I believe that the information shows up in the "Get Info" box, NOT the
"About this Macintosh" window.

Easiest way is to hold down command-option-p-r while booting. This resets
paramter RAM to default state, which is VM off (The mac will issue the
reset sound TWICE, when you do so. Release the keys after the second
sound). But are you sure that VM is the problem?

At this point, the best thing to do IMHO is to wait for System 7.1.  Both Chinese and Japanese systems will be available.  

Apple doesn't have a TrueType font for Chinese yet, but the old fonts that come with the Font Option Kit for Chinese (available on some of the Developers CD's) work just fine with both System 7.1 and ChineseTalk II.

Of late when I install self extracting archive apps on my mac (under 7.0) and  
attempt to run them I get an error of -50 from the finder and of course the app  
does not extract the files it contains. 

1) What is an error -50? Why am I getting this? Are the files corrupt?
2) What is the workaround to extract the files from the app?

I have struggled for the past couple of days to upgrade a MacII from system 
6.0.5 to System 7.0.1.  Well, I thought I had a stable system after finding all
the existing incompatibilities and annihilating them.

So I go to do some work on the machine, and I try to print to a networked
LaserWriter, and WHAM!!!  "PrintMonitor has unexpectedly quit because an error
of type 15 has occured."  Then to add insult to injury, (as if it is laughing
at me) every 5 seconds the error box reappears!! (Because the Spool file is
still in the PrintMonitor Documents folder.  The error stops flashing when I
remove the spool file)

Oh, I must say, What!?! is going on here?  Error 15 is a segment loader error.
BTW, I did turn off all my extensions when testing this thing.
Somebody, oh, somebody, PuLeeaSe know what to do and tell me.  My week has been
bad enough already without having to spend time having to argue with 
my system software about how to do its job.

Prices are changing - the difference in price isn't big any longer, at least
not here.
We get a Quadra for about the same price as a '486,  the price issue  is
marginal.

The point is:
Most people who have bought a PC-type machine last year will have to 
at least upgrade  (if not buy a new machine altogether) to run NT.
Those who have a Mac don't have to buy a new machine to use System 7.
(or system 8 when that arrives).
This has to be added to the equation.

System 7 gives most people what they need. I don't know exactly what NT
will offer, but I have a feeling that the things that NT has and Sys7 doesn't
(if any - OK, multitasking) most people will not  need.

Sure!  And according to this, all Germans, Italians, etc. should be shot in
the head.  As there have been fascist groups in all or almost all countries

    They have the same number of expansion slots, one. The LCII has only
a PDS slot ant the IIsi has a slot that can be adapted to either PDS or
NuBus.

    Another thing to point out is the fact that the LCII has dedicated
Video RAM for driving monitors where the IIsi has to use it's standard
RAM. However there is a tradeoff since the IIsi can access up to 17MB of
RAM and the LCII is limited to 10MB.

I belive the error code 
0000000F
00000003
Indicates a bad driver map, bad patition signature or bad directory block.

Perhaps Notron utilities will detect the drive if Norton is booted from the
floppy and can repair it....

Also a good disk drive managment tool such as LaCie Silverlining should be
able to rewrite the drivers...and test for bad blocks and map them out...

If all else fails you must either reformat or replace the drive or bad
hardware.

good Luck...

To send mail to an AppleLink address, say 'bingo', simply mail to 'bingo@
applelink.apple.com'. It's that simple, and it works like any internet mail. 
Be carful to keep the mail size below 32K, since internet mail is delivered 
completely as text to the AppleLink application, and this one has a 32K text 
limit.

There is a control panel at sumex-aim.stanford.edu in the path

The documentation describes several potential menu related conflicts, you

If you have ussed this little cdev, you may NOT have noticed that there are 2
screens available in it. When you originally invoke Pop-Char, you see the
standard screen showing all the caharacters in the active font. If you move the
mouse pointer to the far right upper corner, the word "More" appears.  If you
click on it, you get a display that allows you to create a string of
characters, rather than the single character that screen one is designed for.

Netters...

I use MacTools 2.0 and have noticed that lately the scan on startup has

applications after which I started up to find the message...

Sorry, a system error has ocurred
      "HP Background"

The only way I could recover was to restart with a floppy containing a
system (I use 7.0.1 .. tuned-up) and remove the Central Point Anti-Virus
control panel or the HP Background document. I replaced the HP Background
document, but this did not help. I removed and replaced the Anti-Viral
stuff. With a clean copy of the Anti-Viral utility and control panel,
everything worked fine, but as soon as I installed the T4 virus def.
things degraded and the same bus error occurred.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
