Hi netters...
  I need the net's wisdom here... I'm planning to get a new hard drive for my

1. Fujitsu 520MB
2. Toshiba 870MB
3. Toshiba 1.2GB
  Any experiences with these drives or with any 3.5" internals of >500MB
capacity?  What about good dealers to order from?
  Will digestify any replies...

While I normally have nothing but good things to say about APS, I don't think

I've recent read in MacUser that Quantum admits they had a problem with their

When I upgraded a Mac Plus years ago to 4 MB, I had to cut a resistor.
Is this necessary in upgrading a Mac SE?  Is it the R35 resistor?

I bought my se/30 soon after they came out and have had noticed a 
problem with random numbers. (Actually I noticed that while playing
games, things weren't as random as expected - I never had the 
problems on my plus with the same games.) So I wrote a pascal program
to simply make a list of random numbers and it looked fine. Turn the
machine of then on and you get the exact same list - is this what's
supposed to happen? 

It's not a big deal - it's been years since I last thought about it, but
it's getting annoying.

My understanding is that the PowerPC is in fact a 32-bit CPU, with 
32-bit registers, that can be scaled up to 64 bits, and that in a 
64-bit version (*not* the 601) then programs could switch between 
32-bit mode (the default, most likely) and 64-bit mode. This 
switching will be available as a user (rather than supervisor) mode 
instruction.

The way I had it explained to me (by a man from Motorola) was that
most applications would probably work in 32-bit mode (32-bit ints
being pretty much all you need most of the time) but might switch
to 64-bit mode for stuff that really needs it (bitmap operations,
maybe?)

This is all pretty consistent with what I read in the PowerPC 
article in Microprocessor Review which was published on the 1992
WWDC CD-ROM.

I haven't a clue how they plan to deal with the issues that arise
from going to 64-bit addressing though.. (i.e sizeof(void *) !=
sizeof(long))
but those problems might go away to an extent if each process has a 
seperate address space starting at zero...

I often have to hit the "P" and the delete keys especially hard
sometimes. I just took it to be the newness of the keyboard, and

anyone else had this problem?

I did too. And I never would have bought it if it cost as much as they do now.

Could it be that its not a mistake that there are no cheap powerbooks? Perhaps
the 100 was just a little _too_ cheap, and sold a little _too_ well. I get the
feeling that its no mistake that there are only more expensive (read: more
profitable) models on the market now...

 The reason is the same as the reason computers are cheaper via some sellers
 than others --- it's all about quantity. Schools that sell huge amounts of
 Macs can certainly afford to sell them for a lot less. Illinois, for example,
 is supposedly trying to cut a deal with Apple and the other campus vendors
 where if the University takes a route where they encourage students to buy
 their own computer, the vendors will promise to give them lower prices.

In my experience *all* 72dpi grayscale drawings are turned into b/w
72dpi rasters.  I print greyscale images with the following circuitous
(sp?) route:

1. Copy the greyscale image into GIFConverter (handy program!).
2. Set the resolution to 288 dpi
3. Select Greyscale (as opposed the the default--Color) I forget which
   menu.
4. Select "One Bit" display.  This "dithers" the picture, turning it
   into a 288dpi b/w bitmap.
5. Print it, selecting "Precision Bitmap Alignment", or copy to a program
   like Claris CAD which can squeeze the image down until its 300 dpi.
   The resulting object can be pasted into MS Word, etc.

If there's a simpler way, I'd love to hear it, but I will groan,
because I pasted a lot of pictures into my dissertation this way.

take a while to get here (and shipping costs more...)

Yes, I have curly output also, though I have been able to feed it through
the photocopier.  I suppose it depends on the copier.  I found that coated
(slick) paper (sometimes sold as "laser printer paper") curls extremely
badly.  I just buy the cheapest stuff I can find now, and it's generally
satisfactory for my purposes.  Be sure to close the front exit tray.  It is
vital for envelopes, but makes paper curl more.  My paper is 20 lb. Xerox
copy paper.

My biggest annoyance with the printer is the fact that the left side of the
front exit tray does not have a latch and vibrates against the case when the
motor revs up.  My solution has been to wedge a folded piece of paper
between the left edge of the tray and the case.

    This is a definate yes. Apple hasn't suddenly come out with a new
internal drive standard that on the P600/IIvx conform to. I'm pretty
sure that the CD300i fits very nicely in a 3.5" internal drive bay.

    This is the real question. Does Apple have covers that will fit the
cabinet of machines like the Q950 and the Q800? I have no idea because
nothing has been said about it that I have heard, but it really wouldn't
apply to me since I have already used my interal removable media slot in
my Q950 for a 128MB Magneto-Optical drive.

I (living in Belgium, Europe) want to buy 1 80ns 4Mb SIMM
for my vx with an USA mail order company.

Which post order companies are reliable? Can I reach them
through email?
