Installer Print Options
Intermediate
Perhaps you're the type who's enthralled by license agreements -- so
enthralled, in fact, that you like to keep a copy on hand for later
reading. You know that you can print the license agreement within an
Apple installer by clicking the Print button but probably didn't know
that if you hold down the Option key the Print button adopts an
ellipses that provides a gateway to a Page Setup dialog box. This
dialog box allows you to select a page size, scale the size of the
page your printer outputs, and choose horizontal or vertical
orientation.

I naravno da znam sve to što si rekao ali ovde je problem što mi program
Apple HD CS Setup izgleda traži eksterni hard. Dakle, ostaje mi problem

gotovo nikakav izbor SCSI varijanti i eto ja već par meseci muku mučim
sa non-Apple drajverom a da imam 4400 lepo bih otišao kod nekog dilera
i izabrao između par modela raznih proizvođača i oni bi mi lepo radili
sa Apple-im drajverom (Teac, Panasonic...). I to duplo brže od ovog mog

Za početak probaj da update-uješ HDT-ov driver na verziju 2.5.3, jer tek ta

te verzije. Nisam probao, pa ne mogu da garantujem.

Ovo ti (verovatno) neće biti neka pomoć, al jebiga... bolje išta nego ništa.
Lutam ja tako Internetom i naletim na neki program koji ima neku vrstu
'univerzalnog' drajvera za sva ta sranja od externih storage sistema. Ono što
je problem je što ne mogu da se setim gde sam to video. Jedino što mogu da te
'posavetujem' je da OBAVEZNO odeš do FWB-ovog site-a, možda su čak i oni
izbacili tako nešto, a možda su i dali link. Probaj i na ZDNet-u, ako već nisi.
A ono, ako nemaš vremena, daj user i password za sledeću noć (normalno ovde u
conf ;) ) pa ćemo da se potrudimo da pronađemo taj drajver.
mac.3611ljubisha,

Bio sam i tamo i nisam naišao na to. Ustvari, za verziju 2.5 kaže
da podržava taj uređaj. Samo kako (probao sam naravno i on ga vidi
ali ništa više od toga - ne pepoznaje čak ni veličinu kertridža).

Nije mi jasno šta tačno želiš da postigneš, tj. kakvo particionisanje da

CD je ugrađen u iMac (24x). Iomega je najavila proizvodnju ZIP drajva koji će
se kačiti na USB. SyQuest je najavio novi drajv sa kertridžima od 1 GB za USB.
Još jedna firma je najavila drajv koji će koristiti Mac foramtirane diskete i
disketu u svom formatu od 120 MB. UMAX je najavio jeftini skener za USB. Još
kada USB lagano postane standard i na PC-u, a postaće vrlo brzo, imaćeš
proizvoda koliko hoćeš. Jeftine tastature i miševi, na primer. Mada, ja nikada
ne bih menjao moju sedam godina staru Apple Extended tastaturu ni za koju
drugu. B)

Bojim se ništa. Osim nadogradnje RAM-a, ništa se više ne može menjati niti
dodavati.

A da li SCSI ili Mount Everything neće da mountuju kertridž? Takođe, probaj
foru koja pali kod ZIP-a: pre nego što uključiđ mašinu ubaci kertridž u drajv.
To bi trebalo da natera Meka da pročita drajver sa kertridža i mountuje
volume. Inače, za taj model ne znam gde bi mogao da pronađeš INIT.
mac.3617madamov,

Kakav je to Linux format? Daj tačno šta klikćeš u Apple HD Setupu, pa tako

Takav hard bi kasnije trebao da radi svuda (i na pc-u). E sad,
valjda sam Linux zahteva određeni način particionisanja. Ima
Root particiju i još jednu (ili dve) ali sad zaboravih kako se
zove. Da bih to uradio treba mi Apple HD CS Setup (piše u
uputstvu za instalaciju) ali on ne konstatuje interni hard.
Barem meni neće. :(

Možda tvoja i jeste star samo 7 godina ali je ci izašao 89-te. A

Neće. Uređaj sam morao da priključim interno tako da sam silom

Nemam pojma jer nisam ni ušao u program. Kad ga startujem on mi
odmah prijavi da nije pronašao Apple hard iako sam par sati pre toga
isti legalno formatirao sa Apple-ovim Drive Setup-om.

Hot PowerBooks
Intermediate
Owners of the newest PowerBook G3 models may have noticed that the
bottom of these babies gets mighty roasty after being turned on for
awhile. Is this a potential problem?
According to Apple, no, any laptop with this kind of processing muscle
is going to get warm. However, herre are three things you can do to
keep your new PowerBook as comfortable as possible:
1. Use the PowerBook on a flat, hard surface rather than on a soft
surface such as a towel, ottoman, or pillow. On a hard surface air
flows under the computer and helps cool it off. If you obstruct this
narrow airway the PowerBook may get hotter than is good for it.
2. If you can stand the performance hit, turn processor cycling on in
the Energy Saver control panel and also select Reduce Processor Speed.
3. Finally, a charging battery produces a bit more heat. If you can't
stand the heat while you're working, charge the battery when the
PowerBook is sleeping or turned off.

I'm sure a lot of folks are already aware that you can drag & drop

John:
My office has 9 Macs/2 PC's. All the Macs are PowerPC, running Mac OS8.1.
The PC's are Pentiums configured to boot from either Windows 3.1, Win95,
NT 3.5, or NT 4.0. We've been running a mixed environment of Mac/PC's for
more than a decade.
Presently, we're using a Mac server (a stock PPC 7600/132/48 RAM) running
AppleShare IP 5.x (we had been running AS 3.5 up until a month ago with
no problems!). We use Miramar Systems PCMacLan on the PC's. The server
also runs Retrospect to do backups to DAT, Zip, and Jaz media.
IMHO, the Mac server (Mac+Win) is the way to go. Appleshare IP is easy to
set up, easy to maintain, and highly reliable.
Note: Can't say that for the 2 PC's; although I have NT4.0 server, after
examining the set up requirements and studying the documentation, I
quickly dismissed any notion of using NT server. Just too complicated
when a simpler and just as effective alternative (and better) exists.
As for file sharing on the PC's, I like PC MacLan, but others like/use
DAVE. I don't know what DAVE can do, but PC MacLan allows me to set the
PC drives to be shared, similar to file sharing on Mac. This feature
allows Retrospect to mount the volumes during backup and for the Mac
stations to see the PC files. PC MacLan also allows the PC's to mount the
server and other Mac workstations. (It tries to be more Mac-like than
PC-like.) You can also edit server-folder privileges and it supports long
file names.
You won't have trouble sharing / reading / opening Excel, Word, and
PowerPoint files if you are using compatible versions of MSOffice on both
platforms (Office 98 on the Mac, Office 97 for Windows). Just save the
files in their native file format; no special "save as" required. I'm not
sure about MSProject.
We store all files (including PC) on the server. Applications (except for
some muliuser databases we employ) reside on the respective workstation.
Thus all files are saved to and launched from the server. With the size
network you indicated, Appleshare will be plenty robust. You might want
to use a G3 server. (That's my next purchase.)
There's also Timbuktu, which actually allows you to control a PC from a
Mac over the network. I haven't used Timbuktu lately (MacLan meets our
needs), but I used to use it sometimes to "run" one of the PCs over the
network. I certainly would not advise that as a turnkey solution, but it
was a low-tech way (and interesting) to check the behavior or a specific
program problem on Windows while viewing it on the Mac.
Last but not least, you should consider backup strategy. The presence of
Retrospect should be a clincher for a Mac+Win solution. It's easy to use,
fast and powerful and supports Windows workstation clients.
If I had my druthers (Southern USA slang, I am from Nashville), I would
get rid of the PC's and use Macs only. Now this is anecdotal, but the
support to keep our two PC's running--just running--has consumed approx.
90% of the total support time spent on all computers. However, since so
much of the world--andmost of my customer base--is Windows crazy, I need
the two PC's to test operating system anomalies like DLL conflicts,
printer set ups, and just plain technical support for a vertical market
application we offer.

Evo šta kaže uputstvo:
The two most important partitions are swap and root Đ you cannot run MkLinux
without these. The swap partition is used as backing store for the MkLinux
virtual memory system. The root partition holds the core elements of the
MkLinux system: utilities, drivers, etc.
A za particionisanje:
Creating the partitions in preparation for installing MkLinux will require
your becoming intimately familiar withacintosh (and which we've
included on the CD-RO).ttchtysewid in pon p ou Yl idvanced (e.g., custom)
modesn reseLi
(imam sistem 7.5 i 8 na CDu i nigde nema tog HD SC Setup programa :( )
A sve bi to trebalo da liči na:
+-----------------+
| Partition Map |
+-----------------+
| Driver |
+-----------------+
| Root (slice 0) | <== root partition (100+ MB; 400+ if no usr
partition)

| Usr (slice 2) | <== Optional usr partition (350+ MB)

Flopi disketu nisam uzeo u ruke sigurno par meseci. I to kad mi je poslednji
put flopi drajv bio potreban, nije bio za mene i posao kojim se bavim, već sam
snimao drajver za Linotronic (tačnije PPD za Linotype Hell 560) jednom
prijatelju kako bi mogao da filmuje nešto kod nas u firmi (a filmovanje nije
moj deo posla). Za ličnu upotrebu nije problem to što nema flopi, već ti treba
neki uređaj za bekap (teško da ćeš bekapovati 4 GB disk na flopi diskete), a
kako iMac nema SCSI tu nastaje problem. Zato je značajno za bekap i razmenu
podataka što će postojati ZIP drajv za USB, za bekap je super što će postojati
i kertridž od 1 GB itd. Dakle, argument sa disketom otpada, čak i u našim
uslovima je Internet toliko razvijen da slanje fajla mailom koji bi stao na
disketu ima opravdanja. Veća je greda što nema SCSI, ali bi iMac onda sigurno
značajno više koštao i ispao bi iz projektovane cene.

Aman, čoveče, Drive Setup je naslednik Apple HD SC Setupa. Treba samo videti
koji tip particije treba da se napravi (verovatno za A/UX, Appleov UNIX, jer
stari Apple HD SC Setup nije ni umeo da particionira disk tako da imaš dve Mac

Jesam u pravu. Taj što će da kupi Quark neće da kupi mašinu od 1300 dolara bez
SCSI sklopa. Njemu treba profi mašina, a iMac to nije. A kao što rekoh, ako to

"You may" znači "možete", a me morate da koristite HD SC Setup. Prema tome,
samo je pitanje koja vrsta particije treba da se formira, a ne kojim softverom
treba da se formira. Hoću da kažem, HDT bi morao da ume da je napravi.

Netscape Logo Hack
Power User
If you click on Netscape Communicator's logo (the one in the upper
right corner of the main browser window) you'll be whisked away to
Netscape's homepage. But perhaps you'd prefer to venture elsewhere
when you touch this cosmic icon. Easy enough. Just:
Make a copy of Communicator and move the original to a safe place
should you somehow muck this up. Now open the copy with ResEdit. Open
the TEXT resource and then double-click on ID 3011, the config
resource. In the resulting window you'll see, among other things, this
entry:
config("toolbar.logo.url","http://home.netscape.com/")
This tells the Netscape button where to take you when clicked. To
change that destination simply enter a new URL. Perhaps something such
as:
config("toolbar.logo.url","http://www.macworld.com/")
Now when you launch the copy of Communicator and click on the Netscape
logo you'll find yourself smack-dab in the middle of your favorite

Generally speaking, most Mac apps should be Y2K compliant. The operating
system defines time in terms of seconds since January 1, 1904. Since the
time is stored as an unsigned 32-bit integer, that gives somewhat over 4
billion seconds before the clock "rolls around". If you do the math
(2^32/60/60/24/365), you get about 136 years, or until 2040.
The problems that will arise will probably involve applications that do
date calculations with two digit dates. All the Mac code I've seen (and
written) bases its date calculations on either the second clock, or the OS
routines for converting the second clock into a date. Some apps may also
use a two character input field -- like the little up/down thing in the
Date & Time Control panel, which might not work properly.
Incidentally, newer OS routines provide for date calculations spanning from
30,081 B.C. to 29,940 A.D. I'm sure OS 15789.6.1 will remove this painful
limitation.

Subject: Tidbit - Xerox Has Gotten the Message
Keyword: Advocacy, Why Macs Are Better
This tidbit is from:
Carl Maniscalco, <caman@earthlink.net>
I recently worked a temporary job at a high-speed copy/quick print firm,
filling in for their resident designer while he was on vacation.
Among the equipment in the shop was a Xerox Docutech 40. This is a very
expensive, high-end piece of equipment which can be used either as a
standard color copier or, through a software RIP (Raster Image Processor,
a device which interprets PostScript language files and converts them
into a form the printer can understand), as a high-resolution color
PostScript laser printer. Xerox offers two different RIPs for this
machine; the Fiery RIP, running on a Pentium II/Windows NT computer, or
the Splash RIP on a Macintosh. The firm I worked at used the Splash RIP,
which ran on a Power Mac 8600.
The second day I was there, the internal Zip drive on the 8600 gave up
the ghost. This was a relatively minor problem, but I called for service
anyway since the entire hardware/software package is leased from Xerox
and free service is included in the deal. When the field technician
arrived the following morning, he was at a bit of a loss. I actually had
to help him with some pretty basic stuff, which seemed to embarrass him
considerably.
"I'm sorry," he said "but I don't know much about the Splash. I have to
work on Fiery RIPs two or three times a week but, in the two years since
it was released, this is only the second time I've ever had to work on on
a Splash. In fact, Xerox field technicians love the Splash and we
recommend it over the Fiery whenever we're asked just for that reason."
Because of their high cost (over $100,000), these machines are often kept
running 24 hours a day, seven days a week, cranking out as much work as
possible in order to make them pay for themselves. The fact that a Mac
can hold up to this kind of use so much better than a Wintel box can is a
striking example of it's technical superiority.

"Oh, then how would I type in a web address, Mac boy?"
"Simple," I answered, "just launch the Key Caps desk accessory and
point and click your text into the window. As long as your Shift key
works and you can produce a colon character, you've got the address."
"And then what?" she sneered in her Windows sort of way. "I know, you
select and copy the text and then paste it into the browser's address
field. But there's no command in my browser to go to the site entered
in that field. And, if you recall, my Return/Enter key is busted."
"That's one reason Apple created the Connect To script," I calmly
replied. "Just select Connect To from the Apple menu, paste the
address into the Text field, and click the Connect button.
VIM-VAM-VOOM, your browser launches, navigates to that site, and
you're on your way."

Descending Order Launch

Care to have multiple documents launch in a particular order? Simple
enough. Just hold down the Shift key and click on the documents in the
reverse order you'd like them displayed and then double-click on the
last document you selected. For example, if in AppleWorks you want to
display documents 1, 2, and 3 with document 1 the last to open (and
therefore at the top of the pile), Shift-click on documents 3, 2, and
1 and double-click on document 1.

iMac Nixes Keyboard Reset
Intermediate
Mac mavens know that you can force an emergency restart of a Macintosh
by pressing the keyboard's Command-Control-Power Keys--not so with the
iMac. Because the iMac uses a USB keyboard this trick won't work. In
order to perform an emergency restart of your iMac you must open the
door on the side of the iMac, locate the reset hole (it's marked with
a triangle symbol and is placed between the Ethernet and modem ports),
and gently shove the end of a straightened paper clip into the hole.
Your iMac should restart. If it doesn't, Apple recommends that you
unplug the iMac, wait 30 seconds, plug it back it, and start up as you
normally would.

Steve Jobs, Apple's Interim CEO, will speak Tuesday, September 1, 1998
from 9:00am-10:00am at San Francisco Marriott in the Yerba Buena

UCLA has demonstrated that four linked G3s can outprocess a CRAY
Supercomputer at a fraction of the price.
UCLA's study showed that a cluster of four Macs now has the same
computational power (and twice the memory) as one of the best
supercomputers of eight years ago, a four-processor CRAY Y-MP. The cost
for the Mac set-up was also much cheaper, as low as $45/Mflop. Used in
the study were Power Mac G3/266s with 288 MB RAM and 6GB hard drives...

Keeping Up to Date
Intermediate
If you're a typical Mac user you've got a load of old software stashed
away on your hard drive. Wouldn't it be swell if you could update all
your old applications, control panels, extensions, and system software
in one fell swoop? Well, if you're willing to pay the price, you can.
Simply download a copy of Insider Software's UpdateAgent (you can find
it at http://www.macdownload.com). This utility logs onto Insider's
server, downloads a list of updates, compares this list to the version
numbers of the software you have on your hard drive, and presents you
with a list of downloadable updates. Just select the updates you want,
click the Get button, and UpdateAgent downloads the appropriate
updates.
Cost for the service is $199.95 per year for the CD Edition (handy for
those who must update a lot of Macs), $49.95 per year for the Standard
Edition (unlimited online access), and $12.95 for the One Time Edition
where you access the service a single time.

Quake Add-Ons
Intermediate
Although the fact isn't widely advertised by id or MacSoft, you can
play the alternate scenarios for Quake (those intended for PC) on your
Mac. The usual technique for doing so is to place the folder
containing the alternate scenario in the same folder as the Quake
application and then drag and drop the alternate scenario folder onto
the Quake icon.
However, this doesn't always do the trick. Here's another way:
Go ahead and place the alternate scenario folder in the same folder as
the Quake application. Now hold down the Option key and double-click
on the Quake icon (or Quake RAVE or Quake 3Dfx--whichever one you
normally use). A dialog box will appear with a field labeled Command
Line. In this field type "-game nameofgame" Leave out the quotes and
enter the real name of the game rather than "nameofgame." For example,
if I wanted to play Activision's completely cool Mission Pack No. 2:
Dissolution of Eternity, I'd place the ROGUE folder inside my Quake
folder and at the command prompt type -game ROGUE.
