Date: Wed, 26 Nov 97 02:11:11 -0900 From: EvangeList <evangelist@apple.com> Subject: Tidbit - LASAT Modem and Mac Keyword: Advocacy, Why Macs Are Better This tidbit is from: Jaime Carvajal, <supermac@earthling.net> I have recently bougth a new LASAT 56K modem for my Duo 230 and found something interesting in the manual, not that I ever read a manual before (or after) instaling a new device for my Mac, but just for the fun of it. The best part of the manual is the Troubleshooting and FAQ sections; basically, 7 pages just in case you have any problems. I was getting a bit angry about the manual because all the points and questions relate to Windows users (for a change, they forget us, the Mac users) when I arrived to the last question: "Q: How do I get my analogue LASAT modem to run on my Macintosh?" "A: Basically, you do not need anything but the modem and a Macintosh modem cable." I LOVE IT. Seven pages explaining to Wintel users how to get it to work and one sentence for the Mac user, and what a sentence!!!

Date: Mon, 24 Nov 97 06:02:38 -0900 From: EvangeList <evangelist@apple.com> Subject: Tidbit - 9 Year Old Upgrades Mac Keyword: Advocacy, Why Macs Are Better This tidbit is from: Peter Kemp, <peterk@vitality.com> I let my nine-year-old daughter use my old IIsi to play all her games on. A couple of months ago the NEC cd drive died and she's been without the ability to play. Yesterday (11/16) I saw an ad for a $99 external CD at Fry's and decided to get it for her machine. We went and bought the drive and got home just in time for me to see the kickoff of the Dallas/Washington game. She wanted to get the drive installed and I wanted to watch the game so I told her to install it herself, figuring that she could get it unpacked and close to being installed and I could complete the job during a commercial. Ten minutes later I hear her shouting from upstairs "got it working, thanks dad!" I'd like to see a nine-year-old do that on a wintel machine. Thanks MAC.

* M A C W O R L D D A I L Y T I P * from the Macintosh resource <http://www.macworld.com> Level: Beginners In Mac OS 7.6, when you pull down the Apple menu in the Finder, the first line you'll read is "About This Computer." To restore the original phrase, "About This Macintosh" (or enter any short phrase you like) in OS 7.6 and 7.6.1, follow these steps: Make a copy of the Finder and open the copy with Apple's freeware resource editing program, ResEdit. Open the STR# resource and select ID=5000. Navigate to Line 56 and change About This Computer to whatever you like. Now open the STR resource and open ID 10000. Change the phrase here as well.

Ajd da mi neko objasni kako da snim CD na kome će se nalaziti Sistem i sa koga ću, jelte, moći da se butujem. Onda, pre neki dan sam se namaptretirao sa Performom 5400/180 i sa dizanjem sistema sa druge particije. Kombinacija opt+comand+shift+E+ broj particije ne uspeva (radilo na CIu i kod mene na 6100). Darko me uporno ubeđuje da StartupDisk kod njega na 4400 radi baš to ali sve mu nešto slabo verujem jer mi je rekao da to radi i na 6100. :> Dalje, jel treba nekom 7Tuner da se iživljava sa svojim sistemom al na legalan način i bez upotrebe ResEdita? Program je Freeware i mnogo je sladak. Ja napravio novi 7.6 po meri. Nove ikone, novi shortcut-ovi plus meni u boji, ikona moje mašine u About meniju...

mac.3083 ljubisha,
Dobro, nekoj samo neko da mi kaže da i Apple nije u stanju da napravi glupavu mašinu. :( Ona Performa me prava kanta! Sistem za nju se dobija na dva CD-a plus CD za Internet (na kojem je inače glavni program Netscape 2.0.2, ili tako neki mali broj :> ). Sam sistem se na mašinu ne montira standardnim instaliranjem gde mi je omogućeno da biram šta hoću već ide surovo kopiranje svega onoga što oni misle da mi treba. :( E sad, problem je čak i sa modemom jer ga mašina ne prepoznaje već mora da se izvrši ručno instaliranje (obaška što modem neće da snimi aktivni profil sa at&w) i onda radi. Ali... pokušaj da se instalira FreePPP je neslavno propao iako on ima opciju za interni Performa modem. Dalje, pokušaj instalacije novog NS-a i Explorera 3.0.1a je totalno sludeo mašinu tako da je modem totalno odlepio. Legalno pozove broj i ništa. Ni da bekne! U svakom slučaju, mašina je osuđena na 7.5.3 i onaj softver sa CDa a povrh svega 4400/160 sa istih 16Mb radi mnooogo brže (jeste da je L2 cache u pitanju al razlika je ogromna).

Date: Fri, 5 Dec 97 11:54:01 -0900 From: EvangeList <evangelist@apple.com> Subject: Tidbit - Finder Replacement Virtual PC Speedup Trick This tidbit is from: Stewart Smith, <smi52@mckinnonsc.vic.edu.au> __________________________ Digital Guy Sez: In an amazing bit of synchronicity this came in BEFORE Steve's post regarding using VPC as a Finder replacement. I post it here to provide details regarding how it's done, and why anyone would WANT to do it. Please, as always with things like this, use caution: It's always a good idea to back up your data, just in case. __________________________ I found this information on a site somewhere on the internet and thought that it could be of help to some people, I haven't tried it personally because I haven't got a PowerMac yet. It refers to Virtual PC (VPC) but the same trick may work on RealPC or Softwindows 95. If you need to REALLY run Windows 95 at it's fastest on your Mac, do this with VPC: On another partition create a bare bones System (sorry, without another partition, this will not work), remove EVERY extension except the Appearance extension, and every control panel except the Appearance control panel. Then move the VPC preference file into the new System's preference folder. Also move the VirtualPC app itself into the System folder. Remove the Finder from the System, throw it in the trash and delete it. Use ResEdit to change the VPC app's 'creator' code to MACS and 'type' to FNDR. Then rename VirtualPCČ to Finder. Then reboot holding down "Shift-Option-Command-Delete", this will force your Mac to boot from a System other than your startup disk. !!DO NOT CHANGE THE STARTUP DISK IN THE STARTUP DISK CONTROL PANEL!! If you do, it will be murder trying to get it to boot back to MacOS. Now what you have is Windows 95 booting instead of MacOS, and the performance increase is more than double! Alas, you will not be able to use the MacOS while you are running VPC like this, but you WILL still be able to share ANY Mac folder!, but if you NEED to use Win95, this is the best way to do it! Now to get back to the MacOS, just quite VPC as normal, saving it where you left off, and then once it has saved the data to the disc, you just force-restart "Control-Command-PowerKey", and your Mac will safely boot back to MacOS. BTW, all networking is STILL available from the PC using it this way, it's great! On my 8500/180 I am getting speeds that my PC loving friend says are faster than his 200MMX, so believe me, it kicks butt! If you want to play games on VPC, this is the way to do it. __________________________ Digital Guy Sez: Ok, now what we need is to hear some benchmarks from the adventurous. Hey, I just had a REALLY crazy thought: I wonder if you could run Rhapsody for Intel this way? ;-)

> Sam sistem se na mašinu ne montira standardnim instaliranjem gde mi je > omogućeno da biram šta hoću već ide surovo kopiranje svega onoga što oni > misle da mi treba. :( Performe su mašine pravljene za tzv. consumer market, pa im je instaliranje sistema pojednostavljeno do bola, tj. tako da ne može potencijalni korisnik ništa da čačka. Međutim, ništa te ne sprečava da na nju staviš neki noviji System, 7.6 ili čak 8.0. > U svakom slučaju, mašina je osuđena na 7.5.3 i onaj softver sa CDa Ako je vlasnik spreman da izdvoji 100 dinara na sat, sve se može srediti.

> Ajd da mi neko objasni kako da snim CD na kome će se nalaziti Sistem > i sa koga ću, jelte, moći da se butujem. Znam za Toast, a za ostali softver (da li takav i postoji? B)) nemam ideju. Elem, moraš da snimaš Mac Volume, tj. ne može da ide kao Mac Files i Folders. Najbolje je da napraviš privremenu particiju iz Toasta, na nju nabaciš sve što hoćeš da snimiš, po kopiranju System foldera koji želiš da snimiš otvori ga i zatvori ne bi li folder dobio ikonicu da je to aktivan System folder na tom disku (to Ameri nazivaju 'blessed' System folderom). Kada prevučeš particiju preko Toastovog prozora za snimanje, klikni na dugme Data da dobiješ opcije koje možeš da menjaš. U dnu dijaloga imaš strelicu, a kada klikneš na nju otvara se mogućnost kliktanja na dve opcije od kojih je jedna za kreiranje butabilnog CD-a. To je sve, posle normalno snimaš CD. > Kombinacija opt+comand+shift+E+ broj particije ne uspeva (radilo > na CIu i kod mene na 6100). Ta kombinacija radi samo ako hard disk vozi HDT-ov drajver, jer je to njegova opcija. Doduše, ja sam imao problema na klonovima da ponekad uključim tu opciju i ne znam iz kog razloga nije htela da radi iako je disk regularno formatiran HDT-om i na njemu se nalazi ispravan System folder. > Darko me uporno ubeđuje da StartupDisk kod njega na 4400 radi baš to ali > sve mu nešto slabo verujem jer mi je rekao da to radi i na 6100. :> Startup disk kontrol panel to radi, ali samo ako je reč o fizički različitim diskovima. Kada je reč o particiji na jednom disku mora se koristiti pomoć HDT-ovog drajvera.

Verovatno ne, mislim da onda mašina traži System na drugom fizičkom uređaju u SCSI lancu. BTW, juče sam imao prilike da nameštam jedan PowerBook 1400c sa Sonyjevim CD-ROM Discmanom. Ubacim CD sa Mac OS 8, odaberem ga kao startup disk iz kontrol panela, restartuje mašinu i ona se podigne sa istog. A koliko sam samo priča čuo da nema šanse da se Mac podigne sa eksternim CD uređajem. Ne znam šta su radili, ali stvar lepo radi. > =- Ok, now what we need is to hear some benchmarks from the adventurous. > > Ako ovo negde uhvatiš, kači OBAVEZNO!!!

>A šta je ovo i čemu služi?!? Nikad čuo za Appearance... E, bez toga sistem 8 neće da radi. :( Iz njega inače nameštaš boje sistema (prozora) i font plus imaš mogućnost za Simple Finder. I ajd, sad, kako onda pitam da li neko zna kako da u sistemu 8 namestim da mi po difoltu prikazuje ono što ja hoću za sve prozore na disku (pa i nove, naravno)?? Nema više View kao takav tako da je užasno maltretiranje da za svaki prozor (folder, uh) nameštam izgled. Po difoltu je ubačen Date Creation koji zauzima skoro 1/3 prozora a čemu li mi to služi?? Pa i na Atariju sam to gasio i što je najgore, postojala je mogućnost da se uradi custom settings. :( I još nešto što sam znam da Miki nije radio pa možda ostaje Skripka kao zadnja šansa. Čemu ustvari služe one silne labele sa komandama u modem skriptovima?? Kako da nateram GVC da radi sa sistemskim PPPom kad tamo nema tog modema a jedini slični su Supra 144 i USR standard koji me isto ne konstatuju. :( Naravno, reč je o problemu u sistemu 8 je što bih želeo da koristim prednosti onih ikonica za internet i njegovog Dialera a on jedino radi sa PPPom (mora i mora da bude namešten u TCP/IPu :( ) što znači da ne konstatuje FreePPP.

* M A C W O R L D D A I L Y T I P * from the Macintosh resource <http://www.macworld.com> Level: Intermediate The MessagePad 2000 and the latest Newton OS provide far more reliable handwriting recognition than earlier versions of the Newton, but it's still not perfect. Here are some hints for streamlining handwritten entries on your MessagePad: 1. If the MessagePad fails to correctly display a letter or two in a word you've written, don't immediately start correcting. Instead, double-tap the word to see if the correct word exists in the MessagePad's dictionary. If so, select it and your word is corrected. 2. Don't forget that you can write the correct letter directly over an incorrect letter. For example, if my MessagePad displays "Macuorld" instead of "Macworld" all I have to do is write a "w" directly over the "u." 3. You can easily replace common words such as "the" by copying and dragging that same word from another part of the document. 4. In the Notepad, don't worry about tapping at the beginning of the next line to place the cursor there. Tap anywhere in that next line and the cursor will appear at the beginning of the line.

* M A C W O R L D D A I L Y T I P * from the Macintosh resource <http://www.macworld.com> Level: Power User Using Users and Groups to determine who does and doesn't have access to your networked Mac is all well and good, but as nifty as the new File Sharing control panel may be, it has the same security flaw as earlier versions: anyone sitting down at your computer can change the owner's password. How do you protect yourself? Simple, make the File Sharing control panel invisible with a utility such as ResEdit. File sharing will still work, but when some nefarious co-worker opens your Control Panels folder with impure intentions, said snake-in-the-grass will find the File Sharing control panel conspicuously absent.

* M A C W O R L D D A I L Y T I P * from the Macintosh resource <http://www.macworld.com> Level: Intermediate Deep within many applications are sound resources that you rarely, if ever, hear -- the backward Rush Limbaugh soundbite from Myst, for example. In the bad old days it was possible to extract these sounds only with ResEdit or a commercial utility such as Opcodes AudioShop. Now it can be done for a mere 12 bucks with Clixsounds Agent Audio. Just fire up Agent Audio, pick a sound-bearing application or file, and Agent Audio will present you with a playable list of all the sounds contained therein. But wait, there's more. Not only can you play the sounds, but you can easily take sounds from one application and use them to replace sounds in another application. For example, if you've had it with A-10 Attack! Cuba's tiresome Run home and cry to mama! every time you fail to complete your mission, replace it with Harry the Handsome Executive's You're fired!

* M A C W O R L D D A I L Y T I P * from the Macintosh resource <http://www.macworld.com> Level: Beginner The Map control panel that has so long graced our Macintoshes has a few hidden goodies that you should know about. For example: Click on mi (miles) to change to km (kilometers). Click again to change to degrees. To run through the name of every city on the map, hold down the Option key and click Find repeatedly. Type Mid in the City field to find the location of the Middle of Nowhere. To see the time difference between your home town and another city on the map, click on the word's Time Zone. Click and hold on the version number (v.7.5.1, for example) to see the name of the map's creator. Earlier versions of the map were in black and white. To have a color map instead, just open the Scrapbook, navigate to the page with the color map, copy it, open the Map control panel, and type Command-V.

Apple Store Becomes Third Largest e-commerce Site in Under 30 Days Apple Computer, Inc. today reported that The Apple Store, its new online store <http://www.apple.com/store>, received over $12 million dollars of orders in its first 30 days of operation. The Apple Store opened its e-doors on Nov. 10, 1997. "The Apple Store is now one of the top e-commerce sites on the Internet," said Steve Jobs, Apple's interim CEO. "We are thrilled by the customer acceptance of both the store and our new build-to-order program." The Apple Store is one element of Apple's new distribution strategy, which also includes a broad new relationship with CompUSA, one of the nation's largest computer resellers. CompUSA is opening an Apple "store within a store" in every one of their over 140 stores in the US. Each "store within a store" features the complete Apple computer line, a large selection of accessories, and over 200 Macintosh software titles--all in a single Apple-branded location within the store. The Apple Store was created using WebObjects, Apple's award winning web development software which has become a market share leader. Apple recently announced WebObjects version 3.5, featuring improved Java support and greater ease of use through its Direct-to-Web technology. WebObjects is transforming the way many companies approach the development of web commerce applications.

* M A C W O R L D D A I L Y T I P * from the Macintosh resource <http://www.macworld.com> Level: Intermediate The PowerBook's portability is both a blessing and a bother - the machine is easy to lug around, but alas, it's also easy to steal. Here are a couple of ways to mark your PowerBook: Record a personalized message such as, This PowerBook is the property of [insert your name here], you miserable, thieving scoundrel! and place it in the Startup Items folder in the System Folder. To make this sound file tough to track down, paste a white icon into the file's Get Info box, and make the filename a single space.

* M A C W O R L D D A I L Y T I P * from the Macintosh resource <http://www.macworld.com> Level: Intermediate With the holidays upon us, it's possible that you'll be taking your PowerBook to Grandma's house and therefore may be away from a convenient power outlet. If so, keep these power-saving tips in mind: * Take a load off your batteries by creating a RAM disk and placing the applications you use most often on this virtual disk. This cuts back on hard-drive access which equals longer battery life. * Turn down backlighting. A bright screen wolfs down volts like nobody's business. * Turn off any extensions or control panels that perform operations in the background-file saver applications, disk optimizers, and screensavers, for example. * Shut off your modem. If it's not being used for calling (or you're not expecting a fax) shut this power sucker down. If Grandma lives a long, long way away and you, your PowerBook, and a delicious fruitcake are on an extended plane trip to see her, sneak away to the plane's lavatory during the movie and use the electric shaver outlet to give your PowerBook a quick charge.

I knew that Win95 could either be relatively easy or very quirky. This latest experience just confirmed this impression. None of the machines would recognize the ethernet cards even though these had been configured earlier in the week. I had to reinstall the software for the cards. Upon doing this, machine 1 started freezing up on startup. I had to start up in safe mode, remove the drivers and start over again. After the third try the machine finally recognized the card and setting up TCP/IP was relatively straight forward. Machine 2 worked as advertised. Following the same procedures as had been used on machine 1, machine 2 worked without a hitch. Machine 3 on the other had would not recognize the card. After 7 attempts to install the drivers we finally reinstalled the OS. This solved the problem. Machine 4 was even worse. Upon installing the drivers for the ethernet card, the computer promptly stopped recognizing the CD-ROM drive. We checked for address conflicts (there were none) and even tried removing the drivers for the card. No luck. To this point the machine is still refusing to recognize the CD-ROM. So, after 4 hours of work...3 of 4 machines are now on the net. Having done this many times on Macs, I can honestly attest that it never takes more than 10 minutes to get a mac online. Guess this just confirms that plug and pray is alive and well. Dennis McElroy Educational Technologist Drake University School of Education Des Moines, IA 50311

Damn, it was cool! Classic Bond action and innuendos. Here's one scene that had the entire theater howling, though.... You find out early on who the bad guy is: Elliot Carver, President and CEO of Carver Global Media. Basically, he's trying to take over the world through his numerous media ventures, and the plot escalates... well, go see it. At one point, geeky looking Carver is talking over a video tele-conference with several of his yes-men. They are updating him on various issues and projects. He asks one of them about a new software release. The minion answers that the package will be delivered on time and full of bugs. There's a very slight pause where you expect Carver may fire the guy or something, but continuing with a smile, the guy says, "so that people will have to upgrade for years to come." Carver replies with great enthusiasm to this and the theater breaks out in laughter! It was then I realized how thick Carver's glasses were and how nerdy they portrayed him. A great scene, man!

The following is what I received from Rob: - -- [ From: Rob Costello * EMC.Ver #2.5.02 ] -- Thanks for your interest in the Weekly Web Poll! - - Rob [-- Copy of Update Bulletin --] ** Important UPDATE Regarding Last Week's Poll (for the week of 12/01/97) ** Fellow Poll Fans, The Weekly Web Poll fell victim to a few reckless and irresponsible individuals who delighted themselves in artificially inflating the poll results. This all came to my attention last Friday night (12/5/97) and I have since corrected the results for the Net/Computer poll. We have also installed several new utilities to help keep the poll numbers as valid as possible (and to prevent such abuse in the future). It's important to note that this is the *first* time such an attack has ever occurred at the Weekly Web Poll. Don't worry, poll fans, your poll numbers HAVE been highly reliable to date (including this LATEST poll due to our recalculations). Thanks to meticulous log keeping maintained on our end, we can easily AND *accurately* separate the legitimate votes from the bogus "spam" votes. This makes the new totals of 7005 votes and ALL the individual responses completely valid. In other words, these would have been the TRUE numbers had the spamming never had taken place. (Make sure to see my note regarding the large percentage of Mac users below). We can also identify *who* spams the Weekly Web Poll and have already contacted the appropriate administrators in this case. This type of behavior is completely unacceptable and it is my goal to provide you with poll results that are reasonably representative of the Net community. I want to thank each and everyone of you for your continued participation and I apologize for any confusion the initial poll results may have caused. Please stop over to the Weekly Web Poll and check out the new (and accurate) poll totals! Even with the bogus votes removed, we still had a wonderful turnout this week (over 7000 voters!!). - - Rob Costello P.S. When you look at the results, you will notice a rather large percentage of Mac users. This is NOT a mistake in the poll numbers. It is due to the Weekly Web Poll being promoted in a Mac mailing list (the "Mac Evangelista") . We therefore had a larger proportion of Mac folks drop by versus other types of computer users. The Weekly Web Poll welcomes ALL voters to participate and encourages new folks to come by and visit us! [-- End of Bulletin --] The power of the Evangelistas is always amazing to me!! __________________________ Digital Guy Sez: EvangeListas who were monitoring this poll closely had contacted me regarding a sudden surge in the number of PC surfers earlier this week that appeared to overtake the Mac numbers. In the spirit of "Team CheataLista" it looks like some annoyed Windows user decided to "even" the numbers through spamming. I commend Mr. Costello's quick action and gallant message! I'll be the first person to say that Windows users are perfectly free to advertise such polls themselves -- which makes you wonder why they STILL haven't to date. :-)

­=- Imam Apple PowerBook 520 sa 8 Mb rama i sistemom 7.5.1. ­=- Na kompu imam instaliran MS Works 4.0 ali nece da se pokrene. Ovo možda neće biti odgovor koji si tražio, ali... Imaš teži i lakši put. Lakši je, u ovom slučaju, još i bolji... Dakle: možeš da nateraš (sigurno) MS Works da ti proradi, na ovaj ili onaj način... ono 'drugo' je da pređeš na Claris Works. Fala Bogu, ima ga dovoljno u ovim krajevima, dovoljno je fleksibilan, brži, i ono što tebe najviše zanima veoma malo zahtevan u memorijskom pogledu. Znači, ako nemaš nemaš debeo razlog, slobodno ubi MS Works... Nisam ni spomenuo to da je u Mac svetu Claris Works daleko više ono što se može nazvati 'standard' neko MS Works. I da stalno evoluira, izdaju se nove verzije, itd. Na kraju napominjem da je ovo moje (skromno) mišljenje. Čućeš, nadam se, i ostala.

* M A C W O R L D D A I L Y T I P * from the Macintosh resource <http://www.macworld.com> Level: Intermediate If you've just inherited an older, 68030 or 040 Mac because Santa brought a new one to your nearest and dearest, you may not be aware of one of the most confounding problems known to Mac users with these machines. If you notice that your System software is taking up nearly every megabyte of RAM in your Mac (and we're talking an inordinate amount, such as 14MB out of an available 16MB) it's likely that you've neglected to turn on 32-bit addressing. To do so, open the Memory control panel, locate the 32-bit addressing button, and click it on. If you have a Mac such as a IIcx that doesn't support 32-bit addressing you'll need to download a copy of Mode32, a control panel that makes these older machines "32-bit clean" and adds the 32-bit addressing option to the Memory control panel.

> Neka neko napise ako ima neku ideju. > Napominjem da sam relativno nov u MAC svetu. Sa tom količinom memorije bi morao da imaš dovoljno memorije, osim ako MS Worksu nije dato previše. Takođe, proveri šta ti je od ekstenzija pouključivano, pa isključi one koje su ti nepotrebne korišćenjem Extension Managera. I ne bi bilo loše poslušaš Aleksandrov savet, Claris Works je ipak bolji od ovog Microsoftovog čeda, da ne govorimo što je idealan upravo za PowerBookove jer ne zahteva previše memorije za rad.

Napokon sam instalirao Sistem 8!! Još jednom hvala Mikiju za ono programče jer sam se mnogo lakše rešio na ovaj korak. Ah da, instlirao sam i Explorer 4. Jeste da je preview ali moram da priznam da je za klasu elegantniji od Communicator-a. :( Nema Edit opciju ali su mu dodali mogućnost za Offline browsing. Inače, pod sistemom 8 se gubi browser iz Stuffit-a (a imam i 4.01) i ConflictCatcher više nema min i max konfiguraciju kao pod sistemom 7.6. Probao sam i norton 3,5,1 i nije ništa naročito a najviše me je obradovao CD-ROM toolkit 3. Sad podržava mnogo novije modele CDova pa čak i 14x brzince! Narvno tu je i ResEdit 3, podosta izmenjenog izgleda ali slaba vajda kad ga treba kompletirati sa resorsovima. :( Miki, jel ima šanse da ga središ?

­=- Da li bi neko mogao da mi kaze gde u Beogradu moze da se kupi neka ­=- literatura vezana za Mac Ako misliš nešto 'domaće' vezano za Mac OS ili hardver, nigde... Ako misliš nešto o software-u, posao ti vrše gotovo sve knjige (Word, Excel, Photoshop, Quark, itd.) koje su objavljene kao PC izdanja. Mada ne vidim šta će ti to. Probaj u Mikro knjizi... Ako išta ima, iam tamo. Ako hoćeš možda originalna izdanja (na engleskom), probaj kod CET-a.

Izdate su 94.tako da i nisu mnogo korisne za današnje standarde. Jedna knjiga je opis sistema (CP-a, ekstenzija) i nekog softvera a druga knjiga je za hardveraše.

* M A C W O R L D D A I L Y T I P * from the Macintosh resource <http://www.macworld.com> Level: Intermediate You've probably heard the term ""cookie"" tossed about in the course of conversations related to the web but may be unclear on what they do and how to avoid them. Here's the scoop: A cookie is akin to a marker placed by a web server on your Mac. This marker can contain such information as your password for a particular site as well as a list of other pages you've visited on that site and/or server. Despite the dire warnings you may have heard elsewhere, a cookie does _not_ contain a list of every single site you've visited with your browser - a server can only set cookies for links on that server. Once you move to another server, that cookie no longer keeps track of your travels. Although cookies can be useful - particularly for maintaining passwords - you may wish to do without them. Here's the easiest way to avoid them: If you're using Netscape, open the Netscape f folder (found inside the System Folder's Preferences folder), locate the file named MagicCookie, and drag it to your desktop. This MagicCookie file is where Netscape stores cookies. Now create a new folder within the Netscape f folder and name it MagicCookie. Netscape will now be unable to create a new MagicCookie file because it believes one already exists. Since the Mac can't write data directly to folders, Netscape will be unable to accept cookies. You can pull this same trick with AOL 3.0 by opening the Browser Cache folder found in the Preferences folder's America Online folder and replacing the cookies.txt file. Likewise, replace Internet Explorer's cookies.txt file that lives within the Cache folder inside the Explorer folder inside the Preferences folder inside the System Folder inside your startup drive inside the house that Jack built.

mac.3149 madamov,
Dear ADN readers, Happy New Year! This is Gregg Williams at Apple, and I'm writing a short summary of the Macworld Expo Keynote session, which just let out about 20 minutes ago. To make sure you get the freshest news, I'm writing this now and will write something more detailed by the end of today. First off, there was nothing but good news (although no CEO announcement was made). Steve Jobs hosted it (along with numerous other presenters), and all the presentations were relaxed, positive, full of content, and to the point. Here are the most relevant points--the "just the facts" news--presented in chronological order: * Apple's sales of Power Macintosh G3 computers are strong. In the first 51 days of sales (this covers up to just a few days ago), Apple did much better than it expected. We forecast sales of 80,000 Power Macintosh G3 computers--we sold 133,000. * Apple's work with retail vendors is paying off. CompUSA has 57 Apple "store-within-a-store" units up and running (over 140 expected by February). In October (before the "store-within-a-store" concept was implemented), sales of Macintosh computers at CompUSA accounted for 3 percent of all computer sales (in numbers of units sold). At the 57 Apple "store-within-a-store" locations, Macintosh sales in December rose to 14 percent of all computer units sold. * Apple announced four new add-in computer options, available today through the Apple Store and Apple dealers: a 100 Mbit-per-second 10/100BASE-T Ethernet PCI card (for $100!), 4 and 9 GB Ultra/Wide SCSI internal hard disks (with associated PCI cards), and a 128-bit ix3D Ultimate Rez graphics accelerator card. (I was just up on the http://store.apple.com site and, despite the traffic it must be getting now, it was *fast*!) * Mac OS 8.1 will be out in February as a commercial product, the standard OS on all new Macintosh computers, and a *free upgrade* to all Mac OS 8.0 customers. It includes the new HFS Plus disk format, better Java support (complying with the Java Development Kit 1.13 standard), and Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 for Macintosh (which just went final) as its default browser. It is also the first operating system to include built-in support for the Universal Data Format (UDF, the format used by DVD discs). * There was great emphasis on QuickTime 3.0 (more on that in my next missive) as the best technology on both Mac OS and Windows for doing media streaming across the Internet, video, audio, 3D, music, and more. QuickTime 3.0 will continue to be free on both platforms, but Apple will also sell an enhanced QuickTime Pro version for US$ 29.95 to (as Steve Jobs put it) help fund future innovation from Apple. * Representatives from four companies presented four hot new products: Microsoft Office 8.0 for Macintosh (you've got to see this to believe it--it's *great*), 40 enterprise solutions from Oracle, Macromedia Dreamweaver, and Cyan's Riven: The Sequel to Myst (which is created exclusively on Macintosh and Silicon Graphics computers). * Last and best, Steve Jobs announced approximate figures for Apple's first financial quarter of 1998, September through December 1997. (Apple will announce the exact figures on January 14.) According to Steve Jobs, "Apple had revenues of $ 1.575 billion, and Apple Computer last quarter made a $ 45 Million profit....I think I can tell you for sure that Apple is coming back." That's all for now. It's 11:42 here in Cupertino. After lunch, I'll start writing again and have something in the e-mail to you by this evening. Thanks for listening.

MACWORLD EXPO, SAN FRANCISCO--Jan. 6, 1998--Apple Computer, Inc. today announced that it expects to report net profits exceeding $45 million on revenues of approximately $1.575 billion when it reports its fiscal 1998 first quarter financial results on Jan. 14, 1998. First quarter profitability was primarily due to higher gross margins and continued cost cutting. The Company also benefited from the following new products and initiatives announced during the quarter: - - Apple's new Power Macintosh G3 computers, launched on Nov. 10, 1997 significantly outsold Apple's forecasts for the quarter--over 133,000 units shipped versus a forecast of 80,000 units--becoming Apple's most successful new product launch in history. Power Macintosh G3 computers outperform the fastest Intel Pentium II based computers, yet are priced competitively with systems from Dell and Gateway. - - The on-line Apple Store (www.apple.com) has become one of the top-ten grossing e-commerce sites on the Internet since opening its e-doors on Nov. 10, 1997. - - Apple's new build-to-order manufacturing worked, confounding skeptics. Apple now offers its Power Macintosh G3 computers in over 500 custom configurations through its on-line Apple Store and its new build-to-order manufacturing. Thousands of orders were received and shipped during the quarter. - - Apple's new partnership with CompUSA, the world's largest computer retailer, is producing results. During the quarter CompUSA outfitted 57 of its computer superstores with dedicated Apple "store within a store" environments, sending CompUSA's Macintosh sales soaring. In the beginning of the quarter, Macintosh sales were 3 percent of CompUSA's overall PC business. Now, in the 57 stores outfitted in the store within a store format, Macintosh sales are 14 percent of CompUSA's PC business. CompUSA expects all of their computer superstores to be outfitted with the new Apple environments by February. Jobs kicked off Apple's second fiscal quarter with his Macworld keynote address. He was joined onstage by senior executives from Microsoft, Oracle, Macromedia and Broderbund--four of the more than 50 software developers announcing new or updated products for the Macintosh at Macworld. Microsoft announced that Office 98 Macintosh Edition would begin shipping later this month--months ahead of their Windows version. This version of Office offers Macintosh users advanced functionality, such as self-repairing applications, not currently available to Windows users. In addition, Apple announced Mac OS 8.1, an updated version of the successful Mac OS 8 software launched last August, and demonstrated QuickTime 3.0, the newest release of Apple's industry standard multimedia software. These statements regarding estimated results are preliminary and based on partial information and management assumptions. The Company expects to announce its actual results for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 on Jan. 14, 1998.

MACWORLD/EXPO, SAN FRANCISCO--Jan. 6, 1998--Apple Computer, Inc. today introduced Mac OS 8.1, its newest version of the Mac OS which builds on the strong success of Mac OS 8. Mac OS 8.1 will be available in February and is free to current Mac OS 8 customers. The primary new features in Mac OS 8.1 are: - Microsoft's Internet Explorer provided as the default web browser - Greatly improved Java compatibility and performance over Mac OS 8 with the newest version of Apple's Java Virtual Machine (MRJ 2.0) which implements Sun's Java Development Kit (JDK version 1.1.3) - More efficient disk storage with HFS+, an improved disk file system and format that literally returns storage space back to customers - Built in Digital Video Disk (DVD) Universal Disk Format (UDF) which reads video DVDs and DVD-ROM interactive games - Faster application launching from newly optimized virtual memory and disk cache systems - Printing across TCP/IP networks with a new LaserWriter printer driver - Better PC compatibility with PC Exchange 2.2 which supports Windows 95 long file names and volume formats, including PC-formatted removable media such as Iomega Zip and Jaz cartridges Incorporates Leading Internet Browsers Mac OS 8.1 includes leading Internet access software--Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.01 and Netscape Navigator 4.04. Internet Explorer is installed as the default browser. Mac OS 8.1 features Apple's Internet Assistant software, which guides users through the normally complicated tasks required to set up Internet connections. In addition, Mac OS 8.1 ships with the latest version of America Online for Mac OS. Mac OS 8.1 incorporates Apple's latest version of the Java Virtual Machine, MRJ 2.0, resulting in greatly improved Java compatibility and performance over Mac OS 8. Users can run Java applets or applications using MRJ 2.0 in Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser, or without a browser using Apple's "Applet Runner" software. MRJ 2.0 implements the Java Development Kit (JDK) version 1.1.3 from Sun Microsystems, and passes the "100% Pure Java" conformancy tests supplied by Sun. Mac OS 8.1 features HFS+, a new advanced disk file system and format which stores small files much more efficiently than the existing Mac file system. Users can recoup a significant percentage of their current storage space for all files, and store many more files on their existing disks without running out of space. Mac OS 8.1 defaults to use the existing Mac file system. To utilize this new feature users must first back-up their disk, reformat it for HFS+, then restore their data to the newly reformatted disk. Mac OS 8.1 runs on all PowerPC and 68040 processor-based Macintosh computers with at least 16MB of RAM. Mac OS 8.1 will be available in the U.S. and Canada in February, and Mac OS 8 customers may download the Mac OS 8.1 update free of charge from Apple's website or get a full install CD of Mac OS 8.1 for $19.95 (details on <http://www.apple.com>. Mac OS 8.1 will be pre-loaded on new Macintosh computers beginning in mid February. Localized versions of Mac OS 8.1 are scheduled to be available in April.

MACWORLD/EXPO, SAN FRANCISCO--Jan. 6, 1998--In an agreement designed to enhance the quality of voice audio over the Internet, Apple Computer, Inc. announced today it has licensed QUALCOMM's PureVoice technology to be included in QuickTime 3.0. QuickTime 3.0 is the latest version of the Company's award-winning, industry-standard software architecture for creating and publishing digital media for Mac OS and Windows. By integrating QUALCOMM PureVoice technology into QuickTime 3.0, Apple is helping content providers deliver superior voice-based content to every Internet user, at any modem connection speed. QUALCOMM's PureVoice is an industry leading compression technology designed for use in a wide range of voice-enabled software applications. PureVoice compresses the spoken word, such as a newscast, to a compact digital format while still delivering an extremely high, nearly land-line voice quality experience for the listener. Targeted for Internet use, the integration of PureVoice enhances QuickTime with high quality, low data rate audio compression for speech, enabling quality Internet playback on modems as slow as 14.4kbps. PureVoice technology brings enhanced spoken word audio while reducing file size and transmission time ten-fold when compared with common audio formats such as Wave. A typical one minute voice mail message stored in a Wave file would require over seven minutes to transmit using 28.8kbps modem. The same voice mail compressed into a QuickTime Movie file using PureVoice technology would take less than 45 seconds to download, allowing the listener to hear the message as it is transferred. While PureVoice can deliver quality speech in as little as 900 bytes per second, the technology can scale to achieve better quality audio by applying a higher data rate. The latest QuickTime 3.0 Developer Preview Release integrating QUALCOMM's PureVoice technology is available for immediate download at <http://www.quicktime.apple.com/preview/>. QuickTime 3.0 is expected to be available early 1998. An updated QuickTime 3.0 Developer Preview Release is currently available via download from the web at <http://www.quicktime.apple.com/preview/>. Developers may license the current version of QuickTime for redistribution with applications, titles, and media clip libraries that support QuickTime. For additional licensing information, contact Apple Software Licensing by phone at: (512) 919-2645 or by email at: <sw.license@apple.com>. First released in 1991, QuickTime is the recognized leader in software technology for the creation and delivery of multimedia content. QuickTime is used for professional video editing, website creation, CD-ROM development, and the creation of animation content.QuickTime 3.0 has already won several industry awards including Videography's National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) '97 Editors' Choice Award, Television Broadcast Magazine's NAB Editors' Pick of Show Award and New Media's Hyper Award for System Software. QuickTime 3.0 is significant as it brings the full power of QuickTime--including the ability to capture, edit, compress, process, and playback digital media--for the first time to all major personal computer platforms, including Mac OS 8 and Mac OS 7.x, Windows 95 and Windows NT.

MACWORLD/EXPO, SAN FRANCISCO--Jan. 7, 1998--Apple Computer, Inc. today announced a public beta of HyperCard 2.4, the first QuickTime 3.0 compatible tool and an important update to the Company's premiere tool for creating custom software solutions. HyperCard 2.4 now leverages the power and flexibility of QuickTime 3.0 with the ability to directly open any QuickTime-readable file or media type including QuickTime VR, MPEG, AVI, DV, JPEG, Wave or any of the more than 50 file and media types that QuickTime 3.0 supports. HyperCard 2.4 and QuickTime 3.0, the latest version of the Company's award-winning, industry standard software architecture for creating and publishing digital media for Mac OS and Windows, are scheduled for availability in early 1998. The HyperCard 2.4 public beta is now available from the web at: <http://hypercard.apple.com>. HyperCard 2.4's new features include a suite of new commands and properties allowing users that write HyperTalk scripts to have unprecedented access to QuickTime functionality, some of which is only present in QuickTime 3.0. HyperCard 2.4 has the ability, via a HyperTalk script, to loop a movie providing continuous play for unattended applications like multimedia kiosks. With QuickTime 3.0's ability to synchronize a text version of a movie's script with the movie, HyperCard 2.4 now allows the user to immediately navigate to any point in the QuickTime movie text using a simple find command. In addition, HyperCard users can also resize, flip, mirror, rotate or skew a QuickTime movie. HyperCard has always embraced the notion of linking and with QuickTime 3.0, HyperCard scripters now have a command that establishes links from HyperCard stacks to QuickTime movies, QuickTime VR scenes and the World Wide Web. Introduced in 1987, HyperCard is a dynamic tool for creating custom software solutions for users at all levels of skill and experience. Ground breaking HyperCard features like navigation, hypertext, media integration and scripting have greatly influenced the evolution of the World Wide Web. HyperCard organizes information into easy-to-use "stacks" of cards through which users can navigate and search for the information they need. By simply clicking on a button, they can view related text, see a graphic, hear a sound, watch a QuickTime movie, or listen to text out loud. The estimated retail price of HyperCard 2.4 in the U.S. is $99. HyperCard 2.4 is expected to be available in early 1998 through Apple's Claris subsidiary, retail software channels, and volume licensing and maintenance agreements. HyperCard 2.3.5 customers will be able to upgrade to the new version free from the HyperCard website at <http://hypercard.apple.com>. For more information, in the U.S. call 1-800-282-2732.

Date: Fri, 9 Jan 1998 02:13:38 -0900 From: EvangeList <evangelist@apple.com> Subject: Tidbit - Mac Evangelism Story Keyword: Advocacy, Why Macs Are Better This tidbit is from: David T. Bernat, <bernatd@gav.gat.com> The following story is absolutely true. It's also a little long, so watch out! Just after Christmas, a good friend of mine invited me to "geek out" with him and some other guys at his co-worker's house... basically, we were going to network our computers and play Quake all day. My friend owns two Wintel machines, and he intended to let me use one for the day, but since my 8600/200 is a beefier machine, with a Techworks Power3D card added on, I thought it might make a good impression on this mostly Wintel crowd. My friend (a closet Mac evangelist, even though he's a Wintel owner--a strange breed indeed) agreed with a grin, so we packed up and drove into hostile territory. We arrived and met all the people we didn't know, and pointed out that we brought my Mac "just to see if we could make it work". One fella furrowed his brow at that and said, as if he hadn't heard correctly, "A Mac?" We affirmed that he had heard correctly, to which he furrowed his brow further and mused, "What kind of freak would bring a Mac?" I filed this insult away without acknowledgement. My friend had brought the eight-port hub for everyone to connect to, so we set about getting everything in place. One computer was set aside as the Quake server, running the game for us to join. That one was set up first, and everyone else began trying to join the game. I quickly realized (after booting my computer, setting up MacIPX, and attempting to join the server's game [elapsed time: 5 minutes]) that MacQuake seemed to be incapable of joining a game of PC Quake, so I resigned myself to using my friend's "extra" computer. After a half an hour or so, everyone else was having problems connecting to the Quake server as well. After numerous reboots (you hafta reboot Win95 every time you change any network setting), they were all getting frustrated. One fella (the same fella who called me a freak) actually announced at one point, "Well, I think I have to install this new network card I got," and proceeded to crack open his case, whip out the old card, and stuff the new one inside. Then, of course, he had to fuss about with the setup/network settings on Win95, taking even more time. A different guy realized he had a virus on his machine. Everyone else just had problems. Eventually my friend fixed all the problems on all the PC's, and my Mac was able to join the Quake game after all. We realized, in fact, that through the whole 2.5 hour setup process, my computer was the only one that had been properly connected to the network. My friend and I laughed at this, while the Wintel folk tried to make jokes about it ("Whoah, a Mac actually worked for once, hyuk hyuk"). I rolled my eyes, filed the incident away, and started playing (blowing someone away in VR is a great way to make up for filed-away insults). When we got bored with plain vanilla Quake, we tried transferring different levels and patches around; since they were using a Microsoft network to share files, I wasn't sure how to make my Mac speak to their computers. I decided to use BetterTelnet as an FTP server, and have one of the guys ftp files over to my machine. We all assigned fake IP numbers to our machines and attempted the transfer, but ran into problems... it turned out that, for some bizarre reason that simply reeked of Windows 95, only one of their computers was able to ftp to my computer. Before we had realized this, the fella (who called me a freak) chimed in with his take on the situation: "I don't think the Mac can *do* TCP/IP," he said. It occurred to me that perhaps this particular fella had never used, touched, or perhaps even breathed the same air as a Mac before. Later we tried some different patches, like Capture the Flag games. I knew that to use such a patch under windows, you have to run Quake from the command line and specify the patch you want to use as a command line argument. I didn't know how to do it on the Mac. Of course, before I discovered the solution, the fella (who called me a freak) offered his advice. "Well can't you just use the command line?" he said. "The Mac doesn't have a command line," I responded, "it doesn't need one." "Well, can't you write a batch file?" This one really amused me; it seemed as though he didn't realize that a batch file is just a list of command line commands, which you feed to a command line interface (DOS). Since the Mac doesn't have a CLI, I would have thought he could have figured out the answer to this one himself, but I helped him out anyway: "Of course I can write one; it's just a text file. But it won't *do* anything, since the Mac doesn't have a command line." He scoffed. "You mean you can't script anything on the Mac? Hah!" "Of course I can write scripts for the Mac. But it's not the kind of script you're thinking of. The MacOS is a completely different paradigm from Windows 95. You shouldn't say, 'the Mac doesn't *have* a command line interface,' you should say, 'the Mac doesn't *need* a command line interface.'" As I spoke, the obvious solution came to me. I tried (on a whim) drop-launching the folder containing the patch onto Quake, and lo and behold, it worked. He seemed to struggle to keep his jaw from dropping. I'd like to think I made an impression on this guy. This was really the exact sort of situation in which the Mac absolutely shines. Consider: my computer was up and running on the network smoothly in about five minutes. I never had to crack open my case to install my "new network card". I didn't have any viruses on my machine (it was once said that Wintel software can be broken down thusly: one third games, one third viruses, and one third that doesn't work). I was able to set up and run an FTP server with zero glitches on my end. I was able to change my network without rebooting my computer. And I was able to use my computer in a very intuitive way, without learning some klunky and outdated command line syntax. I wonder what kind of "freak" will be bringing a Mac to the next Quake Fest. Certainly this one will. :) David T. Bernat <dbernat@cts.com>

IE 4 for Mac has crypto bug By Alex Lash January 16, 1998, 4:20 p.m. PT Internet Explorer 4.0 for Macintosh has an encryption bug, Microsoft (MSFT) acknowledged today. Released earlier this month at the Macworld conference, the strong-encryption version of IE 4 for Mac has a glitch that doesn't allow surfers to access sites that use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), a type of encryption protocol common to transactions over the Web. Because the bug doesn't even allow a user to get to such a site, there is no danger of losing private information such as a credit card number, Microsoft representatives said. "This is not a security hole, and there is no data compromised," said product manager Chris Carper. The bug occurs only in the version of IE 4 for Mac that supports 128-bit encryption, a stronger level of encryption that American companies can't export without federal approval. Therefore, the bug should mostly affect U.S. users of the product, Carper said. He did not know how many people have downloaded the 128-bit version since the product's release. When a user with the buggy browser visits a site with either SSL version 2 or 3, he or she will only see a blank screen, a result of being denied access by the server, Carper said. Access is denied because of a problem in Microsoft's implementation of triple DES, a particular type of 128-bit encryption. A patch will be posted on the Microsoft Web site by Monday, Carper said.

Apple releases OS upgrade By Jim Davis January 19, 1998, 11:30 a.m. PT Apple Computer (AAPL) today is officially unveiling an upgrade to the Macintosh operating system (OS) that includes built-in support for DVD drives, among other new features. Apple has already made the Mac OS 8.1 upgrade available on a special Web site. The upgrade is also available at CNET's DOWNLOAD.COM. Factory incorporation of the updated OS into new computers will begin in February, Apple officials said at the Macworld Expo earlier this month. The availability of the upgrade in the time frame Apple originally promised is further evidence that the company has improved its track record for delivering revisions to its OS on time: Apple had vowed last year to make the upgrade available by the end of January to customers. Having canceled an earlier project for a new OS, called Copland, that was to replace the Mac OS, the company has unveiled a number of Copland's technologies in various releases since 1996. The most recent major upgrade to the Mac OS was released, as promised, in July. Peter Lowe, product line manager for the Mac OS, notes that Apple has changed the process for developing its software products. "First and foremost, it's a renewed philosophy that both schedule and product quality are features. From [Mac OS] 7.5.5 through OS 8.1, we've delivered all of these products on time," Lowe noted. By mid-1998, Apple has committed to releasing another major revision to the Mac OS, code-named Allegro, as well as the full release of Rhapsody. Rhapsody is Apple's next-generation OS, based on technology acquired from Next Software, which was acquired in 1996 by Apple. "Allegro will be a significant release. We will focus squarely on performance and on making sure the Mac OS is most efficient OS we can deliver. We will work to extend our leadership in user interface experience and further integrate the Internet [into the OS]," Lowe said. As previously reported, Mac OS 8.1 includes an improved drive file system called HFS+ that increases the space available for files and support for an industry-wide universal file system called UDF (Universal Disk Format) that is required for reading files from DVD drives. The upgrade also fixes minor bugs and improves Java compatibility. Apple can now lay claim to being the first major vendor to ship an OS with built-in DVD support. However, while the company is expected to incorporate DVD-ROM drives into most of its Macintosh desktop and notebook lines, such systems have yet to be announced. DVD-ROMs can store up to 4.7GB of multimedia data, while CD-ROMs can hold a maximum of around 650MB. Apple officials say a number of performance enhancements have been made, including the ability to launch applications more quickly. "In some applications, we've seen as high as 50 percent reductions in time needed to launch," said Lowe. Lowe also claimed files and data will move faster across a network. Mac OS 8.1 now incorporates Apple's latest Java virtual machine, called MRJ 2.0, for better Java performance. The new JVM enables users to run Java applications and mini-programs called "applets" using a Web browser or Apple's Applet Runner software. The upgrade is be free to current Mac OS 8.0 customers, via Apple's Web site; a CD installation disk is expected to be available in February for $19.95 along with the full retail version of the Mac OS software.

Date: Fri, 16 Jan 1998 02:11:46 -0000 From: EvangeList <evangelist@apple.com> Subject: Tidbit - Mac Used as Backup University DNS Server Keyword: Advocacy, Why Macs Are Better This tidbit is from: Greg Francis, <francis@gonzaga.edu> Last September, two weeks into school, our Unix-based DNS server suffered a disk failure on Friday evening at 5:00pm. I offered to set up and configure a new DNS server to be used temporarily while the Unix server was repaired. By 7:30pm, I had hauled a PowerMac 6500 from my lab down to central computing, downloaded and installed QuickDNS Pro (Demo), and pulled a backup copy of the DNS entries from a secondary DNS server and imported them into QuickDNS Pro. After doing that, we realized that the Unix server had also been used as a mail router for the Novell servers on campus. In another ten minutes, I had downloaded Eudora Internet Mail Server and had it routing mail. All services were restored within three hours of the system failure. Most of the time was spent getting the DNS tables from backup tape and then ultimately a secondary server that we didn't have the password for. It also took some time to locate QuickDNS Pro and download it since we had lost DNS services. Needless to say, our director was impressed. The Mac did well enough that the two days expected downtime of the Unix server ultimately stretched out to two months before it was placed back in service and the Mac was returned to my lab. During that time, it handled DNS for more than 1500 computers in three domains. While I can't recommend a Mac as a permanent DNS server for that large of installation, it's ease of configuration and setup make it an excellent backup DNS server and would do a great job as the primary DNS server in a smaller setting. BTW, at my previous employer which is nearly 100% Mac, they permanently replaced the Unix DNS/Mail/News server with a Mac to simplify administration. It easily handles mail and DNS for the 60+ computers used there and I haven't heard of a single problem.

Date: Mon, 19 Jan 1998 16:10:58 -0000 From: EvangeList <evangelist@apple.com> Subject: Tidbit - Good Quote on Mac Plug 'n' Play Keyword: Advocacy, Why Macs Are Better This tidbit is from: Kenneth T. Lim, <CM2001@cybrmda.com> Jeffery Harrow, a Senior consulting engineer at Digital writes a growing and influential weekly email column called the The Rapidly Changing Face of Computing (can be found at <http://www.digital.com/rcfoc>. and in CMP's TechWeb newsletter) I excerpted the following pro-Mac from his latest column... "This brings me to an important point -- and a significant opportunity (necessity?) for traditional PC hardware and software manufacturers: With more and more information appliances landing in the hands of business and home users who would throw up their hands at a DOS command line or at configuring IRQs, make things simpler! ! ! "That's my challenge to our industry for 1998 and beyond. Make things simpler. Everyone will benefit. For example, I wanted to add a new video card to one of my PCs to give it NTSC video in-and-out capabilities. I won't bore you with the horrors of what plug and play did to my system, but suffice to say I ended up pulling the video card. These types of difficulties will keep people from buying products that contribute to every vendor's bottom line. (These complexities are the result of the historic PC architecture, but there are better ways. After all, I've never had a problem installing any board on my Macintoshes.) "

Evo ti jedno poređenje: (nedavno mi je stigao katalog MacZone, a isto možeš proveriti i na njihovom site-u www.maczone.com) Mašina koju si ti kupio kod njih košta između 1550 i 1600$. A evo šta oni oni prodaju za nekih 300$ više (neka razlika sa isporukom u Beogradu bude i veća, ali ti proceni sam): Novi Apple sa novim G3 čipom na 233 MHz (po MacBench-u, procesor je brži nego onaj iz 8600 na 300 MHz). Na ploči je i novi keš na 117 MHz. Dobijaš 32 Mb SDRAM-a, hard od 4 Gb, 2Mb video memorije (max 4), interni Zip drive, 24x CD-rom, 10 Base T Ethernet, preinstaliran System 8. Apple kaže da je ova mašina optimizovana da izvuče maximum baš iz novog OS-a. Pa sad ti vidi...

Instaliraoi sam FWB CD-ROM Toolkit 3.0 i moram da priznam da je jedno 100 puta bolji od originalnog sistemskog rešenja. :( Naravno, ima keševe (čak i za svaki disk pojedinačno) a najbolje u svemu tome je što može da butuje mašinu sa diska (nisam čitao uputstvo da li radi neki short-cut) i to iz StartupDisc-a. Audio player mu je, opet, bolji a dobije se ekvilajzer sa kojim on-line možete da se iživljavate do mile volje. Preporučujem bilo koju verziju...

A evo šta oni oni > prodaju za nekih 300$ više (neka razlika sa isporukom u Beogradu bude i veća Sigurno je veća, a na to treba dodati carinu i porez tako da to otprilike izađe toliko. Doduše, zaboravio sam koliko je jalex tačno platio 4400. Prodaja starih Mekova (a 4400 se već smatra starim jer se više ne proizvodi) je zeznuta kod nas. Pre neki mesec je jedan tip prodavao 9500/132 sa 80 MB RAM-a i 2 GB diskom, ovi iz moje firme mu nudili 4000 DEM, kasnije i 4500 DEM, ali nije hteo. Posle nešto više od mesec dana mu je naleteo tip iz Dan Designa i pazario istu mašinu, ali samo sa standardnih 16 MB za 5500 DEM. Šta je tu problem? Upravo taj što ta mašina, realno, ne vredi toliko, ja im ne bih dao ni 3500 DEM, ali pošto ih nema na tržištu možeš da čekaš nekog kome je potrebna i da tražiš veće pare. Nažalost, ovo ne važi za mog ci-a i ostale 68k Mekove. Kad sam već kod toga, ako čujete da neko hoće da kupi ci-a sa 20 MB RAM-a i 1 GB diskom, prosledite mi ga.

Our company has been using QuickMail LAN for in-house e-mail for several years between two locations, one in Silicon Valley and the other in Texas. But as our volume of business from clients on the net increased we decided to bring up full internet standards e-mail for everyone on the network. Last fall we got approval to get a 256K Frame Relay line installed (yeah!). Our network in the Texas office is ALL Mac. Even our AutoCAD designer uses a PC card in his 8500, so needless to say I was looking for a Mac solution. The problem was that so late in the budget year we did not have any funds to allocate to a new e-mail server. Bummer. A quick call to our MIS guy in California revealed that there was an old SE-30 gathering dust which we could transfer to my office. I upgraded to a larger spare hard drive, increased the RAM to 20MB using spare SIMMS and loaded Sytem 7.5.3. We now had a 10 year old Mac with a recent OS and sufficient RAM at ZERO cost other than one hour of time! Now that SE-30 which has seen a LOT of use over the last 10 years is running the free Eudora SMTP/POP server for 10 local staff, 16 outside sales persons and since we have two domains it is also acting as a mail auto-forwarder for 100 headquarters staff so mail misaddressed to our domain is automatically and painlessly sent to the correct recipient in the California domain. The Mac advantage is that, in a pinch, the oldest harware can be pressed into faithful service. Try that with your old 286 machine :-).
