools, the application's main function bar, the user can engage the functions of PGP for Personal Privacy. Algorithm choice: As mentioned earlier, PGP for Personal Privacy is now offering a choice of algorithms: DSS/Diffie-Hellman (the ElGamal variation of Diffie-Hellman) and RSA. Further Documentation is available as follows: 5.0 Features and Benefits 5.0 Datasheet 5.0 Frequently Asked Questions Systems Requirements: Windows: Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0 8 MB RAM, 15 MB free disk space Macintosh: Macintosh System 7.5 or later 68020 Processor or later, including PowerPC 8 MB RAM, 10 MB free disk space Plug-in requirements: Microsoft Outlook 8.0 for Windows 95 and NT 4.0 Microsoft Exchange 4.0 for Windows 95 and NT 4.0 QUALCOMM Eudora Pro or Light 3.0.2 for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 QUALCOMM Eudora Pro or Light 3.0 for Macintosh Claris Emailer 2.0 v1 or greater for Macintosh Availability PGP for Personal Privacy, Version 5.0 is available as of June 16, 1997 for download from the Pretty Good Privacy, Inc. website at <http://www.pgp.com>. Boxed versions will be available on June 30, 1997 from the website or by calling Pretty Good Privacy sales at 888.747.3011. Pricing Before August 15, 1997, the price for PGP for Personal Privacy, Version 5.0 is: $39 download from the web $49 boxed (when available) After August 15, 1997, the price for PGP for Personal Privacy, Version 5.0 will be: $49 download from the web $59 boxed For more information, please contact Mike Nelson, Pretty Good Privacy's Director of Corporate Communications, at 415.524.6203.

(again) Message-ID: <199706261657.JAA07338@scv3.apple.com> This tidbit is from: Jonathan Mao, <jonm@geko.net.au> I was recently called out to a client's site to troubleshoot a problem MS Word was having. She had a Pentium PC (16MB RAM,1.2GB HD) running Windows 95 and Microsoft Office 97. All current versions. The user couldn't open the file. I checked the file and discovered it was 19MB! She had an embedded TIFF file on some pages. Shouldn't be a really problem as it was clearly supported in all the documentation AND I checked Windows and confirmed virtual memory was on and she that had ample free disk space. Sure enough, when I tried to open the file an error message (that took at least 20 minutes to appear) indicated the file couldn't be opened due to lack of memory. So, I copied the file to their server. I walked over to one of their Macs (a PowerMac 6100) that had Word on it and opened the file - no problem, first time! Even from the network drive - in less than half the time it took for Word on the PC to tell me it couldn't. The Mac OS allowed me to set Word's RAM partition to one large enough to accomodate the file (in this case I set it to 25MB). To add to the moment, the user in question had recently asked me why I recommended a Mac for her own use at home (and future company purchases):-) Cheers, don't lose the faith! ________________ Do you believe in Macintosh?

One of the many nice things about this software is there's a version for almost every platform. Since this is such a huge job, I'm utilizing nighttime computing power at work by running some frames on some P120 win95 boxes, along with a PowerMac running a 110 MHz PPC chip. This is to augment my PowerTower Pro 225 at home. It gets interesting when you compare speeds on similar frames. On the P120 boxes, a frame can take over 2 hours to render. A similar frame, on the PowerMac at work, takes about an hour and a half (even though it's running 10 MHz slower). But the best is in comparing it to the 225 MHz 604e, on which a similar frame takes 23 minutes. I'm lost as to why anyone would want to do any kind of graphic work on a wintel box. I'm not even a professional, but I can see the clear winner here. ________________ Do you believe in Macintosh?

Kidd, <mck@choco.com> Well! After two months, I have finally unburied myself from under more than 200 replies to my post about intelligently countering people hypnotized by the Windows95 media blitz. I never expected such a huge response - thank you!!! I have compiled what I learned into a mini web site that can be reached at <http://www.choco.com/mac>. I quoted a few of you, I hope no one minds. If you do, just let me know and accept my apologies in advance. And now, my own little Top Ten List - with apologies to David Letterman, of course..... 10- I see commercials for it on TV all the time 9 - Support and service is easy to find 8 - I can buy one relatively cheap 7 - If something goes wrong, any dealer I take it to will know how to fix it 6 - Parts for it are cheap and readily accessible 5 - Everybody has one, shouldn't I have one too? 4 - When I go to the showroom, I see dozens of them to choose from 3 - I'm only going to use it for a few years anyway, then I'll get a new one 2 - I don't need all that fancy stuff anyway. and the Number One reason for buying a Ford Taurus instead of an Alfa Romeo Spider is....(what'd you *think* I was talking about???) 1 - I can put any kind of gas in it I want; I don't need the premium stuff Seriously though, although the differences between a MacOS machine and a Wintel machine aren't quite as vast as a Taurus and an Alfa Romeo, these same type of rationalizations can be made for buying Wintel. And for going to McDonald's instead a gourmet restaurant. And for staying in a Motel 6 instead of The Ritz-Carlton. And...well, you get the idea. Sure the Taurus is cheap, but which car is more fun to drive?? The point is, these 'high class' entities have very small percentages of their respective market. They focus instead on capturing a very specific market, and their customers are usually very loyal because of the level of quality they get. Sound familiar? So, the next time you're debating with a Wintel 'lover' remind yourself. You are a connoisseur of the computer market, able to distinguish between the mere flotsam and jetsam of the PC market and the fine quality machines that run the ultimate of operating systems, MacOS. Not everyone can be blessed with such a refined palate. *grin* By the way, as an aside, my friend who (unfortunately) bought the Aptiva and I went to see Batman and Robin last weekend, and his jaw nearly hit the floor when he saw the Twentieth Anniversary Mac system. When was the last time you heard anyone say "Now *that* is cool" about an IBM machine? Thanks again, Evangelistas. Long live the Mac ________________ Do you believe in Macintosh?

Imao sam prilike da vidim MacOS 8, finalnu beta verziju i mogu vam reci da uopste ne izgleda lose. Zapravo, izgleda skoro isto kao i pre s manjim prepravkama: - 3D-Aaron look je sad standardan, s tim sto se mogu menjati (neke, ne znam da li sve) boje. - prozori u kojima se prikazuje sadrzaj foldera se sada mogu 'minimizovati' i 'spustiti' na dno ekrana, slicno kao kod W95 - postoji mogucnost da se, ako duze vremena drzite pritisnutog misa na folderu, ovaj sam otvori, bez dvoklika. Ovo moze da bude malo nezgodno jer recimo kad kopirate neke fajlove i odvucete ih na ikonicu foldera i ako ne pustite odmah misa, posle par trenutaka folder se otvori. Naravno, fajlovi se iskopiraju unutra, ali se nadjete malo zbunjeni u prvom trenutku. - kopiranje je sada moguce u multitaskingu, tj. kao i kod speed doublera - moguc je veci broj istovremenih kopiranja, a ima i 'info' gde pise koliko ce kopitanje da traje. - kopiranje je znatno, znatno brze nego pre. Prosto za ne poverovati. - malo je zaveden red u organizaciji nekih komandi u Finderu. Neke stvari su prebacene iz Control Panela u menije, Help je od baloncica na desnom kraju ekrana prerastao u Help meni koji se nalazi, kao i kod Windowsa, kao poslednji menu item u menu liniji u vrhu ekrana... Ima jos zgodnih stvarcica, ali ovo su samo neke koje sam uspeo za 30 minuta cackanja da primetim. Covek koji radi s ovim Systemom kaze da je stabilniji od 7.6.1.
