> PC exchange yet?

Yes, I ordered (and received) my copy a couple of days after the promotion by Apple started.

Works well, even overcomes a bug (short coming?) of AccessPC with regards to non-Mac format CD-ROMs.

Successfully ordered and purchased from Castle Computers at Baulkham Hills in Sydneys west.

Subject: Color graphics for SE/30?
Organization: Research School of Chemistry, ANU
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 92 05:17:59 GMT

  I'm thinking about a color monitor for my SE/30, and would
  appreciate any warnings / advice on what is available. At
  the moment my thoughts are:

  - I want LOTS of pixels. After seven years looking at a dinky
  little screen, upgrading to 640x480 just doesn't seem worth
  doing. 1024x768 with at least 256 colors is what I'm aiming for.

  - On the other hand, I can't spend too much.

  A reasonable compromise seems (to me) to be a card such as the
  RasterOps 708+ SE/30 which goes up to 1024x768 with 256 colors,
  connected to a 16" monitor instead of a 19"/21". (I can cope
  with the smaller menu bars, fonts, etc)

  Anyone know of a better graphics card for SE/30s, or can recommend
  a good 16" monitor which can handle 1024x768 pixels?

  Thanks in advance.

We have a problem with printing some files on our Apple Laserwriter IIg. 
So far we have has this problem from Chemdraw files embedded in Word 4
documents and with Cricket Draw inside Word 4.  When we talked to our local
Apple Dealer they said that Apple Technical Support had said our problem was
caused by the fact that these parts of our files causing problems were PICT
files at 72 dpi and we were trying to print them at 300dpi.  

The problem is that some short lines on the diagrams are not printed.

Does anybody have a fix for the printer driver or whatever is causing the
problem?

Incidentally, all the files print perfectly on all our earlier Apple
Laserwriters such as Laserwriter IInt and IIntx.

 From: charlie@deakin.OZ.AU (Charles Widdis)
Organization: Deakin University, Victoria, Australia


   I have a Mac IIsi and 13" monitor, during the day I use the machine and shut
down whenever I finish using it.  This can mean "powering up" 4 - 5 times in
a  day. My question is: would it be better to leave the machine on 24 hrs a
day (putting the screen to sleep); or power on jest once (in the morning) and
leave it going all day, even though sometimes it may not be in use for 3 or
more hrs; or does it matter at all how many times I turn it on and shut down
?

   I am mainly concerned that starting it up 4 - 5 times a day may lead to
premature
damage of the power supply.

   thanks, charlie.

There's a band around playing long the same line as Loose Change, i.e. 
jazz/fusion overs. They cover Tom Scott, Dave Weckl, David Sanborn and 
the likes. The band's name is VENICE BEACH, and they have a residency 
at the Evelyn Hotel in Brunswick St, Fitzroy. 
IMHO, they're pretty good (very good rhythm section!!!), and admission is 
free.

  I think they've changed their starting time to 10.30.
  Yeah, they are great. Daren Farugia (spel) on drums (he's amazing) and
  I can't remember who the others are.

  Virgil Donati and Jack Jones had a band called The Gnomes of Zurich with
  Chris Becker on Bass and a guy who played with L.R.B on their last tour
  on keyboards (can't remember his name). We might see more of them after
  Southern Sons finish touring. The were playing at the Grainstore on
  Tuesday nights. They were playing some originals as well as some Crusaders,
  Eric Marianthal, YellowJackets etc.

Paul Grabowsky teams up with interesting combinations of musicians which
prove more interesting than the generally slicker studio recordings.

Last year he played with Ed Schuller (bass) Ian Chaplain (alto), Niko Shauble
(drums) & some other dude on tenor sax.  Amazing gig.  They are supposed to
have recorded some sessions for future relseases.

Livewise, Niko Shauble has an excellent band "Tibetan Dixie".  More your 
'off the wall' jazz.

If "Musikki Oy!" ever play again - go see them too.

Let's hope so. The less of that toxic waste in Greater Brisbane the better.
A pat recipe that inevitably includes a dull infinitely repeating sequence, a

sub-70's disco.

Such a thing has already been done. Check out the Spill compilation tape.
Spill is a pseudo-cassette label that operates as a clearing house for bands
that produce their own cassettes. They have contacts with bands like Volvox,
Small World Experience, Wondrous Fair, Wank Engine (the name of my band) and
many many others. The people that run it live in Brisbane and Melbourne.
It's a nice reminder that fairly low-tech media aren't necessarily dead.
If you'd like a catalogue or details on how to order a tape, drop me a line.

The first 2 albums are "Gnawing on the bones of Elvis" and "Carnival" which 
available as a 2 on 1 on CD.The 3rd album was Babylon which is also great.
However "The Big One" is not an album but the first single off "Landlocked".
"The Big One" is an excellent CDsingle with covers on it such as the Saints
"Ghost Ships" and Bill Withers " Aint no sunshine"(great value & songs).
"Landlocked" the album actually features great originals.

I've never seen Chris Wilson solo but I saw him with the Coloured Girls and he
has a fantastic presence.Hopefully he'll be up my way soon.

Very true IMHO. Again IMHO, I think the local music industry stinks. It
is controlled almost entirely by the majors, unlike the UK where half the
chart albums and singles are on indie labels, and to a lesser degree the
(I wonder if you can even call UK charts the "mainstream" charts any more)
US where REM and NIN have made it big on small labels. The small labels here
struggle. I don't count Rooart and other subsidiaries of majors as indie.

Most of the majors sign 0 to 3 bands in Australia a year. That's not much.
They usually sign rock bands or mainstream pop dance bands. Hardly ever an
alternative band, and name me an industrial or DM-type band that's recently
been signed to a major here! Maybe you can. I'm not saying you can't :)
But I do say that not much money has been put into alternative synth or dance
music here. Compared with mainstream rock or dance pop.

I wonder also why there are no or few pirate radio stations playing techno
or other underground type music, as there are in the UK. Anyone know why not?

I used to see lots of interesting stuff at the Strawberry Hills. Just
read the freebie newspapers (OnTheStreet...) and look in the jazz
section. Lots of suggestions to be found there. If you have money then
go to see Dale Barlow (he usually plays expensive places). 

Most stuff I see is pretty damn good, except for those trombone-playing
New Orleans sounding bands.
