Apple doesn't even make a 24-bit card for the SE/30. (Of course they don't
even make the SE/30 any more, I don't think, but they could have made some
money on the card when the SE/30 first came out...)

GifConverter 2.2.10 is a good shareware program for many things, among them
making color startup screens.  You can find it at sumex-aim.stanford.edu in
the path /info-mac/art/gif/gif-converter-229.hqx (and also grab
/info-mac/art/gif/gif-converter-229-to-2210.hqx).

Interestingly enough, my LC has started doing something like this

This works well enough, but it will count your title page as page one.  The
above procedure is for making a different first page.  To make a title page not
counted and not numbered, position your cursor at the end of the title page and
press command-enter (the enter key on the keypad). This places a double dotted
line, the section break, at that point.  With the cursor in your second
section, select the Format Section option.  Click Restart at 1.  If you want
that first page counted but not numbered, click First Page Special.

   Well, you should check with your Apple dealer, but I read that there was
   a timing problem on the PowerBooks which had something to do with their
   modem capabilities.

No, it's an interrupt-dropping problem due to a last-minute ECO that went
through on the Power Manager firmware to deal with the screen brightness
control polling.

I think. :-)

   A studio equipment shop here in London has become an Apple dealer recently
   and they are selling the PowerBooks so maybe it's all OK now.

No. A bugfix is apparently imminent, but I can't say any more. I wouldn't
trust a London dealer further than I could throw a T8 at him.

The manuals say that the minimal software is for the purpose of creating 1.4M
floppy disk to start up from. The minimal software consists of a Finder 
(the usual and *only* Finder), a System file containing only a 9-point Geneva
font, and some empty folders for Control Panels, Apple Menu, and Extensions to
go into. Since I maintain a barebones System file (using CarpetBag...other 
people use Suitcase II) on one of my partitions, I use the minimal-system
when re-installing the system software when it gets corrupted by experimental
software... it's a fast way to do the job, and does not interfere with anyh
existing Control Panels, Extensions, or other stuff except Finder Preferences.
	Minimal Software for any given Mac (say, my IIci) is SMALLER 
than the system file from the System 7 Install 1 disk... so I don't just copy
the file! [Exercise for the reader: why is this true?]

I find it hard to believe that you can fix a hardware problem by
resetting the volume through the control panel.  There may be a
hardware problem, but if the control panel fixes the sound, I think
there is also a software problem.

It is much easier for me to believe that a program could do some
temporary (software) damage to the sound mechanism that may not show
up right away.  This would account for the sound going away in several
programs.  That is, you could have a bug in one program that doesn't
cause problems until another program tries to do some sound stuff.

Once, I wrote a program that used the sound stuff incorrectly.  On
System 6, the sound would always go away after the first sound was
played.  On System 7, the sound would sometimes disappear, but not
always right away.

Here's what I did:  Created a partition, named Installer, of the same

the drive was attached to another machine).   That worked.

The charge is $0.50 for each incoming and outgoing message.  You can

I have a friend who uses both Macintosh and (don't ask me why) Windows

TrueType fonts (that's a good idea, why didn't Apple think of that...?),
and he would like to be able to convert both Postscript Type 1 fonts to
TrueType and convert the Macintosh TrueType format to Windows format
(which he says is different - I am not so sure - why call it TrueType if
it's not true TrueType?).  Anyone know of anything available
anonymous-FTP wise (or anywhere else) that can accomplish this trick? 
Also if you could point me at some FTP-able fonts, that would be a bonus.

Thanks in advance for help.

Thanks again to everyone who responded to my requests for help.  As it
turns out the System 7 tuneup installs a new chooser, and its default
is to have background printing off.  Selecting "background printing" in
the chooser solved my woes.  I haven't timed it, but my StyleWriter
certainly appears to print faster now.

On the subject of the StyleWriter, what's the preferred method for getting
a refill when the ink cartridge runs dry?  I've seen a couple of adds, but
was hoping I could find someone else who's tried one or more of the available
refill kits before I buy.

Towards the back of the January 1992 MacUser (in the small ads sections) there
is a company advertising a wide range of 'foreign' fonts (both PostScript and
TrueType if I remember).

I can't remember seeing any prices, but it looked like a very good range. I saw
this stuff while flicking through the mag about two nights ago, so if you can't
find it, and want extra info, let me know and I'll hunt it out again.

I'd also be very keen to know if you come across a public domain Thai or Kyhmer
