Also MachTen will run on a PowerBook 140 or 170, A/UX won't.

Theres a free cdev called Simon which allows you to change date and
time formats for the system.  The version I have is old and I don't
think runs on System 7.  An updated version was posted to
c.s.m.binaries a while ago, but is gone.  I looked around the usual
places but it's not there.  If anyone has a copy of the new version,
maybe you could send it to Stephane?

Perhaps my emphasis was incomplete.  I was saying that YOU yourself
can do what you will with your personal copy, so long as it doesn't
become hundreds of other people's "personal" copy as well.  You can
wallpaper your bedroom with screenshots of Simpsons stuff and you're
probably OK, as long as it's personal use of a personal copy of a
tape.

Hello,
we just set up Quadra 950, and installed extra 16 MB to bank C.  When we
started it, it played a strange one chord sound, and then started up very
nicely.  It plays the same sound after every restart, but works properly,
and shows 24 MB of RAM, that are installed on it.  It's fine in general,
the only suspicious problem IMHO is the sound.  It's practically the same,
as when the memory is not installed properly, but it does not show sad mac
icon, like in other Macs.  So my question is - is Quadra 950 supposed to
play this sound on startup, or something is wrong with it?
Please, help us, it's really urgent.


Please, e-mail me 24 hrs a day

sure you would, when you went next year to get license plates for that car-
with its specific serial number--and discovered that the car with that serial
number had already been registered and licensed to run on the roads, therefore
you can't also get a license plate to run that car with that serial number. 
You'll have to buy a new car, or else make sure that copies don't get into the
hands of auto thieves.  Which would you rather do?

At that point, when you discover (belatedly) that someone stole a copy of your
car and licensed it and now you still have payments on a car you can't legally
drive on the roads, you'd be running hell bent for leather to get the police
to pursue this.

Am I missing something, or is there no easy way to send the currently selected

Is there an easier or faster way?  Cutting and pasting takes several seconds.

I've written a script which assigns the current selection to a variable, and
then sends that, but it's still very slow.

WriteNow comes with a Date CDEV that allows the default date format to be
altered. I'm not sure if you can get the CDEV without buying a copy
of WriteNow. You may want to call T/Maker (MacConnection can probably
give you the number.)

I don't know if it will work with a French System configuration.

I need some advice on how to hook an NEC-LC860+ laser printer to a Macintosh.
I am aware that the NEC is not a PostScript printer; the object is to allow
output to be printed (even if it looks like dot-matrix variety) to the printer
since that's what we have.  I was told by a local printer-vendor that I 
would have to buy a $150 cable/converter called a "grappler" to do this. I
don't know alot about mac's (I'm a PC type), but I was under the impression
that all I needed was two Appletalk interfaces (mac port + printer port) and 
a cable - is this correct ?  Any/all help & comments would be greatly    
appreciated !!  Thanks.

Yes, I seem to remember it was a rather big news story.  Can't believe I 
forgot about it when I wrote the post.  Intersting question though in relation
to software.  Does this means you can copy games?  (I know, I know - software
isn't music or video (even though both are supposedly covered by the same law)

Actually I was rather serious about that.  I made a facitious point because
most of these laws aren't carried to their extreme.  For exampleyou must pay
royalties when you perform a song.  I have heard of several groups which have
had troubles in this area.  Now usually the police are nice about it.  But
I think that it all comes down to the interpretation of what a public
performance is.  But then again I could be wrong.  I know they are quite picky
about photocopying music for choirs and the like.   But then most school bands
I know of still do it.

What was the SC's justification of the difference? Does anyone know?

What about the multiple machine case?  Lets say I have two computers.  Can I
have my copy of Word installed on both?  Unless I am mistaken I think that
technically this is a no.

You're missing the point.  You don't have an *entire* Simpsons episode
as your beep, do you?  (It would be hell to get any woirk done that
way).  You are not infringing on a copyright by taking a tiny excerpt.

However, if you had a Quicktime movie that was a whole episode, with
the same resolution as the TV show (if possible), then, yeah, Groening
would mind.  As would SAG, WGA, DGA, AFTRA, etc.

Premier might be better the Director. They claim they never heard of
Director or Macromind. (yeah, right)

I've played with Premier 1.0 and it seems OK. Adobe says that they've
added a lot of functionality to 2.0 and that it will ship in a few 
weeks.

About the only thing I've heard about Director is that it's real

How is this different from having a video tape with an episode of the Simpsons 
or some othe TV program?  I imagine that 95% of all VCR's have been used to do
just this.  In fact many people keep them.  I personally taped ever episode of
Twin Peaks off the TV.  They are now available on VCR tapes.  Am I a pirate?
Yet this is just what VCR are DESIGNED to do.  That is how they are marketed.
Many pay TV stations specifically market their movies to be taped.

Likewise many people tape songs off the radio.  Many people sing songs in their
cars on the way to work.  All of these are violations of the copyright laws
JUST AS MUCH AS SOFTWARE PIRACY IS.
