I'm interested in an accelerator for an SE and am
trying to find out what is the cheapest (but
still compatable).  I've already got an FPU.
So, I don't need that.  (Actually I've already got
a CPU but I doubth they would sell it without one).

Any suggestions would be welcome (email would be fine)

Thanks,

I tried this for a while in our lab - it didn't work too well.

1) If (while in Icon or Small Icon view) you pressed the first letter of the
folder which contains the System Folder, that folder would be selected, and
you could open it using Command-O.

2) If you are in View by Kind,Date,etc, the folder will still show, and you
can double-click on the kind (folder) or Last Modified date or click on the
triangle to see the contents.


Many mac-lab managers need a simple, password-protected System Folder.
Something easy to install, and INIT perhaps. When you open the System Folder,
it prompts you for a password before opening. When I get my copy of Think C
and a semester of studying done, maybe I'll have something :-).

	I've tried posting to my local help group, but noone seems to know the
answer so I figured I'd try going global.
	I'm running an SE/30 with a Cabletron Systems SCSI ethernet connector
and and Imagewriter plugged into the modem port.  My network has a Next
(running NextStep 2.0) and a Next laserwriter.  When I was running 7.0.1
I could print to the laserwriter fine.  Then I installed 7.1 and I
couldn't print to the laserwriter anymore.  Someone told me to replace
the Laserwriter extension with the one shipped with System 7.0.1 (I think
it's Laserwriter 7.1.1).  I tried that and it still didn't work.  Then I
tried reinstalling 7.0.1 on one of my hard drives and printing from that.
 Now I can't print from that either.

	Here's what's working:
	- Ethertalk works great 'cause I can mount Appletalk volumes and I can
ftp and telnet...both to and from my computer.
	- Appletalk works for the same reasons.
	- My Imagewriter works just dandy.
	- I can print the same documents from a Quadra also connected to the
Laserwriter.

	Here are the symptoms:
		- When I choose Print a dialog, 'Looking for Laserwriter...' pops up,
then one that says 'Status: Setting Up' or something like that.  This
second dialog box stays on forever (just keeps flashing - screen redraw).
	- Sometimes I can cancel by hitting Cmd-(.), but sometimes I have to
restart.
	- Sometimes (after about ten minutes) a dialog box pops up saying 'There
was a printing error ..."
	- This problem occurs in any document, Freehand to TeachText.

Does anyone know what the problem might be?  Do I need to set anything in
Page Setup?  Any help would be appreciated (I am at the point of shooting
my computer!).

                    STARTING UP A SOFTWARE COMPANY

I am considering starting up a software company. The company would
initially be based on a shrink-wrapped 50-100$ educational/game software
for the PC and the Macintosh markets.

To get the project going I need to get some investment in - hence, a
business plan is called for. I am looking for any information
investors can be interested in. For example:

* MARKET DATA: 
        - number of shrink-wrapped software companies.
        - what is their annual average sales? 
        - how many have received venture capital financing?
        - how many of them went public?
        - some figures about the number of software packages sold in the PC 
          and on the Mac markets for similar products (successes and 
          failures).  

* PRODUCT: 
        - availability of similar products.
        - development costs.
        - packaging costs.
        - other costs...

* SALES: 
        - who are the main whole-sellers/mail-order companies?
        - usual percentage maker gets from whole-seller and mail order
          companies.
        - what is the distribution channel percentage?
        - how difficult is to get such companies to sell your software?

* And of course important CONTACTS.

etc. etc. etc. 

Any references to books, magazines, articles or good ole personal
experience on this subject would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks,

Your chance to have some input into UK/European scene:

It is obvious by the number of questions (and often the basic nature of some of
them) on the net that end-users do not find the answers they want from
education resellers/dealers. In an attempt to better the perspective &
knowledge base of European education dealers I am working with Apple to produce
a European "Solutions Guide" for the reseller base. To be included in this
guide will be a number of case studies on the utilization of Macs in the
University setting. 

As I hail from an Australian University (The University of Queensland)I have
much to learn about the Mac events in the UK and Europe and I could use some
help from the locals. The chance to let Apple hear what is going on from the
users themeselves is too good to miss! Too often it is the marketing boys who
tell us what they think we would think is interesting!

If you have an interesting project going or know of an interesting Macintosh
related project (in UK/ Europe) I would love to hear from you via e-mail!  

Many thank in anticipation.

It's awkward, but at least some of this can be done with a hack
called the "TOM INIT II" ... TOM means "tear-off menus", I guess.

I tried it for a while, but ended up dividing up screen use between
B&W text apps that can be driven from the keyboard and menu-intensive
stuff that looks better on my main monitor anyway.  Two menubars would 
be nice, though.  Multiple monitors also make the X- and MS- Windows
"in-window" menu style look more attractive.

This may be a stupid question, but here it goes anyway: If

Obviously Apple must be working on them, but it seems a little
unfair that once everyone has bought their Powerbooks and Duos
yet another line of laptops will come out, making even the 
impressive Duo system seem a little obsolete. What's the story
here, how long before these things come out? If colour PB's are

As I remember, there are two movies files that you also have to put
in the same folder as the new Scrapbook file.  The documentation isn't
very clear about this.  Look on your QuickTime disk and you'll see right
away which files they are.

The documentation says that after I drag the QuickTime

I would reset your monitor control panel to colors....then restart...then
play with the desktop patterns again...

If that fails, restart with no extensions (hold down shift at startup) and if
it is in color, you know there is still a file left in your extensions or
control panels folder.

The font that Apple uses in their product literature is a custom font called

It definatley is a very sexy font. =)

Most authorized Apple dealers receive a CD from Apple that contains the
product literature in a Aldus PageMaker format - they usually include that
sexy font on the CD also. =)

Hope this helps.

Being in a country that some unkind people liken to the "boonies" [just 
head south from Australia, and if you've hit Antarctica, you've gone 
too far], I'm interested in ordering a Powerbook 145 direct from the 
States. [I'll be honest - I can do without local "support" (I use the 
term in a meaningless sense) - and I want to know if I can save money - 
being an impoverished teacher].

SO....is there anyone out there who can point me in the right direction 
for ordering from the States, AND give an indication of likely costs?

Thanks for your help.
