I just don't like all those '.' invisible files cluttering up my
home directory :-)

Howzabout a two-level solution?  For those files that would be
reasonable to expect the user to edit or want to see: 

~/Library/AppName/junkfiles

Otherwise, for files that should be invisible:

~/Library/.AppName/junkfiles

Of course, if an application already has visible files
available, then it should be:

~/Library/AppName/visibleJunk
~/Library/AppName/.junkfiles 

Just don't clutter up my root home directory.
It's enough of a mess as it is!

I would be most appreciative if someone could point me to the latest  
information on SIMMs for the NeXT.  I recently ordered some SIMMs for a new  
black/white Turbostation and, of course, got the wrong parts.  If there is
a defintive note "out there somewhere" I would like to know in order to prevent  
such mistakes in the future.  Thanks for your help!

I understand from someone in the computer store here (and also from the
fact that their ancient display model is gone and there "authorized NeXT
dealer" thingy eventually disappeared) that Brown no longer sells NeXTs.
They referred me to MIT who, they said, had better prices anyway. The 
reason for discontinued service? "They didn't sell well - we sold ONE"

Sorry but this is a generic solution so I'll clutter up the group.

If you are not worried about looks I suggext getting a PC clone case.
A half tower or something along those lines.  They have plenty of drive
drive bays and usually a 200 watt power supply.  All you need to supply
is the cabling for SCSI, there are usually 4 of the standard power cables.

These case work great and give the option of expandability.

The only real concern is head alignment on the internal drive - but

Do make sure that the cooling fins on the bottom are against a

I thought I'd mention that while I attended Oregon State
University a while back, they may have had the "ideal"
campus NeXT reseller for the following reasons:

1) There was always a NeXT machine on display (open for use)
2) They were always aware of current software/hardware
   versions and upgrades.
3) If they didn't know technical answers, they were quick
   to refer people to the campus NeXT rep.
4) While they didn't stock much, they *always* explained
   that they could order machines, and were *up front* about
   how long it would take to get in.
5) Complete catalogs were available, as were price and spec 
   sheets; they even gave away free NeXTworld mags on premiere
   issue day! 

Maybe other dealers/campus stores could take a lesson?
I've been a NeXT fan since day one, and probably always
will be, so it would be nice to see these campus stores
and local dealers push hard for NeXT.

So how about some kind soul putting the MIME stuff on sonata or some
other emailable system for those of us that are ftp challenged?  Or if
it already is on such a system, please email me with the specifics.

By the way, I can hardly wait until some vendor provides a MIME-capable
news reader.  Then all these arguments about the net bandwidth are going
to just explode.  I think that c.s.n.m has been at least semi-responsible
with NG postings.  Unfortunately my opinion is that all of the net will
not be so lucky.

Do you think that there will be a .mime newsgroup for every c.s.* group?

   That's what I thought you meant.

   I still think it's a stingy choice to only use four SIMM slots
   for the cube Turbo board.  Since the primary choice, economically
   speaking, would be 4 and 8 MB SIMMs at this time, the effective
   max RAM is 32 MB, which is a (another) step backward for the new
   board.

Yep.  I tried explaining this to some NeXT employees at NeXTworld.
They came to the conclusion that there were more than 4 slots in the
machines.  Stuff like this really make me want to go out and plunk
down $8K on machine just so I can spend $$$ on 16MB SIMMs to get 32MB
of RAM.

Here's my computer upgrade path.

C64 -> C128 -> VCR.

Basically, I decided several years ago not to buy another computer
until after college because they become obsolete so quickly.  It's
pretty damn foolish to spend $5K on a machine that will be obsolete in
24 months.  50 mips and Realtime Renderman is just going to make you
wish you had 100 mips, which in 24 months will cost you an equal
amount of money.

The same thing has been happening to me lately. The ownership of my  
external HD and everything on it changes to whoever loged in last.  It  
must not be happening every time, though, because I found out when I was  
told that I didn't have permission for a file on the external that I use  
often.  I checked into it and found that everything was owned by one of  
the other users on my machine.  It seems like it happens often, but not  
every time.  I'm root here too, so the other usrs aren't doing it.

Worse yet, the writer might have had it right, but a copy editor then might  
have seen "Mach operating system kernel", assumed that "Mach" was a typo for  
"Mac", and made the 'correction' to "Macintosh". Don't laugh; I've had copy

When I called Wolfram Research, via their normal phone number, non 1-800-  
I got the run around quite a bit.  I then finally got to some one in the  
correct department. (which I'm not sure what it was)  They asked me if I  
had any problems with the MMA I was using at current.  I said no, but I  
wanted the new MMA so I could just load the 'thin kernal' to save my self  
time etc.  (I thought it was a valid reason)  They told me that I had to  
have something wrong with the program and just because I wanted to save  
myself time, that was not good enough to warrant a new copy of MMA  
2.0.4.5.  Anyway, thought you guys might like to know.  If I find  
something wrong I shall call back, but I guess I won't waste my time or my  
phone bill on trying to make up a reason to get a new version.

Millionth? Didn't they recently announced having sold their three
millionth machine?

I didn't see that but here's what I use. In a terminal window, as root, I  
enter:
dump 0uf - /dev/rsd0a | compress >/HomeBackup/910616-level0.dump.Z

HomeBackup is an optical disk and I name the file to correspond to the backup  
date.
