Hi,

i'm a big music fan und i play music by myself. Often i write music notes on
paper. 

In my company and at home i use a MAC to do difficult thinks. 

Is there a way to use a MAC to write music notes ?

Has somebody ever seen a music notes editor to write notes on the MAC. The MAC
makes a PS-File and prints at a Laserwiter.

I think PD-, SW-, or Software to pay.

Please post here or send me email!

Thanks all!

This is so true, you know. I mean, I look at MS-DOS machine with 640K of
RAM and I think, what stupid engineering---why would anyone want more than
64K? Who could ever afford it? And now Apple wants us to go to 32 bit clean
apps so we can use more than 8MB. I mean, lets get real. What possible use
could anyone EVER have for more than 8MB. It seems to me, some people just
have no touch with reality. Lets extrapolate from the past---well, in the
past no-one ever needed more than 1MB. That proves to me that Macs with
more than 1MB of RAM are unlikely to appear in the future, doesn't it?

My problem is a simple one, but one I haven't seen addressed.  Yes, I am
new to the group.

I have a need to get a .hqx (BinHex) decoder to a Mac LC II with System
7 installed.  Because of various problems, I can only download text
files.  I can uuencode a file, transfer it to a non-Mac system, uudecode
it, and transfer that file to an HFS volume, but likely the file will
have a "document" filetype when read by the LC II.

Is there a format that I can retrieve a BinHexing application in that
when I store the file on the HFS volume, the LC II will be able use it
as is?  Could I be losing important resource forks doing this?

I'm confused.

I got said application (SoundExtractor) and ran it. I used OPEN from the

With every sound. Everytime. I get a window that says an unknown error has

As others have pointed out the Micron card for the SE/30 will do this, but
the cost would be prohibitive if you just wanted 9" grayscale.

>I am thinking it is not, but how is it that the Mac
>monochrome monitor will do greyscale and the built-in
>ones won't...?

The answer is that it has nothing to do with the monitor (CRT), but with
the video memory and circuitry in the mac.  The compact macs have builtin
hardware that stores only 1 bit per pixel as a screen image in RAM.  The
circuitry is only capable of generating "on" or "off" for each dot on the
screen.  A video card (or builtin video on the Mac II & LC series) can
provide different video signal levels based on (up to) a 24-bit value stored
for each dot on the screen.  

So if you plug an Apple 12" monochrome monitor into a one of these machines
you get the exact same result you'd get if you plugged a black and white
TV into your VCR; colors appear as shades of gray.

Yeah, and if you look even closer, you'll find that the Performa 200 is
labeled "Macintosh Classic II" and the 400 is labeled "Macintosh LC".

The Macintosh naming scheme is arbitrary.  It changes on a whim and a fancy
of the management.  Consider the wonderful idea of calling the Mac II with
a 68030, the Mac IIx.  And following on with the Mac IIcx (c for compact, x
for 68030).  Then they had the SE, which instead of being upgraded to the
SE/30, should have gone to Mac SEx.  Not good marketing so they changed.

Now they have the vx which is more powerful than the vi.  (This is what all
the rumours say anyway)  Exactly the opposite to the cx and the ci just to
make things simpler.

Now we have the Classic, LC, Performa and Quaddras.  Duos on the scene reas
soon too.  Apple fights the evil PC marketroids.  Use names that sound
good.  Can't wait for the Cyclone.  I mean it SOUNDS fast.  Who cares if
its made out of flimsy plastic that breaks if you lean on it, or the fact
that it sounds like a jet engine.  I want one.  It will positively race
while I crank out those word processor documents.  Who knows.  Maybe
Microsoft products will even be as fast as Writenow on a CLASSIC!

Marketroids, do your worst.  I'm ready for you!

Interstingly enough, my biggest problem with NU 4.0 is really a problem

it might be possible to do it using a dialog box obtained via

so that the user can click on them to write the formula writing
the math symbol with the keyboard. The problem is that every time
one clicks on a list item it puts it on the far left of the Text zone
overwriting the previous text. Anyway to go around this problem.

Subject: BIG Virus Question.....

Hi to all,

Hopefully someone can help me.  I've been debating with a friend of
mine.  He says it's illegal to knowingly possess a virus, and I said
no way, it's only illegal if you maliciously distribute it.  Could anyone
be Judge Wapner and settle this case?

Sure would appreciate it,
Chuck Williams
