I've printed off literaly hundreds of envelopes, both feeding from the back
and from the front with very little problems.  We did all our Wedding 
Invitation envelopes on the Stylewriter, as well as Christmas Cards last
year.

A few pointers:

	When printing smaller envelopes (not long letter sized) it sometimes
	helps to fold a piece of scratch paper over to help the envelope
	through the rollers straight.  It only takes a second or two and will
	save you some headaches.

	Feeding from the back is better, but it works well enough in most
	cases from the front.  If you have one or two envelopes to print
	there's no reason to take off the sheet feeder.

	MAKE SURE to change the thickness setting.  This is very important.
	And be sure to change it BACK as well.

How about Moire? It's shareware and it should be available on SUMEX. As
far as I can recall it's a control panel, thus, should work just fine
with your computer.

Organization: University of Geneva, Switzerland
Date: Fri, 4 Sep 1992 15:18:08 GMT

Hello there,
I'm a Mac network manager (up to 20 Macs). Actually, the Mac server is really
to slow (the server itself is a MacPlus).
We will change it. We want to buy a Mac Quadra 950 to do the work. It has to
share the files (with AppleShare 3.0), be a fax-modem server, and be a remote
Oracle server (we will connect to a Sun through it via Ethernet).
Does anybody of you havesuch a configuration ?
Is a Mac Quadra 950 really justified, or a simple Mac IIci will be enough ?
(Money is not a problem!).
We need very fast access to disks and files (we use this very slow FileMaker
Pro, and when 10 users are connected to the same file, accessing it is really
not like a Porsche).

Thanks for any help!

Sincerely,

Steve Jordi

It's nice that aliases can cause volume mounts, no question.

Other than that, I don't buy Apple's arguments about how wonderful
aliases are.  The choice, in particular, to prefer directory ids (something
the user can neither see nor control) to  pathnames (full or relative,
UNIX gives you your choice) strikes me as unfortunate.

Anybody who has ever written a mac program that has to deal with files
except in a standard file context understands just how insane the Mac
filesystem is--Cub scouts everywhere should be glad that the filesystem
doesn't have a crawl space.  Aliases are allowing just a little of that
madness to show.

UNIX symlinks with a mount capability would have been cleaner, IMHO.

Good point!!!

Another Mac benefit to foreign language people......

Almost all the programs available in US can handle foreign language without
any modification to the code... Easy localization using ResEdit.

Once you have the script system for the foreign language, you already have
thousands of software in that language...

Bright future..... Apple cares well........ they are developing WorldScript.

I don't see any hope in PC in this topic..

Fair enough. An important issue here, though, is whether Apple is going to
continue offering software support for it in league with the other machines.
With the death of the PB100, that's the last of the 68000 machines gone.
It's twice the speed (with twice the RAM) of the Plus/SE/Classic, which
gives it enough elbow room for a couple of years I reckon, which is why I've
ordered one. After that time, we'll all be after laptop PowerPC's anyway.

This is completely off the subject, but like Tim I feel compelled to
correct
a slander against one of the better companies to work for.

Despite any rumors you may have heard to the contrary, IBM still does
not lay people off. Any reductions in work force you have heard about
have been done through offering people incentives to retire early, 
voluntarily. They fire people for non-performance, yes, but they don't
lay people off.

Furthermore, IBM never, ever *promised* to keep that policy going. In fact,
on numerous occasions, they've specifically warned the opposite - that
one day they may be forced into a layoff situation.

You may not like their hardware, or their software - that's your
perogative.
But they're still a darn good company to work for.

I know, my wife works for them.

Ok, that is very nice, but so what? I agree, we should all use proper
English, and I endeavour to do so. But most posts on usenet are written
very quickly, by very busy people, with rather unsophistocated editors.
Mistakes caused by either carelessness or ignorance (of proper usage) are
bound to occur. I know that I often wind up misspelled (really chewed up)
words all the time. These things need to be overlooked as just something
that happens.

I've been reading this thread right from the start, watching the verbal
assaults flying back and forth from the sideline with great amusement, but 
I'm not going to get into this discussion (yet), because I'm busy with 
school work now.  I will offer an observation:  it seems to me there are 
certain fanatical persons who starts jumping up and down frothing at the 
mouth everytime someone makes an uncomplimentary comment on his Favorite
Machine (even if those comments were right), sounding like a broken record.
I simply don't think this kind of behavior will help people think highly 
of your machine, or you as a person for that matter.  Tone down the 
rhetorics, if not at least keep off the personal insults and flame them
with reason and facts.

I know most Mac users are reasonable and open-minded (I've known some
myself).  If any are still reading (I very much doubt it), what do you
think of what was said here by the Mac fanatic?

I will take my Mac from the US to South America and would
like to get some hints on how to do it.

It's a IIsi and I'm taking the CPU, a monitor and a
printer.

There seem to be 3 (non-exclusive) alternatives:

1. as carry-on in a flight
2. shipped by air separately
3. shipped surface (truck+ship) separately

Checked-in luggage does not look like a good idea to me, and
I'm considering (1) for the CPU only.  As for the monitor &
printer, I have the impression that air shipping would be
the safest (in terms of avoiding damage) though more
expensive. Is this true?

There's a large number of air freight companies to choose
from. Does anyone have experience to give me hints on which
companies are good and which to avoid?

Any comments regarding this matter will be greatly
appreciated. Thanks in advance,

Hmmm...I thought src.doc would do the uncompression for you if you just
