The study will take only ten minutes of your time (at the most)

You can participate over the phone

You must be a user of the "Kolor" utility

Participants will receive a copy of the study results when the study is
completed.  Please let me know if you want to participate.

Thanks,

This may not be the ultimate solution, but it may work for you while
you're waiting for someone to produce the ult. sol.

If you hold down the option key while changing applications, the
previous application will be hidden. I don't know about option-opening
an app - you can try it. But if you've got Finder and MacWrite open,
Finder in front, select MacWrite from the apps menu or click a MW window
while holding option. Finder goes away.

Good luck,

5.   Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the "menu title text", the "item
     background," and the "item text."

6.  Please answer the following questions:

    A.  How did you pick the colors for these features.  That is, how
        did you decide on the particular colors you selected?

    B. How often do you change the colors of these items?   

    C. How long has it been since you changed the colors on these items?

    D. Do you have any form of color blindness?

I just bought the Supra v.32.bis FaxModem. Stand alone, it's about $300. 
You can Xfer (PEAK!) at 57.6kbps. But if you do it in the background, the 
Mac just can't keep up. Also, AppleTalk has 1st priority, and using a 
network while using a 57.6kbps connection usually won't work well.

If you happen to have a file being written when you turn it off, then that file
is most likely going to have some damage done. Likely, you're going to hit
the Desktop, possibly the System and your app.

Instead of taking the keyboard off, why not add a long alphanumeric password
to shut the program down. A kid is not likely to guess a long one, and you
can shut down in peace.

I should note that Apple still says that adding and removing (I think the
latter is included) ADB devices while your machine is on can fry a chip on
the motherboard (i.e. bye bye motherboard...). It's Not A Good Idea (tm).

Two Questions about the PB100 that I haven't seen addressed in any of the FAQs:

1. Even after charging the battery for 12 hours, the superclock
battery display only shows a partially charged battery. Despite this,
the machine will run for about 2 hours. Is this normal for the 100 or
does it indicate a problem. 

2. Long ago I thought I read about a DA to adjust the brightness on a
100 running System 6. What is this DA and where can I find it? The
brightness DA on the System disks doesn't seem to work.
