I would like to add one thing to this little note.
I believe that applelink users have to pay for any internet mail they
recieve.  I don't know the amount, but it is something to consider.
Apple link users may not accept your mail.
Can anyone on applelink confirm this.

My QMS-PS810's toner image rubs off the paper. I know the toner is supposed
to be fused onto the paper by a very hot roller. Does this mean by roller
burned out? Is this a common problem on laser printers? How do I fix it,
or do I have it fixed by a professional? I have taken the roller unit out to 
examine it for any obvious problems, and there are none that I can see.

Any information would be appreciated, including references to do-it-yourself

DiskLight calls CopyBits to put the light up there.  You'll get problems
if any of your programs either use asynchronous i/o or call a file manager
command at interrupt time.

What this means is that there's a great potential problem.  If any of
your applications do either of the actions mentioned above, you might
(if you're unlucky) crash.  The chances are slim, but they are definitely
there.  The odds go up if you're tight on memory or you're doing a lot
of file i/o.

Even though I don't own Canvas, I removed it from my hard disk...

I'm not familiar with the new program, but did look into the old one.  Be
very careful.  After reviewing the applications, check with your school's
financial aid office.  The old program amounted to nothing more than
a student loan.  The problem was, it had an impact on your financial aid
availability.  The amount you borrowed for the computer would reduce the
the amount available for regular school loans.  Let's say you were approved
for $6000 in school loans, and you bought a mac for $4000 through the
Apple loan program.  Now you would only be able to borrow $2000 for other
educational expenses.  This fact was not made clear in Apple's literature
and I know that the people in our financial aid office were not very happy
with the situation.

Another thing to consider; your parents had to co-sign the loan, unless
you had about $20,000 of your own income.  Therefore, they would be fully
liable to repay any outstanding debt should you default.

Perhaps the new program is different.  Still, I would want someone who
really understands these things to review the fine print before signing....

I was the one who posted about Loom. I'm just wondering if there are
other Macs out there with the same problem (i.e. not IIsi's). As I
mentioned before a friend of mine was having the problem with his IIci.
The problem (for Loom) was fixed when I used System 6.0.7 instead of
System 7. Which leads me to believe that this at least was definitely a
SOFTWARE problem.

Please, if anyone with a non-si, has had this problem, post! Maybe we
can nail this problem down definitely...

Well, you should check with your Apple dealer, but I read that there was
a timing problem on the PowerBooks which had something to do with their
modem capabilities. The symptom was occasional but regular loss of MIDI
data. Again, I urge you to check this out with someone more knowledgable,
it's just hearsay, it may have been fixed, the article may have been wrong
etc., etc.

A studio equipment shop here in London has become an Apple dealer recently
and they are selling the PowerBooks so maybe it's all OK now.

Anyone else know more?

Hi all,

	Before you yell at me, let me say I understand the difference
between AD and DarkSide's implementation techniques and launching
methods, and this understanding is one of the reasons I use DarkSide.
However, it does appear that there are some rather nifty modules out
and about for AfterDark, and DarkSide modules (other than those in the
release) I know not of.  

	Is there any reasonable expectation that one could make a
DarkSide fader with an interface something akin to the ShowPICT or
QuickTime fader, one which lets you pick from a file dialog an AD
module to use, then sorta launches that module when it's told to fade?
I think this could be reasonably cool.

Just a thought,
Nate

P.S.  Anyone know of any add on DarkSide modules around?

I am the originator of this mini-thread, and I have gotten quite a few email
responses about it.  However, it seems that I made two minor omissions that
a number of people have called me on.  They are:

1.  A few people have asked me "Why don't you just use the installer to create
a minimal System, and boot from that?"  Well, actually, I did.  My school's
computer lab has a mix of SE's and LC's, and so I used the Installer to create
a minimal System for these two machines.  My original posting was requesting
some tips on what else I could delete (like Balloon Help).

2.  I mentioned that I would create a file called "system7-no frills" if I got
enough email responses.  A number of people thought that I meant that I would
create a hacked System 7 for distribution.  What I really meant was that I
would create a text file that explained how you could "do it yourself."  So
my new file name is "system7-no-frills.txt".  Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Also, I have gotten enough email about the "piqued gymnast" quote.  (It's what
you get when you double-click on a font.)  Please do not send me any further
email on that subject.

And now, we return you to your regularly scheduled hallucination.

I think that both problems are due to hardware.  I was able to bring my
sound back by changing the volume in the control panel also.  However, that
solution only worked for a couple of minutes, whereas cleaning the connections
made for a more permanent solution (like one month).

I'll agree to that. I cleaned my contacts on the speaker as recommended
some time ago. (this came up before) The powerlight does not flicker,
but I still lose the sound every now and then. Changing the control
panel settings fixes it, BUT why should adjusting it fix the problem if
it is a hardware problem? It would seem that this is a software problem.
Is there a fix to it?

Also, the loss of sound was more frequent when the contacts were dirty, so
cleaning them helped.
