TidBITS#144/28-Sep-92
=====================
 
 It seems that PowerBooks are all the rage these days, and we have
   news on the upcoming PowerBook Duos, along with a report on how
   Apple handles the PowerBook 100 Rework program and an article
   about GCC's new WriteMove II portable printer. In other news,
   Apple prices drop even further, sumex holds a bake sale (not
   really), and you should stay on the lookout for a new 13" color
   monitor from Apple that tastes great and is less filling.

  Bill Leue writes, "Your article on the StyleWriter backlog problem
  mentions the HP DeskWriter as a suitable substitute. You should
  also note that HP has recently extended the warranty on the
  DeskWriter to three years, making it even more attractive. The
  latest HP drivers seem to completely eliminate problems with
  System 7.0, TrueType, etc., and offer print spooling to boot."

Apple Support
  A friend writes in response to Tonya's query about how Apple would
  restrict toll-free support to people who buy through the new Apple
  Catalog: "I used to work on the System 7 upgrade answer line so I
  may be able to answer your question. Users who purchase items
  mail-order will have to provide their serial number, which will be
  their ticket into the support line. If you don't have the magic
  number, you will be referred to the usual avenues of support,
  dealers, user groups, and so on."
 
 
About those mailing lists...
  In response to our comment of last week about Apple never having
  used the mailing list they keep from returned registration cards,
  Edward Reid writes:
 
  They use it now - to make money by selling it to third-party
  vendors. When I sent in the registration for my IIci, I listed my
  P.O. Box as 378-CI. I also checked the box on the card requesting
  no outside use. (I believe that box was on the IIci card. Some of
  the registration cards had it and some didn't. The ones that
  didn't, I wrote a note to the same effect.) A few months later I
  got advertising mail from some unrelated vendor (I no longer
  remember who - I think it was only one). Because of the variation
  in the P.O. Box,** **I knew the address came from Apple. I called
  Apple and complained. They said, "If you checked the box we
  wouldn't do that." I said, "Caught you red-handed." They must have
  fixed it; I haven't received any more mail sent to that P.O. Box.

Navigator Buglet
----------------
  We incorrectly reported a problem in replying to Internet email
  from CompuServe in TidBITS#142. The problem is that Internet mail
  coming in has the initial ">" character stripped from the address.
  That in itself is not necessarily a problem, as it turns out,
  since CompuServe has changed the way the gateway works so you no
  longer need that character. Sort of. CompuServe Information
  Manager 2.0.1 responded to a test mailfile correctly, however,
  Navigator 3.1.1 failed in the same test. The simple workaround for
  Navigator is inserting the ">" character in front of the word
  INTERNET in the sender's address in the message window. Then you
  can click Reply and Navigator will use your edited address instead
  of the incorrect one.
 
  The fact that CIM worked correctly but Navigator didn't implies,
  and this was confirmed by Dave Elliott of CompuServe, that the
  problem lies in the protocols that CompuServe uses to communicate
  with Navigator in the Mail area. Thus, there's no telling who has
  to fix what, but for the time being Navigator users have to fix
  outgoing replies to Internet mail.

Prices, Prices, Prices
----------------------
  I'm not going to publish a chart of Macintosh prices this week,
  but I might do one next week when the retail channel gets a look
  at the new suggested retail prices that Apple USA just announced.
  Apple dropped the suggested retail prices by 11% to 36%, with most
  of the cuts coming on machines from the IIci on down. The Quadra
  prices only changed by between 11% and 22%. Do note that these
  cuts are only effective in the US.
 
  We have no way of knowing how much these price cuts will affect
  real world prices since Apple lowered prices to dealers several
  weeks ago and the lowest discount prices in our chart of last week
  might reflect those cuts. It's possible that dealers unable to
  match the volume of the larger metropolitan dealers will now be
  able to reduce their prices significantly, but pricing remains up
  to the individual dealer. Still, it's hard to complain about price
  cuts of any sort, especially after the news that Apple will not
  distribute System 7.1 for free.
 
  The price cuts will decrease the initial sticker shock for
  shoppers, especially those frequenting superstores before
  Christmas. In a twist that may not surprise some, IBM just
  informed department stores that it won't deliver the lowest-priced
  machines that it announced a few weeks ago (various PC-clone
  configurations, not in the slightest bit interesting in and of
  themselves). So instead of the promised $1,100 machines, IBM will
  send these unhappy dealers machines starting at $1,700, although
  the more expensive computers supposedly have "more advanced
  technology." Compaq's ProLinea line has reportedly been in short
  supply since its June introduction, and with these two major
  players bungling the consumer market as they have done so often in
  the past (bringing up the PCjr in this context is a hallowed
  tradition), Apple's lower prices might bring a significant number
  of new users into the fold. With a perfectly useful (if not
  technologically-whizzy) Classic II 4/40 listing for $1,079 and a
  color-capable LC II 4/40 listing at $1,239 (gee, I just described
  the Performa 200 and 400 - what a surprise), and a ramped up
  production line, Apple stands an excellent chance of stealing the
  show this Christmas.
 
  More support for the move against DOS-based clones comes from a
  new deal Apple will unveil on October 19th. Called "The Easy Way,"
  the deal will allow a purchaser of any Mac other than a Performa
  to purchase a bundle of software for a suggested retail of $399.
  Apple designed the bundle to highlight the Mac's superiority over
  and compatibility with DOS machines, and it will include Lotus
  1-2-3 for Macintosh, WordPerfect/Mac, Universal SoftPC, and
  AccessPC. That gives you the Mac versions of the two best-selling
  packages in the DOS world, the ability to run most DOS
  applications slowly, and the ability to easily use DOS disks.
  Considering that those products cost over $850 mail order, go for
  that $399 price if you want the software. You can only get this
  deal if you purchase a Mac through a dealer or VAR (value-added
  reseller) and it expires on 03-Jan-93.

Sumex Fund Drive
----------------
  It's one step above a bake sale, but a grass-roots movement is
  underway among Internet users to raise money toward a few
  gigabytes of disk space for the popular FTP site at sumex-
  aim.stanford.edu. The site has been overwhelmed with submissions
  and Bill Lipa, the administrator, has had to implement a policy of
  deleting less commonly used files. Unfortunately, those files
  always show up in a net question or answer shortly thereafter, and
  someone has to resubmit them. Part of the problem no doubt stems
  from the number of cool, but huge, QuickTime movies that have
  appeared in the last few months.
 
  The solution is simple. Buy more disk space. It's not that simple,
  however, when you realize that the archive is entirely run by
  volunteers, primarily Bill, and that sumex is unrelated to
  Stanford University other than the fact that Stanford owns the
  computer itself. The archive has no money and no status as a legal
  entity. From that quandary sprang the idea of a fund drive. If
  several hundred people (which isn't many, considering how many
  people use sumex daily) send in $10, Bill could buy a larger drive
  to add to the relatively small one currently online.
 
  If you use sumex (or one of the mirror sites that depends on sumex
  for its files) and wish to contribute $10 or so (I'm sure Bill
  wouldn't turn down a few million if you have that lying around,
  and then we'd have a full-time moderator for life.), you can send
  a check made out to "William Lipa" to:
 
    William Lipa
    P.O. Box 7313
    Menlo Park, CA 94026-7313  U.S.A.
 
  A number of issues about logistics and using the money
  appropriately came up on Info-Mac Digest, which Bill also
  moderates, but the only real option is to send checks to Bill. As
  Bill said at some point, if you don't trust him, you're unlikely
  to contribute in the first place. He will maintain a file on sumex
  listing check numbers and amounts so people can keep track of what
  comes in and the total available. If you include your email or
  snail mail address with your check and ask, Bill will send you a
  note acknowledging receipt of the check.
 
  Of course, one way around all of this would be for a company to
  donate a large SCSI hard drive in return for mention as the
  drive's donor. I believe sumex runs on a Sun workstation of some
  sort, so if you know of a company interested in gaining some net
  exposure, drop Bill a note and ask him about the specifics.
  There's no such thing as too much disk space, especially for a
  public archive that serves thousands of people.
 
  And as Bill said, he'll donate $20,000 worth of his time, so in
  comparison to all that work what's a measly $10 or so if you're a
  heavy user? My check is in the mail.

PowerBook 100 Rework Experience
-------------------------------
  by Don Norman -- dnorman@ucsd.edu
 
  On September 19th, I signed on to AppleLink and discovered that my
  PowerBook 100 was being recalled [to prevent the problem that
  could melt a small hole in the case - see TidBITS#143]. That
  didn't sound good. I immediately called the 800 number, five
  minutes after closing time. "No problem," the person said, "we are
  here to help."
 
  The next day, September 20th, Airborne Express delivered a big box
  to my doorstep, with complete and easy to follow instructions. I
  packed the PowerBook and the next morning called Airborne to come
  and pick it up, which they did the same day, September 21st.
 
  On September 23rd, Airborne Express delivered the PowerBook back
  to me. Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to run off of the battery,
  just off of wall current. How did the battery get discharged? I
  left it charging overnight. The next morning (September 24th) it
  still wouldn't work off battery, and it wouldn't work off my spare
  battery. I called the Apple trouble line. John, who answered the
  phone, couldn't help, so he turned me over to Ben. Ben said, "you
  know that switch at the back of the PowerBook that disconnects the
  battery? Check its setting". "Oh," I said, flipped the switch and
  guess what, the dead battery came back to life.
 
  Conclusion: A very smooth and well run operation. Nothing on the
  disk was lost. But I did lose all the Control Panel parameters -
  date, time, AppleLink setting - even the city setting in the Map.
  (Bad design, if you ask me: on battery-operated portables, this
  stuff ought to be saved on the hard disk, not in a power-sensitive
  location.)
 
  [The trio of lithium batteries inside the PowerBook 100's "back
  door" provide current to store this kind of information, and even
  the computer's whole memory image briefly, when the main battery
  is dead or has been removed so another can be inserted. Under most
  circumstances, you'll never have ALL battery and AC power removed
  at once. This will only happen when the machine is being serviced,
  and all power MUST be removed so as to avoid damaging the
  PowerBook's components. Having to reset a few things such as time,
  location, and mouse tracking is, IMHO, a small price to pay in
  return for not frying the logic board. - Mark]
 
  Disclaimer: Between the time I sent in the PowerBook and the time
  it came back, I accepted a job at Apple as an Apple Fellow to
  start 01-Jan-93 (where, among other things, I hope to improve
  designs such as the volatile Control Panel). My experience with
  the PowerBook modification was superb, but if it had been bad, I
  would have told you.
 
 
Lighter Color on the Horizon
----------------------------
  Along with the new monitors Apple introduced with the Performas,
  look for a new 13" color monitor to replace the aging Apple 13"
  color monitor on October 19th. The new monitor will cost $200 less
  than the old one, weigh much less, and include a tilt & swivel
  base and front-mounted controls. Picture quality should remain
  high with a newer Sony Trinitron.
 
  The only question is whether or not the new monitor will cause
  more interference problems in double-monitor setups without the
  heavy, metal shielding used by the older 13" color monitor. As it
  is, I can't put my SE/30 closer than about four inches from my
  Apple 13" color monitor or the color monitor flickers badly. I'll
  be curious to see if Apple discontinues the much-maligned 12"
  color monitor or merely lowers its price.

The WriteMove, Baby
-------------------
  As the popularity of the Macintosh PowerBooks increases (Apple
  claims to have sold more than 300,000 PowerBooks in less than a
  year), more and more PowerBook-specific products arrive at the
  industry doorstep (if not ours :-)). Some seem to fade into
  obscurity, such as the SCSI-based Radius PowerView, whose lack of
  popularity may have helped slow the release of SuperMac's
  SuperView as well. Others seem destined to fare better, and from
  the initial sounds of it, GCC's new WriteMove II printer should
  find a nice niche for itself.
 
  GCC specifically designed the WriteMove II to complement the
  PowerBook line. The printer weighs in at a mere 2.5 pounds,
  measures 11.7" x 3.5" x 2.0" (which puts it at about half the size
  of a closed PowerBook), features 360 x 360 dpi resolution, and can
  run on battery power (it recharges when it's plugged in). In the
  past, portable printers have traded quality for portability, but
  it appears that the WriteMove has solved that problem with its 360
  x 360 dpi resolution and ATM and TrueType compatibility.
  Unfortunately, the WriteMove does not come completely without
  trade-offs.
 
  The print engine differs from the common low-end printers these
  days since it uses thermal fusion to imprint characters with a
  wax-based ink from the ribbon. GCC has two types of ribbons, a
  multi-strike cloth ribbon that you can flip five or more times and
  a single-strike ribbon for absolutely final copies. The single-
  strike ribbon costs significantly more per page, not surprisingly,
  but the multi-strike ribbon's quality will suffice for most common
  printing jobs, although the quality decreases as you use up the
  ribbon. Interestingly for those who do presentations on the road,
  the WriteMove II prints on normal transparencies.
 
  Needless to say, the WriteMove II uses QuickDraw, which means that
  you must use either ATM and PostScript fonts or TrueType to print
  at a full 360 dpi resolution. To help you along, GCC bundles ATM
  and Adobe Type 1 versions of Times, Courier, Helvetica, Helvetica
  Narrow, Symbol, and Palatino (six font families for a total of 21
  fonts). Of course, you have a bunch of those as TrueType fonts
  included with System 7, but it's still useful.
 
  The driver software offers most of the features commonly available
  such as background printing, but GCC has built in a couple of less
  common features as well. If you want to queue up a bunch of files
  to print later (say you're working on a plane and don't have the
  printer set up), you can use Print Later, and if you want to check
  your document before printing, GCC included a Preview mode. The
  driver has a Color/Grayscale mode like Apple's LaserWriter driver,
  and for those five people who still use bitmap fonts, the GCC
  driver does font smoothing.
 
  The WriteMove's major drawback (and the reason why you wouldn't
  use it as your main printer) is that you must feed each sheet to
  it personally. That's certainly not a problem for a new
  presentation transparency, or for printing out a quick memo, but
  it would pale as entertainment after the first 15 or 20 pages of a
  long document. In addition, the WriteMove II is no speed demon at
  about a half page per minute, but you can't expect blinding speed
  from something that weighs 2.5 pounds and can run on battery
  power. The batteries last for about 12 to 15 pages per charge, and
  you can recharge the batteries (it will take about six hours for a
  full charge, although the batteries charge whenever the printer is
  plugged in, even if it's printing) about 600 times before you need
  new ones. Like the PowerBooks, the WriteMove II has a power-
  conserving sleep mode that it enters after one minute of idle
  time. After three minutes it shuts itself off to save even more
  power.
 
  Aside from the paper handling and slow speed, the only other
  problem I see is that you have to get ribbons directly from GCC or
  a GCC dealer, which may make them hard to find when you're on the
  road and the ribbon wears out (as it no doubt will). GCC will
  deliver a ribbon overnight for $9, which is expensive, but in an
  emergency.... Otherwise, the WriteMove II sounds perfect for those
  people who live and die by their PowerBooks in hotel rooms.
 
  Particularly when combined with a 170 with an internal
  PowerPort/Gold modem (which sends and receives faxes), the
  WriteMove II offers some impressive features in a small and light
  package. If GCC could add an optional paper tray, they'd have a
  definite winner on their hands. As it stands now, the WriteMove II
  should be a popular printer for portable users, but purchasers
  might compare it to the Kodak Diconix 150 (the printer on which
  GCC based its now-discontinued WriteMove printer) in order to
  determine which feature set and trade-off set best meets their
  specific needs.
 
  The WriteMove II has a one year warranty and will retail for $599,
  but dealers set their own prices, so I'd expect it to run around
  $500 at first, perhaps dropping a bit after the novelty has worn
  off.

Duo Date Approaching
--------------------
  A few weeks back in TidBITS#138 I wrote briefly about the upcoming
  Macintosh PowerBook Duo 210 and 230, mostly focussing on basic
  specs. More information has come in since then, both good and bad,
  but in terms of overall design, I think that Apple has a winner
  with the Duos. As I said previously, the Duos weigh about 4
  pounds, measure 8.5" X 11" X 1.4", support up to 24 MB of RAM, use
  9", 4-bit grey-scale, backlit, supertwist LCD screens, include
  either 80 or 120 MB hard drives, and run with either a 25 MHz or
  33 MHz 68030. They have only two ports, a serial port and an RJ-11
  phone port for the internal modem's phone line connection.
 
  Power management will supposedly improve, and the Duos will
  automatically dim the screen and/or go to sleep when closed. For
  those that despise the sliders that the 140, 145, and 170 use for
  controlling the screen, the Duos will have push button brightness
  and contrast controls. We reserve judgement until we've tried it,
  but the sliders are decidedly inferior to the PowerBook 100's
  dials. Finally, perhaps because Apple never took advantage of the
  motherboard/daughterboard design of the current PowerBooks
  (although we've heard rumors of some third parties working on
  interesting projects that involve that daughterboard), the Duos
  will have a single motherboard along with a light magnesium frame
  that provides stiffness and helps dissipate heat.
 
  The list prices will range between $2,500 and $3,000 for the base
  units. The fact that Apple stuffed that much power into a four
  pound package is interesting in and of itself, but even better are
  the two docks that Apple will sell separately, the Duo Dock for
  about $1,200 and the Duo MiniDock for about $600.
 
 
Docks
  The Duo Dock looks like nothing so much as a IIsi with a really
  big floppy port along the entire front. It will be two-toned,
  PowerBook charcoal on the bottom and Macintosh platinum on top
  (since people will pretty much have to use it with a PowerBook
  inside and a monitor sitting on top). The oversized floppy port
  holds the PowerBook Duo itself, sucking it in as the Mac sucks in
  a floppy disk. Somewhere in that process, a door in the back of
  the Duo flips down to expose what is supposedly a 400-pin
  connector that will attach to the dock internally. The Duo Dock
  features two NuBus slots, a slot for a math coprocessor, a
  SuperDrive, room for another optional hard drive, and the full set
  of normal Macintosh ports, including internal video. As we
  reported before, you can lock the Duo into the dock with a key
  switch so you only have to secure the dock itself (if you needed
  to lock it down for security reasons). Removing the Duo requires
  pushing an eject button - there's no software-based SuperTrash
  that ejects the Duo when you drag the hard disk to the trash. The
  only drawback to the Duo Dock is the placement of the internal
  floppy drive. Apple ran out of space, so the drive sits low to the
  ground on the side, which means that papers and other junk on your
  desk will block it.
 
  The Duo MiniDock provides essentially the same ports used by the
  PowerBook 145 and 170 currently with a few additions, an RJ-11
  jack, sound in and out, SCSI (a totally unconfirmed rumor says
  that you may see more of that HDI-30 SCSI port in the future, even
  in desktop Macs), printer and modem serial ports, video out, ADB,
  floppy, and a power jack. It won't have the floppy drive, room for
  an additional hard drive, or NuBus slots of the Duo Dock, hence
  the lower price. I suspect that users who primarily use the Duo
  when traveling will prefer the MiniDock so they can have a full
  selection of ports (they can use the ports in the hotel room since
  the MiniDock will be light and portable, but probably not on the
  plane, since the MiniDock and Duo will be less portable than just
  the Duo). The floppy port on the MiniDock will only work with the
  PowerBook 100's HDI-20-based SuperDrive. Interestingly, the
  MiniDock reportedly provides Super VGA output so you can hook into
  one of those monitors should you need to.
 
  Apple will also offer a sub-$150 adapter that provides only ADB
  and floppy ports for the Duos, which makes sense for people who
  don't want all the options in the MiniDock. This adapter is more
  important than it sounds. Since the Duos cannot do the PowerBook
  100 SCSI-disk trick, the only way to get data into them (other
  than by slow modem) is via LocalTalk or floppy, and the only way
  to get a floppy attached without one of the more expensive docks
  is this $150 adapter.
 
  One detail that has gone unmentioned is the need for a keyboard
  and mouse. You'll obviously need one when docked to a Duo Dock,
  since it sucks the complete Duo inside. By the same token, you
  won't need them with the MiniDock or the adapter, since you'll
  have access to the Duo's monitor, and thus its keyboard and
  trackball.
 
 
More docks
  MacWEEK reported this week that several third parties are working
  on additional docks, including two from E-Machines. The $500
  PowerLink Presentor will provide gobs of video output choices
  along with graphics acceleration, stereo output, serial ports, and
  ADB and floppy ports. The $700 PowerLink DeskNet, on the other
  hand, will add Ethernet support, stereo input, and a SCSI
  connector, along with hardware pan and zoom.
 
  I'm unsure how well third party docks will sell. E-Machines and
  others may face some resistance from people who feel that the dock
  is not merely an accessory, but an integral part of a Duo, and
  thus the best docks must come from Apple (I'm not saying that it's
  logical reasoning, but I'll bet it will happen). I could also see
  some suspicion of added incompatibilities until the third party
  docks had proven themselves and been reviewed in the magazines.
  Nonetheless, users should eventually welcome the additional
  flexibility as long as it doesn't come at too high of a cost.
 
 
Modems
  Although Global Village has all but sewed up the market for
  PowerBook modems (OK, so that's probably a slight exaggeration and
  I haven't tested any of them), Apple will attempt to make up for
  the mediocre modem it shipped with earlier PowerBooks with the
  Apple Express Modem. Like the PowerPort/Gold, Apple's new modem
  will be what I call "v.everything" which means v.32bis and on down
  along with send and receive 9600 bps fax capabilities. Apple will
  sell bundles that include the modem, and no telling yet how Apple
  will set the pricing on those bundles.
 
 
Opinionated drooling
  OK, I'll admit it. I think the Duos and their docks are the
  neatest things since automatic breadmakers (I was born after
  sliced bread was neat). I see a dream system consisting of a 24 MB
  Duo 230 with an internal v.everything modem and a Duo Dock that
  has an extra large hard drive and a math coprocessor along with a
  16" color monitor and a few NuBus cards, perhaps a VideoSpigot or
  something like that. You get tremendous performance when docked
  with the additional hard drive and the coprocessor, and the 16"
  monitor and NuBus slots provide everything you need when at your
  desk. Away from the office, however, you still have an impressive
  machine that only has a smaller grey-scale monitor, less disk
  space, no floppy, and no coprocessor, not to mention the smaller
  keyboard and recessed trackball. That's still nothing to sneeze at
  for portable use, especially in a four pound package. The price
  will stay steep for a while, especially since the Duo will use a
  new, smaller memory card, but a Duo and Duo Dock combination will
  really replace the combination of a desktop Mac, a IIci say, and a
  PowerBook 170. I'll bet in that light the Duo does well. The only
  people who won't be able to take advantage of the Duo scheme are
  those like me who have their Macs doing stuff all the time via
  modem. If I went to Macworld and took my hypothetical Duo, I
  wouldn't get any email the entire week, which would be a problem.
  Now if only Apple could throw in some Newton technology, I might
  just have to turn the SE/30 into an email server...
